(4 pts. each)  1. Lastly, a sacred rainbow was placed around Dine bikeyah, our homeland, for protection and as a blessing and a reminder of the sacredness of this land. It is said that so long as the Dine remain within this boundary, we will have the blessings and protection of the Holy People. So long as we remain within these boundaries we will be living in the manner that the Holy People prescribed for us.. . . The last words uttered from the bad mind were, that he would have equal power over the souls of mankind after death; and he sinks down to eternal doom, and became the Evil Spirit.   2. At Watertown there was a great combat between a mouse and a snake, and after a long fight the mouse prevailed and killed the snake. The pastor of Boston . . .gave this interpretation: that the snake was the devil, the mouse was the poor contemptible people which God had brought hither which should overcome Satan and dispossess him of his kingdom.   3. But such of the passengers as were yet aboard showed them what mercy they could, which made some of their hearts relent, as the boatswain who was a proud young man and would often curse and scoff at the passengers. But when he grew weak, they had compassion on him and helped him; then he confessed he did not deserve it at their hands, he had abused them in word and deed . . .   4.         ‘Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,             Taught my benighted soul to understand             That there’s a God, that there’s a savior too:             Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.   5.         I am obnoxious to each carping tongue             Who says my hand a needle better fits,             A poet’s pen all scorn I should thus wrong,             For such despite they cast on female wits:             If what I do prove well, it won’t advance             They’ll say it’s stol’n, or else it was by chance.    6. About two hour in the night, my sweet Babe like a Lamb departed this life, on Feb. 18, 1675. It being about six years, and five months old. It was nine days from its first wounding in this miserable condition, without any refreshing of one nature or other except a little cold water . . .I must and could lie down by my dead babe, side by side all night after. I have thought since of the wonderful goodness of God to me, in preserving me in the use of my reason and senses, in that distressed time, that I did not use wicked and violent means to end my own miserable life.   7. It was about this time that I conceiv’d the bold and arduous Project of arriving at moral Perfection. I wish’d to live without committing any Fault at anytime; I would conquer all that Natural Inclination, Custom, or Company might lead me into. As I knew, or thought I knew, what was right and wrong, I did not see why I might not always do the one and avoid the other. But I soon found I had undertaken a Task of more Difficulty than I had imagined; While my care was employ’d in guarding against one Fault, I was often surprised by another.   8. My master then said he would not be worse than his promise; and, taking my money, told me to go to the Secretary at the Register Office, and get my manumission drawn up. These words of my master were like a voice from Heaven to me. In an instant all my trepidation was turned into untroubled bliss; and I most reverently bowed myself with gratitude, unable to express my feelings, but by the overflowing of my eyes, and a heart replete with thanks to God, while my true and worthy friend the captain. congratulated us both with a peculiar degree of heartfelt pleasure.   9.   Who would your wealth on terms, like these, possess,       Where all we see is pregnant with distress—       Angola’s natives scourged by ruffian hands,       And toil’s hard product shipp’d to foreign lands.
