stories, “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan, “Of Plymouth Plantation” by William Bradford, and “My mom, a Mexican Immigrant, Taught Me to Love America” by Cristela Alonzo all touch on the difficulties and progress three very different groups of immigrants went through. Each of these took place in different times and had their own trials, but found that they could bring good things to these new places, in their own way. In the story, “Mother Tongue,” Amy Tan…

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,…

Mary Rowlandson and her use of David’s Psalms When the Puritans arrived in New England, they saw themselves confronted with a wilderness in which they wanted to found their “New Jerusalem”.

It is not surprisingly then, that these Psalms appeared in the first book printed in America, the Bay Psalm Book of 1640. David’s Psalms appeared to be of particular importance to one Puritan…

Another day at The Cape had come to an end. I actually enjoy going to bed at The Cape, because it means another great day will be waiting for me when I wake up. Going to the beach is basically what we did every day, until we decided to visit Plymouth Rock. Our whole family was really excited to see where the Pilgrims landed, but it was really anti-climatic.

Bradford and Equiano have narratives with differing tone, audience, and purpose. However, both narratives align in experiences and values. Horrific circumstances and the value of human life are expressed in Bradford’s "of Plymouth Plantation" and Equiano’s "An Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano.” First, both narrators endure horrific circumstances in essentially the same situations. The ships are stricken with sickness and conditions, whether it be nature or people causing it.…

In the late 1400s, when Christopher Columbus stumbled across North America, the world was altered. Many countries established colonies, but the only ones that stuck were the English colonies.

Although New England and the Chesapeake region were both settled largely by people of English origin, their reasons for settling, their government structures, and their…

Most people are taught that the natives were treated friendly when the Europeans came to explore, this is not the case. Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford and The General History of Virginia by John Smith are novels of settlers and native relations. In both John Smith and William Bradford's texts, the men show themselves as heroes and the natives as lesser by denigrating their language, tricking them with contracts, and, having negative expectations. The Pilgrims, like the settlers at…
