Pilgrim

Caroline Zide The Pilgrims arrived in the New World in September of the year 1620. They fled England because they were being severely persecuted for their religion, and they wanted to be free to practice as they pleased. After 70 or so tedious days at sea, they arrived in Cape Cod, a little bit north of their original target, which was a small town in Virginia. Despite the rocky start, the Pilgrims were very successful in making a life for themselves. The Pilgrims were able to thrive in the new…

books as I walk, feeling the smooth spines until I hit my mark. I catch sight of a small plain book titled, “The Pilgrims Progress” by John Bunyan. A sad hunched over man carrying a huge bag on his shoulders fills the cover. What kind of adventure is this? Why is he depressed? Intrigued, I take the book home and fully engross myself into the exciting journey of Christian, the pilgrim who I see play out much of my own weaknesses and strengths in his perilous travels. The story of Christian is…

Do you know how Thanksgiving started? Thanksgiving started in the fall of 1621 Squanto brought the settlers and the Indians together to celebrate the first Thanksgiving after growing a successful crop. Squanto was an Indian who helped the Plymouth settlers. Plymouth was established in 1620.Another colony was established named Jamestown in 1607. Although there are many differences between the two colonies the things they have in common are, had leaders for their colony, faced hardships, and both…

After slamming the GOP tax cuts and doubling down on calling bonuses to hard-working Americans "crumbs," a patriot stunned Nancy Pelosi with just six words. During a town hall event Tuesday in Phoenix, Arizona, a heckler asked the House Minority Leader, "How much are you worth, Nancy?" The remark was in response to Pelosi rambling about how the GOP tax cuts allowing Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money was pathetic and unpatriotic. “These are kitchen table issues for America’s…

writer of the Divine comedy, and Dante, the pilgrim and protagonist of the work. The acknowledge of the separation of these entities is necessary because things that are true of one of the personas is not always true of the other two and vice versa. Specifically, the Pilgrim is created by the writer and used as an archetypical everyman…

The pilgrims arrived on Plymouth and set up land on the Indians territory. The Indians were essential to the Pilgrims survival. The picture supports Our Republic because the Indians taught the pilgrims everything they knew, and the pilgrims did not have their colony together until years after they had arrived, and the picture does not portray that. The picture makes people believe the pilgrims put the first Thanksgiving together. The Indians are the ones who taught the pilgrims how to hunt,…

Colony Pilgrims had to face. I believe that the Plymouth Colony faced many hardships during their attempt to create a new colony. The three main challenges that the Pilgrims faced were the unpleasant conditions during their voyage, arriving at Cape Cod instead of their original destination, Virginia, and having to work in the harsh winter weather. All in all, the Plymouth Colony faced many challenges, but they still remained strong through these times. One reason why I think the Pilgrims in…

For my project I made a menu to explain the types of foods the Pilgrims ate everyday. Pilgrims ate three meals a day which included breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lunch was the biggest meal of the day and breakfast was normally the smallest. For many years the Pilgrims lacked the materials to make certain foods which included desserts, however, they were able to make pumpkin pie by filling the inside with milk, honey, and spices. The first colonists definitely had to improvise by using the…

new land the Pilgrims did go, but it wouldn’t be as easy or comfortable as they had hoped or even imagined, rather it was a hard journey for all. However, once the difficulty of the trip had passed, they started anew and made acquaintances that would later become valued friends. The faith of the Pilgrims was strong, despite harsh conditions on a voyage or the perils and struggles of everyday life, their belief in God was their fragment of hope and was what kept them going. Pilgrims believed that…
