1) In Johnson's (2012) readings, we learn that St. Patrick was known for 'driving out all of the snakes' from the island. In Foster and Derlet(2013) we learn about the significance of snakes and snake symbols for indigenous Western Europeans. Explain a.) the symbol significance and b.) the link between Christian leadership driving out 'snakes' and using force to drive out indigenous practices. Be specific and reference a specific example.

- When comparing the end of Foster and Derlet’s (2013) book and the start of Barstow’s (1995) book, consider the ways that Western European local and international laws (i.e. colonial practices) during the 1500s-1700s impacted women and the poor in Europe and women and the poor around the world (where colonizing was taking place). Be specific and give at least one example from the readings. (No quotes allowed.)
