For this week’s discussion, I chose to analyze the cause and effect of the Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre.
The Stamp Act of 1765 was a direct tax imposed by the British Parliament on the American colonies, requiring them to pay a tax on every piece of printed paper they used. The act was met with widespread opposition among the colonists, who argued that they should not be taxed without representation in Parliament. This led to protests, boycotts, and acts of civil disobedience across the colonies. The Stamp Act Congress was convened,uniting colonial leaders in opposing British taxation policies and laying the groundwork for future cooperation and resistance.
The Boston Massacre of 1770 was a violent confrontation between British Soldiers and a crowd of colonists in Boston, Massachusetts. Tensions had been rising between the colonists and the British authorities, particularly due to the presence of British troops in Boston and the enforcement of unpopular policies. The massacre occurred when a mob began harassing British soldiers, leading to the soldiers firing into the crowd and killing five civilians. This event further inflamed anti-British sentiment in the colonies and fueled calls for independence.
In terms of significance, while both the Stamp Act and the Boston Massacre were crucial events leading to the American Revolution, in my opinion, the Stamp Act had a more profound and far-reaching impact. The Stamp Act directly challenged the principle of colonial autonomy and sparked organized resistance and unity among the colonies. It prompted the formation of the Stamp Act Congress, which laid the groundwork for future intercolonial cooperation and resistance against British policies. Additionally, the repeal of the Stamp Act marked a significant victory for the colonists and demonstrated the power of their collective action.
On the other hand, the Boston Massacre served as a rallying cry for the. Colonists further fueled anti-British sentiment, but it did not have the same organizational impact as the Stamp Act. While it contributed to the growing tensions between the colonies and Britain, the Boston Massacre was more of a catalyst for further resistance rather than a unifying force for colonial opposition. Therefore, while both events played important roles in the lead-up to the American Revolution, the Stamp Act is considered more significant due to its broader implications and its role in galvanizing colonial resistance against British taxation and control.

Critical Review Assignment Instructions
prepare two brief review essays, each of them about 750 words (about three standard typescript pages) in length.
The purpose of this assignment is to build your critical reading and writing skills by requiring
you to isolate key ideas and arguments in scholarly essays and articles.
analysis will integrate
answers to the following questions:
1) “What is the major argument, or thesis, of each assigned text?”; and
2) “Taken together, what do these texts contribute to a reader’s understanding of the topics
and themes they address?”
Try not to approach this as a summary, an opinion piece, a personal reflection, or a research
essay based on limited sources. A useful way to think about this is that your topic is the
readings themselves, not their shared topic.
Don’t be fooled by the words “critical review”: task is neither to assess the merits of the
assigned readings nor to find something to criticize. Until you have read widely, you aren’t in
much of a position to do either, and you pretty much have to go on faith that the assigned items
have scholarly integrity and merit.

Task summary:
Read the book “The House of the Spirits” by Isabel Allende then write 4 pages of paper.
Full order description:
Dear Freelancer,
please write a paper
MAIN DETAILS::
Please read Isabel Allende’s novel The House of the Spirits and write an essay on the following topic.
In what ways does Isabel Allende’s novel The House of the Spirits illustrate some of the primary issues, themes, and problems of twentieth century Latin American history, as discussed in Chasteen’s Born in Blood and Fire, Wood & Alexander’s Problems in Modern Latin American History, and in other course materials this semester? Explain how the story of the Trueba family relates to what you have learned about the history of Latin America, and about Chile in particular. This is not a book report. It is a critical analysis essay that evaluates a work of fiction as a historical primary source document. For example, you may choose to explore how the novel illustrates the ways in which gender, and/or race, and/or class, and/or religion have shaped the social, political, and economic history of Latin America, and the history of Chile in particular.
Structural Guidelines:
The introductory paragraph of your essay should include a thesis statement, which is simply a concise statement of your answer to the essay question. You may want to think of the first paragraph as a road map for your readers, since it shows where your argument will go. In the body of your paper, flesh out your thesis: discuss each of your points in paragraphs that begin with topic sentences and support your points with evidence from The House of the Spirits, Born in Blood and Fire, and Problems in Modern Latin American History. Each time you make an assertion, provide specific evidence to support your point, and cite the page numbers of Allende’s book (or Chasteen’s or Wood’s) where you found that evidence. A paper without citations to sources in the body of the essay cannot earn a passing grade. As a general guideline, your paper should provide at least 10 different page number citations from course readings. This does not mean that you necessarily need 10 quotations from the books. Discuss the book primarily in your own words, but when you do quote evidence in its original phrasing, make sure to use quotation marks. Your concluding paragraph should briefly restate your thesis and the main points of your argument in a way that takes into account the fact that your reader has now read your full essay with its supporting evidence.

Adoption of a Sedentary Lifestyle
People moved to areas where their farms were situated and settled there abandoning nomadism.
Division of Labour
People began to specialise in specific occupations. Some concentrated on farming, while others made implements.
Trade
Trade emerged as the people within various professions regularly exchanged their products for those that they lacked, e.g., pots could be exchanged for grains.
Urbanisation
The areas where trade took place grew steadily in both size and population becoming urban centres. More and more people settled here due to their convenience, since they would not have to travel constantly to trade for supplies.
The craftsmen also set up their premises at these central locations as they did not have farms of their own. Examples are Ur, Nippur and Babylon.
Social Classes
The society began to be stratified as specific classes began to emerge as people developed various measures and degrees of wealth and prestige. Thus, there were different levels of prestige for land owners, blacksmiths, potters, weavers, etc.
Development of Laws and Government
As the population increased, it became necessary to have regulations that would guide peoples’ activities so as to avoid conflict. Thus, laws were created. This was followed by the need for an authority to ensure that the laws were obeyed. This led to the formation of governments. It is from these governments that kingdoms and empires grew.
Invention of Writing
With increased food production came the need for record-keeping and thus writing was developed. This form of writing was called cuneiform.
Education
Record keepers conversant with writing and mathematics were required and thus centres began to emerge where people, especially from the upper class, could be trained in literacy and numeracy. This was the origin of formal education.
Inventions
Important inventions including the ox- drawn plough, the seed drill and the wheel were made.
Development of Religion
With time man began to perceive that there were other forces that determined the yields from his farm. The sunand other elements of the weather were recognised to have influence over harvests. As a result man began to beseech these to deal with him favourably. This he did by speaking to them and later by offering sacrifices to them. Thus, various gods emerged that were related to agriculture, e.g., Ninuria god of floods.

listen to the audio and respond to questions.
1] What does the word “enlightenment” mean? [you can check in dictionary if you wish].
2. Why do you thinks the name “enlightenment” was chosen for the new intellectual movement of the 17-18 centuries?
3. What does the name say about the aims of this movement?
4. can you think why this Enlightenment movement could or would lead to revolutions—like the scientific revolution or the American or French revolutions?
