Puritans in Mary's colonial community read solely for the purpose of better understanding God's divine guidance and the teachings of the Bible. In Mary Rowlandson's narrative, her experience of captivity and redemption represents the Puritan doctrine that suffering and obedience will be rewarded with deliverance.

The Puritan community believed in God's covenant with humans, where humans are to follow the scriptures guidance obediently undergoing suffering in exchange for deliverance afterwards rewarding their compliance;

so Mary Rowlandson's experience of captivity and redemption after being held by Native Americans and later ransomed, fits the narrative as a suitable analogy for the Puritan society.

Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative describes her experience as a captive of the Native Americans during the King Philips War in 1676. Her diary accounts for her capture to her return, although written a few years post her release. Her capture spanned around 11 weeks and is recounted in twenty ‘removes’. Specifically, Rowlandson observes her experience in relation to God and the bible, her capture being expressed as a trial from God which she must endure with faith; only in doing so would she survive and remain a true Christian woman suitable for Puritan society. It is through this Christian perspective that she judges the Native Americans, creating an obvious bias against their culture.  Given this her narrative can be understood in terms of how she would wish to represent herself and her captivity to those readers, and so not wholly understood as a completely accurate account. Rowlandson was a respected woman within Puritan society and as such would be expected to represent all that was customary of fine Christian women. Therefore, any account of her capture which seemed contrary to conventional beliefs could risk her status and respectability. Toulouse argues that Rowlandson would be competing for status in the new social setting as a result of the war(1992:667). The motivation for publishing her account seems to have been to promote the puritan belief that God is the active agent who punishes and saves Christian believers (Scarbrough 2011:124). Hence, her freedom to voice her own opinion was greatly restricted by both social expectations and for the sake of endorsing the good of Christianity.

During the time spent disclosing to her story, Rowlandson uncovers much about Puritan culture and states of mind towards ladies and Native Americans; comparably, she gives data about Native American culture, however regularly without acknowledging or even obviously understanding it. Rowlandson's personal record of her internment set up the model for ensuing imprisonment accounts, and her accentuation on her part as mother laid the foundation for later ladies' written work, including some African American slave stories.

Answer: B. the uncontrollable power of nature.

In this passage, we can see how powerful the colossal Moby-Dick is, and how frail and insignificant humans appear to be by comparison. When Ahab wants to fight with the whale, he is completely helpless and is easily defeated and injured. The power of the whale is a symbol that represents the incontrollable power of nature.

Answer:

Louis Daguerre's motivation to begin experimenting with light sensitive materials was so that he and others would be able to capture an image from a still moment in time

Step-by-step explanation:

Early photography and Daguerreotype Medium.

Louis Daguerre invented a new process he dubbed a daguerrotype in 1839, which significantly reduced exposure time and created a lasting result, but only produced a single image.

Louis Daguerre called his invention "daguerreotype." His method, which he disclosed to the public late in the summer of 1839, consisted of treating silver-plated copper sheets with iodine to make them sensitive to light, then exposing them in a camera and "developing" the images with warm mercury vapor.

Daguerreotypes became an equalizer among classes. No longer were likenesses only created for the super rich. An average person could walk into a portrait studio, sit for an image, and have the same product as the millionaire down the street. The popularity gave rise to picture factories

Views of modernity and capitalism heavily influenced Daguerre’s discovery because his main goal was to improve and modernize the process previously used to capture images and to upgrade what he saw using camera obscura.

People could start to develop a visual history, not only the rich could afford to have a portrait made, and people could collect images of their friends and family.

California is generally a good place to stay in. It is the best place for immigrants who seek to find a living for themselves. That’s what the poster would help to do, attract more immigrants to the place.

The correct answer is: simile

Through this text, we can see that the phrase "It is as if a great earthen pot has dropped from an unreachable rafter'' represents a comparison with the doubts that the narrator presents. This comparison is made through two elements that have nothing in common, but that the author uses to create a new meaning about one of them. This is done through simile.
