Plymouth Rock

I had the best lobster roll of my life. It was made of chopped, fresh lobster in between two toasted rolls, and had a delicious sauce on the top. I will never forget the taste of this delicious lobster roll. Of all the delicious food I have had while visiting The Cape, the lobster roll is by far my favorite. 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. It was basically just a broken rock no bigger than a school desk. But I still thought that it was amazing that this rock was the first thing the Pilgrims saw. Another memorable day. Two days before we left, my dad and I went on a bike ride. We rode for about ten miles before turning back and riding another ten. Lets just say that I got my workout for the day! The Cape has miles and miles of bike trails that run through wooded areas, along the ocean and everywhere in between. Someday, I would like to ride every…

However, they decided that they must again leave to another land. They feared that their children were losing their English identity. Some of the young people, falling into Dutch culture, forsook their families and became soldiers and sailors. Additionally, the Separatists were concerned that Holland and Spain would go to war against each other. Thus, a few, brave Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower, intending to sail to Virginia, but arrived at Plymouth in November of 1620. Because they arrived…

(Garcia-Martinez 83). Such disciplined lifestyles ensured the colony survived. Anne Bradstreet epitomizes the disciplined, self-sacrificial lifestyles of the early settlers. Initially a reluctant immigrant, Anne Bradstreet managed to raise her large family in the new land and even aid in the founding of three settlement towns (Bartlett 295). A hardworking wife, mother of eight, poet and budding historian, Bradstreet was able to thrive in all her roles due to an austere lifestyle and dogged…

I am a crew member with Sir Francis Drake. I am here because I was with him when he killed the Spanish Armada. I was with him from June to September, 1588. We were at the English Channel. He Killed them because they were going around killing random people. If he did not kill them then we would be dead because they would have gotten to us and killed our tribe. Sir Francis Drake did not just kill the Spanish, he was ordered to. When he was ordered to kill them he went out to find them to stop…

Sir Francis Drake is guilty of voluntary manslaughter. This comes in play with the Spanish Armada. Voluntary manslaughter is where you kill someone and plan doing it. Drake planned on killing the Spanish Armada because Queen Elizabeth told him they were preparing to kill her. The queen never said to kill them, she told Drake to stop them. She never threatened or forced him to do this act. The only orders the queen had were to return in six months. Drake sailed to England with his crew. One…

In 1588, off the coast of Grave-lines, France, Spain’s so-called “insuperable Armada” was defeated by the English soldiers under the command of Lord Charles Howard and Sir Francis Drake. Their main aim was to overthrow Queen Elizabeth1 of England and the Tudor establishment of Protestantism in England. After fighting for almost eight hours, a change in wind direction forced the Spanish to retreat from the battle and sailed toward the North Sea. The Spanish Armada had hoped to win the…

journey to the New World continue to inspire many. Even though Bradford was “encountered many times with cross winds, and met with many fierce storms” he was not spiritually shaken (Bradford “Plymouth”). The reason for Bradford being seemingly unshaken was due to the fact he wholeheartedly relied on the resilience God presented him with. Bradford claimed in the second paragraph of his narrative that despite the dangers and unfortunate events occurring at sea he “committed [himself and others] to…

They were on the search for religious freedom. Not the kind of religious freedom that meant everyone could believe in whatever they wanted. No, the Plymouth settlers did not want that at all. Infact when they went to the Netherlands first to escape the English 's corruption of the church, they were appalled at the behavior of the Dutch. People worshipping gods of nature? Ridiculous, or that 's how the Pilgrims saw it anyway. The strict Separatists could not allow their children to run amuck in…
