a. Elizabeth's letter directly reflects what a person could be thinking or living through within the colonies, like Barbados, which, of many colonies, took part in slavery during the 1700s. Her speaking points reflect the use of "Black Codes", limiting areas and confrontations between colonists and Africans.

b. Elizabeth's thinking and complaints towards enslaved Africans referred to them as nuisances in Barbados. The reasoning for this is, Barbados was her ideal picture of wealth and status. In turn, this correlates with the use of "Black Codes" that restrict African Americans from certain liberties as a means of control. c. Her feeling of disdain for Africans being in her ideal environment showcases the clear social separation that people in authority have made through such laws as "Black Codes". This likely was influenced through the desire to bring Europeans to the colonies, with the systemic place of racism being the formed norm in the 1700s, it's likely they catered to the empowerment and comfort of those racist speaking points.
