The differences are way more numerous that the similarities and in this part of the essay we are going to present just that.

Even with the nightmares happening around her, Rowlandson is able to avoid the horrific fates others undergo by staying focused on her religion and God’s work. She describes an encounter with a fellow captive, saying that one poor woman “came to a sad end, as some of the company told me in my travel: She having much grief upon her Spirit, about her miserable condition, being so near her time, she would be often asking the Indians to let her go home” (77). Ultimately, the Indians, being annoyed by her constant begging and pleas, decide to burn both this woman and her small child alive. However, unlike that unlucky woman, Rowlandson survives because, instead of pleading to her captors, she takes her pleas to God and turns toward her religion, which keeps her mind healthy and positive throughout her tribulations. She is mentally tough due to her focus on positive religious messages, making her able to handle her situation well and ultimately leading to her survival.

Our man was born in Litchfield, Connecticut on January 21, 1738. He was the first child of five brothers and two sisters, taken care of by his loving parents; Joseph and Mary Baker Allen. Ethan married Mary Brownson in 1762, having 5 children. After Mary died, he remarried a girl called Fanny and had 3 more children. If you’re keeping count, that’s 8 children. Joseph, Allen’s father had intended Allen to go to Yale University, but his death changed that plan. Instead, Ethan took over the family landholdings. During the war, he led the Green Mountain Boys to capture Fort Ticonderoga from the British in 1775. If I were in his shoes, I would’ve probably done things a little differently.

Throughout the semester we have discussed a few captivity narratives such as: John Smith, Mary Rowlandson, and Cotton Mather. From a personal standpoint, Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative was one of the best selections we have read in class thus far.

Throughout the short story, a Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mary Rowlandson, it describes the eleven weeks, approximately around eighty two days, were Rowlandson was held captive. Rowlandson demonstrates how strong her faith is throughout the entire time she was gone away from her family, losing her daughter Sarah and the problems she and the other captives had to face during that amount of time.
