Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince.
There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans.
The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing
there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The
Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and
Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They
wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it
free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to
hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in
the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain
them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who
becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and
does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for
in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its
ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time
nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever
you may do or provide against, they never forget that
name or their privileges unless they are disunited or

by Jonathan Swift
it would not be proper, for some reasons, to trouble the reader with the particulars of our adventures in those seas. Let it suffice to inform him, that,
In our passage from thence to the East Indies, we were driven by a violent storm, to the northwest of Van Diemen's Land....
On the fifth of November, which was the beginning of summer in those parts, the weather being very hazy, the seamen spled a rock within half a
cable's length of the ship; but the wind was so strong, that we were driven directly upon it, and Immediately split. Six of the crew, of whom I was one,
having let down the boat Into the sea, made a shift to get clear of the ship and the rock We rowed, by my computation, about three leagues, till we
were able to work no longer, being already spent with labor, while we were in the ship. We, therefore, trusted ourselves to the mercy of the waves;
and, in about half an hour, the boat was overset by a sudden flurry from the north. What became of my companions in the boat, as well as those who
escaped on the rock, or were left in the vessel, I cannot tell, but conclude they were all lost.
For my own part, I swam as fortune directed me, and was pushed forward by wind and tide. I often let my legs drop, and could feel no bottom; but,
when I was almost gone, and able to struggle no longer, I found myself within my depth; and, by this time, the storm was much abated.

Read the excerpt from The Metamorphoses by Ovid.

[Deucalion] soothes [Pyrrha] with these gentle words, and says, ". . . The oracles are just, and advise no sacrilege. The earth is the great mother; I suspect that the stones in the body of the earth are the bones meant; these we are ordered to throw behind our backs.” Although she, descended from Titan, is moved by this interpretation of her husband, still her hope is involved in doubt; so much do they both distrust the advice of heaven; but what harm will it do to try?”

Read the excerpt from the adaptation "The Flood” by James Baldwin.

"What did he mean?” asked Pyrrha.

"Surely I do not know,” said Deucalion. "But let us think a moment. Who is our mother, if it is not the Earth, from whom all living things have sprung? And yet what could he mean by the bones of our mother?”

"Perhaps he meant the stones of the earth,” said Pyrrha. "Let us go on down the mountain, and as we go, let us pick up the stones in our path and throw them over our shoulders behind us.”

"It is rather a silly thing to do,” said Deucalion; "and yet there can be no harm in it, and we shall see what will happen.”

How does the adaptation differ from the original?

In Ovid’s original, the tone is playful, while in Baldwin’s adaptation, the tone is confident.
In Baldwin’s adaptation, the tone is lighthearted, while in Ovid’s original, the tone is serious.
In Ovid’s original, the characters have more respect for the deity, while in Baldwin’s adaptation, the characters are rude to the deities.
In Baldwin’s adaptation, the characters are unsure of the advice, while in Ovid’s original, characters follow the advice without question.

Read the passage from chapter 8 of The Prince.

Agathocles, the Sicilian, became King of Syracuse not only from a private but from a low and abject position. This man, the son of a potter, through all the changes in his fortunes always led an infamous life. Nevertheless, he accompanied his infamies with so much ability of mind and body that, having devoted himself to the military profession, he rose through its ranks to be Praetor of Syracuse. Being established in that position, and having deliberately resolved to make himself prince and to seize by violence, without obligation to others, that which had been conceded to him by assent, he came to an understanding for this purpose with Amilcar, the Carthaginian, who, with his army, was fighting in Sicily. One morning he assembled the people and the senate of Syracuse, as if he had to discuss with them things relating to the Republic, and at a given signal the soldiers killed all the senators and the richest of the people; these dead, he seized and held the princedom of that city without any civil commotion. . . .
