Short-response prompt (15 points)
read the following passage from chapter 16 of the life and adventures of robinson crusoe, in which
crusoe reflects on his relationship to the island and its inhabitants:
my island was now peopled, and i thought myself very rich in subjects; and it was a
merry reflection, which i frequently made, how like a king i looked. first of all, the
whole country was my own property, so that i had an undoubted right of dominion.
secondly, my people were perfectly subjected - i was absolutely lord and lawgiver-
they allowed their lives to me, and were ready to lay down their lives, if there had
been occasion for it, for me. it was remarkable, too, i had but three subjects, and
they were of three different religions-my man friday was a protestant, his father
was a pagan and a cannibal, and the spaniard was a papist. however, i allowed
liberty of conscience throughout my dominions.
explain defoe's point of view on colonialism in the passage. then analyze how the scene could be
interpreted as satire to express that point of view. be sure to use specific details from the passage in
your response.

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
