AE AmLit Per 2


Puritans
John Smith and William Bradford

Do Review and Assess questions 1 – 7 in textbook, p85 and answer the following questions;

1. Why did the Native Americans first treat the Pilgrims with disdain?
2. Like all pilgrims, Bradford had a providential view of occurrences. (He believed that God determined everything
that happened) Find two examples from the selection in which Bradford states his belief that God is directing the fate of the Pilgrims.
3. Look over the treaty agreement carefully.  Does it favor one group over another? Explain.
4. Contrast the Puritan’s treatment of each other through illness with the sailor’s treatment of each other.
5. How did the sailors react to the kindness and pity shown to them in their illness from the Puritans?  What does this act of kindness tell you about the Pilgrims?

1 comment:

  1. 1. To the natives, the pilgrims were white aliens tresspassing on their territory.

    2. Bradford keeps saying that God is determining what is occuring and God wanted the pilgrims to leave Europe.

    3. No, because what they agreed on worked for both the puritans and Native Americans.

    4. The Puritans are kinder to eachother compared to the sailors, whom are "hardcore"

    5. The sailors are shocked as to how nuturing the puritans really were and were beyond thankful because they were nursed back to health. The pilgrims are very religious and gentle people that are open to all people.
