2. Explain at least TWO reasons (from page 8) that the colonists are travelling to the new world.

Answer explanation

"King James has granted a charter to the Virginia Company of London to send men to the New World, to Virginia. The men will explore for gold, silver, and jewels, and for a new passage to the Orient, and they'll cut down New World trees to send back to England to build English houses- all to make a big profit for the investors of the Virginia Company. But the real importance, Reverend Hunt says, is to bring the good news of Christ to the native people who live in Virginia. He says we'll also look for survivors from the Roanoke colony, the settlers who went to Virginia with Sir Walter Raleigh over twenty years ago. That is why Reverend Hunt wants to go. But I want to go for the gold. They say it washes up on shore with every tide" (Carbone, 8).
