In the beginning of the story, Bradford's tone is more mysterious because he doesn't know much about the Indians. He says that "when any approached near them, they would run away" (32). Eventually the crew meet the Indians and the first one they meet became "profitable to them in acquainting them with many things concerning the state of the country in the east parts" (32). The Natives and the crew make a peace treaty that states they will help each other. The Indians and the Europeans have a 3 day feast known as Thanksgiving. At the end of the story, Bradford's tone with the Indians is much more friendly than it was in the beginning.
I think that Bradfords is ok with the Native Americans. They show everyone how to do stuff to survive. All though they do steal there supplies. "that the barbarians showed them no small kindness in refreshing them, but these savage barbains." (pg. 31) He refers to them as barbains. It might seem he sees lesser of them.
When he first realizes that the Native Americans were the people there, he judges them. He calls them "savages and barbarians". At first, he thinks they don't know anything about the world or how it came about, but then realized his assumptions were wrong. He seems kind of stand offish, but then his tone changes to where he can connect with the Native Americans and learn how they live. They make up a treaty and learn to survive together. This eventually leads to the first Thanksgiving.
Bradfords tone towards the Native Americans was that he thought they were salvage barbarians, when they first arrived. But then after they all started teaching each culture things they became friendly. and thought different.
Throughout the story Bradford's tone towards the Native Americans was slightly negative. He belived they were a threat. For example, Bradford says, " All this while the Indians came skulking about them, and would sometimes sshow themselves aloof off, but when approached near them, they would run away. _jon
His tone towards the native americans was very nice and had respect for them. When he first got to land in cape cod the native americans greeted them very nicely. At that time they were having a fiest of thanksgiving foods and offered them if bradford wanted somthing to eat. After they offered food to everyone bradford had alot more respect for them. " The lordly and tyrnoues power of the prelates ought not to be submitted unto "

