What were the two most common reasons that colonies were founded?

The 2 main reasons were economic and religious reasons

Economic because the British wanted to expand their kingdom into new lands. It would also make the British more wealthy but that is not what happens because the colonists gain their independence. It was also an oppurtunity for new businesses and jobs

Religious because many people were discriminated against due to their religion. So they made the pilgrimage to the U.S and we know them as pilgrims.

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
