    The Lost Colony of Roanoke Introduction Today, the story of Roanoke Island colony, famously known as the “lost colony” remains one of the fascinating stories in American history.

Ideally, the Roanoke case was the region that the English made the…

Another point of contrast for these poems is the speaker's tone. One is a young…
