    While her faith keeps her strong in her moments of strife, it also keeps her from becoming her own savior and taking action. Puritan women such as Mary were conditioned to believe that if they sat quietly and patiently, God would make everything okay by sending someone to rescue them, just as Mary was eventually ransomed back to her husband. Women were taught never to fight back against a man, even a savage one. They were only encouraged to resist losing one’s conviction and civilized nature With the proper preparation and a more independent will, Mary very well could have been her own hero by fighting back against her Native captors and possibly fleeing to safety. Faith and hope are never bad things to keep hold of during adversity, but Rowlandson was undeniably lucky in that her patience in the Lord worked conveniently in her favor whereas too many other women in her same position found themselves murdered before God could send help their way.…

    The autobiographies of Rowlandson and Franklin talk about how these Americans lived their lives in the middle ages, and even had their rights infringed upon. The autobiographies of these two great people bring to board how they were kept captive, their life experiences, and how they were set free from their captivity. In their quest for freedom, there were a lot of difficulties and afflictions they had to overcome. All these inspired the authors to put together everything they went through and published for people to know much of their lives before and after they were in captivity.…

    However, as Cabeza De Vaca wrote about the Native’s peacefulness, Mary Rowlandson wrote the opposite. Rowlandson was just a simple minister’s wife when she was taken captive and separated from her family, giving her unique perspective on the situation because she was just a simple colonist. “Thus these murderous wretches went on, burning and destroying before them.” Rowlandson got to see the Natives destroy her home and massacre many civilians, not caring if they killed the innocent. “…

    Deborah Dietrich argues that Mary Rowlandson’s life in captivity causes a great transformation in Rowlandson’s life from a confined, dependent woman to a self-reliant one. Dietrich states there are textual places and narrative moments in Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narratives that proves how Rowlandson begins to question the Puritan’s ideology against her own self-definition. Rowlandson’s captivity narrative not only serves a testimony of her strength to survive as a woman, but also serves as woman’s voice American literature during this time. Dietrich conveys a detail account of how Mary Rowlandson’s transformation begins as a powerful independent woman. Early in her narrative, Rowlandson distinguishes herself from two fellow captives:…

If she does not comply then she would be punished. For example, Mary was beaten for refusing to give a piece of her apron to a maid that asked for it. Her mistress forced her to give it up by hitting her with a stick that could have killed her.…

    Mary Rowlandson defined herself as a “civilized” Christian compared to the Native Americans, depending on her Bible to get her through the trial she was in. In contrast, Increase Mather used the supernatural in order to reaffirm his beliefs. While they both used two different ways to cope with their unique situation, Rowlandson and Mather found a way to reaffirm their faith. In Illustrious Providences, Mather provides evidence of the supernatural world by documenting accounts of the devil at work. While furthering Mather’s own belief in this realm, he also reiterates his faith in God by saying, “in this essay, I design no more than a Specimen ; And hav-ing (by the good hand of God upon me) set this Wheel a going, I shall leave it unto others,…

    Mary Rowlandson had no choice but to adapt to the conditions of her captivity and the hard conditions of living in the wilderness. She had no prior knowledge or experience of this type of living as she explains “I was not before acquainted with such kind of doings or dangers” (494). One of Rowlandson’s first adaptions to her captivity was her eating habits, her first three weeks of captivity she barely ate a thing. She referred to the Native Americans food as “filthy trash” at first, nonetheless by the third week of her captivity she had adapted her stance of their food as “sweet and savory to my taste”. Rowlandson had to try and adapt to another culture that she viewed as completely barbarous, while trying to maintain herself as “civilized”.…

The narrative that was randomly selected was the narrative of Mary Reynolds. Mary Reynold is a former enslaved African from Dallas, Texas. She was enslaved on a plantation in Black River, Louisiana by the Kilpatrick family.…

    Food and clothes were readily available along with the comforts of life. In Mary Rowlandson’s A Narrative of the Captivity and restoration, she described the Indians attack her town of Lancaster, Massachusetts 1665.

    Captivity in Different Eras At first glance, one might assume that an author publishing her works in 1682 would have no realistic chance of sharing a common message as a man publishing his story one hundred and seventy-three years later in 1855. However, captivity narratives have been popular topics throughout history which enjoyed a wide readership. Despite their separation in in the gulf of time, Mary Rowlandson and Herman Melville shared similar experiences in witnessing captivity at the hands of two cultures and the violence that came with these experiences. While the New World offered an abundance of social and financial potential, it simultaneously fostered the negative aspects of human nature.…

    Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative is made up of a hue of different voices that she uses to portray separate messages about what’s happening, what she thinks about it, and how she feels. Therefore, her captivity narrative has a varying effect on different readers. For instance, some readers may believe that Rowlandson has a very cohesive thought process throughout the whole of her captivity, because she uses these varying voices to prove one overarching theme to the reader: God provided the circumstances which gave her the ability to survive the captivity. However, other readers see several contradictions or discrepancies in the way she writes, because of the different voices she uses. For example, Rowlandson leads the reader in one direction for a passage, then she flips her writing to reflect the opposite idea.…

    Hello Destiny, I enjoyed your post and your descriptions of the various authors and their writings. In my post I chose to compare and contrast Mary Rowlandson, John Smith, St. John de Crevecoeur and avoided William Bradford because like you I found his writing difficult to follow. I found Mary’s story interesting as well, her descriptions about her capture and imprisonment were vivid and striking in their straightforwardness. She leaves little doubt about her thoughts and feelings about the "merciless heathens" (Rowlandson, 74-75) who abducted her.…