The author see's the indians as a barbaric group of people as he first meet them. This is so because "..Once they stole away thier tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner." (32) But later then the reading when they actually meet them, he sees them as a kind and much more civilized group of people. As they "directed them how to set their corn..take fish...procure other commodities." (33). He also was suprised and when "a certain Indian came boldly amongst them and spoke to them in broken English" (32) This opened up a friendship that would lead to the surviving of the Puritains.
During the story Bradford's tone was thankfull. After the indians came out to talk they made a treaty. They had the first thanksgiving together. They made history that we still do today. They had a good relationship together and showed eachother different things. "After some time of enteretainment and gifts dismissed." Anthony rullo
Bradfords tone is actually monotone. He doesn't really have a tone to me because he is using simple sentences. Nonetheless, I think that he is a bit happy about the indians showing up. He starts by making a treaty with them and ends up inviting them for a feast. Bradford said the indians "directed them how to set their corn, where to take fish, and to procure other commodities, and was also their pilot to bring them to unknown places for their profit, and never left them till he died". He was referring to Squanto who was the helper that knew English. Although until Bradford talked to any of the Indians they referred to them as savages. All of the settlers didn't know what to to if they attacked them.
Bradford liked the Native Americans. They exchanged gifts and entertained each other. A native named Squanto who had been in England could speak better english then himself. The natives also made a peace with Bradford. The terms of the peace were fair to both sides there were no reasons why Bradford would have complained. "..Squanto continued with them and was their interpreter and was a special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation"(33).
Bradford mentions the Native Americans throughout the selection. His tone is changing as the story goes on. At first he has negative conotaion towards the indians for example " All the while the indians came skulking about them, and would sometimes show themselves aloof off, but when any approached mear them, they would run away"(32). After the Terms were formed he trusted them a little more. Plus after the Treaty the Puritains were able to have weapons and the indians were not able to have any.
His tone is one of open dislike. He doesn't seem to like the indians that much, nor does he try to hide hide dislike. One sentence in the passage shows that he thinks lowly of them: "All this while the Indians came skulking about them, and would sometimes show themselves aloof off." He uses 'skulking', instead of a nicer term. This helps prove that his tome shows dislike for the indians.
In the story, Bradford mentions the Native American several times. When referring to the Native Americans Bradford kind of used a pitiful and superior tone. Bradford explains them as poor people, and talks down about them like they aren't human beings. Bradford continuously calls them "savage barbarians" in a unkind way. "But here I cannot but say and make a pause, and stand half amazed at this poor people's present condition; (31)"
Bradfords mentions the Native Americans throughout the selection. I think his tone is accepting. He doesn't seem to be angry the Indians are there. Bradford states, "But about the 16th of March, a certain Indian came boldly amongst them and spoke to them in broken English, which they could well understand but marveled at it." He makes the Indians sound brave by using the word bold and intelligent by raving about their English. When Bradford brings up the treaty he doesn't have any negative comments about it. He along with all of the other Purtians seem to be very accepting of the Puritans. They seem happy to have their help.
Bradford's tone is might not like the Indians. He says also "if they die, let them die." It seems he doesnt like them. They will eventually get along. They have a treaty with the indians. They also have Thanksgiving together.
Even though he mentions the Native Americans throughout the selection, his tone is very conserved and you have to read for the certain describing words for them. The plain style of writing conflicts with what we are used to working with. Where when we have to find someones feelings we look in the text and find it written out. Bradford does not describe the indians directly, he describes their actions. How he describes their actions is what reveals his dislike toward the indians. He describes them as "...sulking..." and "barbarous". Which shows his dislike toward them.
Williams attitude toward the native americans is different in the begining and at the end. In the beginning bradford says "they once stole away all of our tools where they had been at work and and were gone to dinner" which to me indicates that they wers too happy about it. But toward the end bradford says "which made many afterward write so largely of their plenty here to their friends in England, which were not feigned but true reports" which meant that no one knows the real date of the first Thanksgiving but Pilgrims and Native Americans still put aside their differences and helped each other.
His tone throughout the selection about the Native American were that they were like a salvage barbian type of people. Because he was not used to seeing people live that way. He thought their ways were not good. Because of how he lived they thought that was the only way to live. But towards the end the Natives and Puritans began a treaty. And the the cultures came together. But the Puritans made sure if there treaty tore, they still could defeat them. "We all can learn from ones skills".
Bradford's tone is very simple and monotinous. He cleary states the facts of the voyage with no emotions towards death's or any sort of loss. "We lost more than 50 percent of our men in January and February." Purtitans show no emotion in their writing because they believe everything happens on account to God's will. Due to their beliefs it prevents them from showing sympathy
Bradford mentions the Native Americans several times throughout the selection. I believe his tone is accepting. The reason for this is because he doesn't talk bad about the Native Americans at all. Every time he talks about them it seems as he is complementing them. Bradford also calls the Native Americans some what smart by bringing up that they can speak some English. Furthermore he seems to accept and believe that the treaty between the Native Americans and puritans is equal to both parties. He seems to like and have no problem with the Native Americans."But about the 16th of March, a certain Indian came boldly amongst them and spoke to them in broken english, which they could well understand but marveled at it."
the wrong quote for my last statement.. heres mine, "...but these savage barbarians, when they met with them(as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise."
In the beggining of their first meeting, Bradford showed hatred towards the Indians, but as the story went on he became accepting. As shown in this qoute "Indains came skulking about them, and would sometimes show aloof off" (32). Eventually, reaching a peace treaty, the Indians and Americans benefited each other, showing different survival techniques and unknown land. Therefore the tone had ended in a mutal, friendly and comfortable feeling.
Bradford refers to the Native Americans throughout the story. The tone while reading the selection changes from the beginning to the end. The people on the ship do not know that the Native Americans are already on the land. At first there is a little tension between the two groups of people. After making the treaty things start to settle between the Puritans and the Native Americans. By the end of the story the two groups are starting the tradition by enjoying the first Thanksgiving."Which made many afterward write so largely of their plenty here to their friends in England, which were not feigned but true reports."
Bradford treats the Indian tribe as a bestial people that are below his own. He eventually warms to them somewhat, but his tone is still condescending. In this passage we see evidence of Bradford's disdain for these people. "Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men-and what multitudes there might be of them they knew not." Instead of considering the Indians as just a foreign people, he assigns them a status of somehow less than human.
In "Of Plymouth Plantation" the Puritans' view of the Native Americans changes. The text reads, "that the barbarians showed them no small kindness in refreshing them, but these savage barbarians, when they met with them (as after will appear) were readier to fill thier sides full of arrows than otherwise." (31). This shows in the beginning, the Native Americans were thought of as barbarians. The text also says, "Being, after some time of entertainment and gifts dismissed," (33). This quote shows the Native Americans and the Puritans are getting along now. Later, the text says, "With whom, ater friendly entertainment and some gifts given him, they made a peace with him (which hath now continued this 24 years) in these terms: ..." (33) The formation of a treaty shows a certain alliance between the two which shows they are on friendly terms.
I think the Native Americans are higher power. "But these savage barbarians, when they met with them(as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise." He is saying that they are inferior to others. They don't want any one to move them out of power. They want to show who's boss.
When he first realizes that the Native Americans were the people there, he judges them. "About the 16th of March, a certain Indian came boldly amongst them and spoke to them in broken English, which they could well understand, but marveled at it"(32). He calls them "savages and barbarians". At first, he thinks they don't know anything about the world or how it came about, but then realized his assumptions were wrong. He seems kind of stand offish, but then his tone changes to where he can connect with the Native Americans and learn how they live. They make up a treaty and learn to survive together. This eventually leads to the first Thanksgiving.
In the beginning of the story, Bradford's tone is more awkward because he doesn't know much about the Indians. He says that "when any approached near them, they would run away" (32). He and the other puritans eventually warmed up to them but still didn't fully trust the Native Americans. Bradford mentions the Native Americans throughout the selection. His tone is changing as the story goes on. After the Terms were formed he trusted them a little more. Plus after the Treaty the Puritains were able to have weapons and the indians were not able to have any.
At first he judged them an called them "savage beast." and believed they new nothing about anything. But sooner then later he found out that they were not Savage. but that they could indeed help him an his men get through hardships an overcome what some people would think impossible.
I think Bradford had a negative tone when he first met the Indians. He didn't see at first how they could be any help to them. He thinks the Indians are like people who didn't know much about living, and in the quote "but these savage barbarians, when they met with them(as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise." (31) he calls them savage barbarians. I think that shows his view of them.
Bradford sees the Indians as a bunch of barbaric people when they first met. He feels this way because "..Once they stole away thier tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner." (32) But later in the story when Bradford meetes the Indian tribe, he notices that they are safisticated and they have a good community. Also, he was very surprised when an Indian talked to him in perfect english. The ability for that Indian to speak English allowed the Puritans to survive and make friends....Bomba

