There are going to be times when you look at your life and you think i don't know what to do, i'm stuck, there is no one that can me. and i experienced this when i was nineteen years old and a sophomore at harvard university. and i didn't know it at the time, but i was actually depressed. i should have gotten some counseling and probably some medication. because i kept thinking the most negative thoughts again and again and again. and i thought to myself, there's nobody that can me, this is just how life is, life stinks. and i was convinced there wasn't one person i could talk to on the planet that could make things better. when you're stuck in situations like that, where you feel the negativity, where you feel like you're stuck, where there are voices in your head that tell you nobody can me, that's your signal to go get some . that's when you go talk to a friend, talk to a counselor, talk to your parent. my biggest regret actually from college, from my four years of college, was that when i needed , i didn't ask for and i suffered for a year straight. based on this passage, what should mawi have done?

In just over one hundred years, between 1701 and 1810, 252,500 enslaved africans were brought to barbados—an island that occupies only 166 square miles (making it, today, one of the smallest countries in the world). the english then set out to conquer more sugar islands, starting with jamaica, which they took from spain in 1655. in the same period that the 252,500 africans were brought to barbados, 662,400 africans were taken to jamaica. thus, sugar drove more than 900,000 people into slavery, across the atlantic, to barbados and jamaica—and these were just two of the sugar islands. the english were eagerly filling antigua, nevis, saint kitts, and montserrat with slaves and sugar mills. they took over much of dutch guiana for the same reason. seeing the fortunes being made in sugar, the french started their own scramble to turn the half of the island of hispaniola that they controlled (which is now haiti), as well as martinique, guadeloupe, and french guiana (along the south american coast near dutch guiana), into their own sugar colonies, which were filled with hundreds of thousands more african slaves. by 1753, british ships were taking average of 34,250 slaves from africa every year, and by 1768, that number had reached 53,100. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? x(a) they use secondary sources to show how french and english monarchs were indifferent to enslaved people. x(b)they use secondary sources to show that enslaved people often fought for their freedom after arriving in the caribbean. the answer is: (c)they use facts from primary sources to show how countries increased the number of enslaved people to produce more sugar. x(d)they use primary source interviews to show that countries could make more money in trading sugar without using enslaved people.
