Ladies and gentleman, speaking on the behalf of the Patriots organization, it is my pleasure to introduce to you a player who will go down in history as one of the best in his lifetime, Logan Mankins. Patriots fans have been fortunate to watch #70 play eight years within this organization, playing well over 100 games within that time. Unfortunately, Logan was not able to finish out his career with this team; however, we feel it is a fitting end to his professional football career to induct him into the Patriots Hall of Fame, forever setting him within this Patriots team as well as family.

Jamestown and Plymouth Plantation are just like any other city now, they are different in many ways but still are similar in ways. Plymouth Plantation had a leader, Bradford, he was very strong and knew what he was doing because of his experiences it didn't “crash and burn”. Unlike Jamestown's leader, Smith, he was a strong leader at first and he knew what he was doing but then he left and Jamestown went bad. Both of them were sent to go explore the new land and see what is in it. When going through it there were always obstacles, but they managed to overcome it and continue with their voyage.

The most devastating war between the colonists and Indians took place in New England in 1676 and ended in 1676. Metacomet, also known as King Philip, was the son of Chief Massasoit, who was a principal leader of the Wampanoag in the early 1600’s; a tribe in North America that existed in America long before the Europeans arrived. He is also known as Metacom, Metacomet or Pometacom, names that he was given by the Wampanoag tribe.

Chapter five discussed the positions of the men and women in families. White did well in explaining the interactions between each gender on the plantations. Some men yearned for the attention and affection of women, often going to ridiculous lengths to win their favor. Other men sought no romance with a woman because their focus was to gain freedom, and love could hinder that. Women wanted the affection of men as well, but unlike the white female counterpart, female slaves were more independent. They did not need to rely on a spouse to raise a child or to survive. In fact, the families were egalitarian. The woman did just as much to contribute to the family as the men. The problems that often kept some slaves alone was fear of having a future

“You never know what a person has gone through until you have walked in there shoes” (Anonymous). This quote relates to how the colonists suffered and went through a quantity of situations, but still managed to survive. During the years 1620s and 1650s, colonists were making their way to the New Land in America because they wanted to obtain freedom from religion. In order for that to happen, the pilgrims had to organize the Mayflower Compact. They arrived in 1620 in both Virginia and Massachusetts.

Imagine sailing across the Atlantic Ocean to a new world, a place that a person has only ever heard about and all of it’s great opportunities. Now imagine sailing the same ocean, only to be unsure if your life will be worsened or not. Bradford’s detailed narrative of “Of Plymouth Plantation” and Olaudah Equiano’s autobiography of his experiences as a slave in “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano” are both oddly similar, but extremely different. In this essay, I will be viewing the similarities and differences between these two narratives with the topics of their coming to America story and their writing style and purpose.

Throughout William Bradford’s “Of Plymouth Plantation”, his attachment to his religion was very strong and very verbally shown throughout his work. Bradford was between the age of twelve and thirteen when he had first heard his first sermon by a minister named Richard Clyfton and he later joined with Clyfton in the year 1606. Bradford begins with “…some godly and zealous preachers, and God’s blessings on their labors…” God is already being praised in the first few sentences of this work to bless the labor of their works and throughout the land. The goal of this paper is to bring into light three different sections throughout the work, where Bradford uses his religion to prove a point and to show how his religious faith is freely expressed by leaving England.

Have you ever read a very important document from the 1600s, probably not by yourself anyways. Well when you read them you realize that they are very interesting pieces of writing, if you can understand them. For example, “Of Plymouth Plantation” is a piece of writing that shows how people came to new land. The “Of Plymouth Plantation” is a very engaging piece of writing because it states what they believed, how they survived but, it is also very boring because poor word choice, and the runon-sentences.

America’s main influence from history has been from a religious standpoint. Common religious beliefs have been ingrained into our government bodies and even into our every day culture and tendencies. Religion has made a major impact on American lively hood since the early days of settlement. Due to Americas strong religious ties, religion has been ingrained in our literature, influencing and directing our culture. The writers Jonathan Edwards and William Bradford have had a major influence on American culture through literature in their writings, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and Of Plymouth Plantation.

The English had two main colonies in the new world, Jamestown and Plymouth. The first colony was Jamestown, established in Virginia in 1607. Jamestown was settled by Captain John Smith, and was named after King James I. Tobacco was the main export of Jamestown, and became the basis of the Jamestown economy, sending more than 50,000 lbs of the plan back to Europe by 1618 (textbook 46). Jamestown had a very rocky start, many colonists dying in the first few years of the settlement, and the settlers had many problems with natives. Shortly after the arrival of English colonists the Natives attacked them, and were finally forced back by a canon from the English. A very uneasy truce was finally settled between the natives, called the Powhatans,

In Of Plymouth Plantation, William Bradford writes of multiple acts of God’s divine providence acting on the Pilgrims during their journey to Virginia and the subsequent founding of Plymouth Plantation. Bradford’s portrayal of events he labels providence, such as the death of the lusty seaman, the finding of the corn seeds by the exploring party, and the repulse of the Native American attack, shows his belief that God acted through natural events and reveals aspects of Puritan theology and thinking.

William Bradford’s writing displays his Puritan faith by including many of their ideals throughout Of Plymouth Plantation. Bradford’s beliefs give his writing a simple and unembellished style, like that of Puritan dress. Furthermore, He demonstrates his faith by including the Puritan concept of election. Foremost, Bradford displays his faith by incorporating providence into his writing. For example, he infers that their trip across the Atlantic ended safely only through God’s intervention. Throughout Of Plymouth Plantation, William Bradford exhibits these aspects of his Puritan faith and lifestyle through his simplistic writing style.