I think at first Bradford's tone toward the Native Americans' is very hateful. Bradford said's, " these savage barbarians, when we met with them were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise(pg 31)." Eventually they sign a treaty that allows them to help each other. Toward the end of the story I think Bradford's tone towards the Native Americans change. The Indian's show them the ways of the American. They eventually are able to have a three day feast with each other which will later be called Thanksgiveing.
In the beginning of the story Bradford hesitates to meet the Indians. At first it may seem as if he judges them. He says that "when any approached near them, they would run away" (32). They thought the worse of the Indians right off the bat. In addition they even make a peace treaty that states they will help each other. In the end the Indians end up helping Bradford and his crew.
When Bradford first mentions the Indians it is a tone of disrespect and confusion; "All this while the Indians came skulking about them, and would sometimes show themselves aloof off, but when any approached near them, they would run away..."(32). He seems to respect them more when Samoset, an Indian strikes up a conversation with the Puritans. When they make the treaty, Bradford seems to begin to trust them. In the treaty, the Puritans make a sort of "insurance policy" to make sure if ever there is a fight or war broken out between them, they have the upper hand. The First Thanksgiving, which lasts for 3 days, was by the Puritans and Massasoit Indians. It was 3 days of feasting and playing games, and this is where Bradford's tone about the Indians really picks up.
When Bradford first speaks of the Indians he speaks of them as a Barbaric people. He doesn't think they are civilized and speaks of them sulking and creeping around in the bushes. All of these things are supported when he says "..Once they stole away thier tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner" (32). Later on in his stories Bradford warms up to the Indians when they approach and start helping the Puritans.
Bradfords view twords the native americans is negative because he says multiple bad things twards them like, "Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men-and what multitudes there might be of them they knew not." [33] also untill the native americans and the puritans developed a treaty. they stole corn and stuff from the native americans. Also always talked down apon them thinking they were a lesser people then them. instead of treating them like equals and giving them a chance they just shunned them from there society because they were different. this occured untill the native americans started talking in broken english to the puritans, which in turn led up to the first thanksgiving, which led to a friendly relationship the the native people of america.
In 'Plymouth Plantation' William Bradford uses a more solemn and unfriendly tone as he talks about the Native Americans. At first he doesn't see them as normal people, "these savage barbarians..." (31). Also the Natives stole things from the english, which doesn't give a good impression for a better tone. "and once they stole away their tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner,"(32). Later the tone slightly changes when he gets to know the natives and they develop the treaty and enjoy the feast!

Bradford’s tone towards the Indians is negative throughout the story. He talks down to them like they are lesser of persons. Bradford refers to the Native Americans in a degrading manner. He believes that the Native Americans could be a threat to them “that their men came to them, they should leave their bows and arrows behind them.”(33) He acts like the puritans are soupier Native Americans like they have control over them. By the end of the story the puritans and Native Americans join together to help one another and have a feast, Bradford’s tone then switches to respectful and excepting of them.
Bradford's tone while talking about the Native Americans is kind of uncomfortable and he's not really fond of them. "...the barbarians showed them no small kindness..." (31) He describes them as "savage barbarians" and believes that all they want to do is kill them. They try to steer clear of the Native Americans and not get into brawls with them. But once he finally talks to Samoset, and they make peace with him and the other Indians, Bradford's tone kind of changes. They're both benefitting from the terms and the Indians aren't really as bad as they might've thought. He becomes more respectful of them.
Bradfords tone in the begin is very hatful towards the indians and considers them savages ,, but then he comes to gain a trust towards them he then signs a treaty witch would give them the best chance at winning by putting in the indians may nothave weapon so it would gaurentee a win

At the begining of the story Bradfords attitude towards the native americans was very awkward. he didnt trust them at first because they stole all there tools. Bradford called the native americans "savages and barbarians". As the story progresses bradford starts to respect the native americans because they came up with a treaty. The treated basically said that they wouldnt do wrong to eachother. i thought the treaty was pretty fair and there would be no reason for bradford to say otherwise. At the end of the story they had a 3 day feast which is known as the first thanksgiving, which we still celebrate today.

ReplyDeleteAt first he judged them an called them "savage beast." and believed they new nothing about anything. But sooner then later he found out that they were not Savage. but that they could indeed help him an his men get through hardships an overcome what some people would think impossible.
ReplyDeleteI think Bradford had a negative tone when he first met the Indians. He didn't see at first how they could be any help to them. He thinks the Indians are like people who didn't know much about living, and in the quote "but these savage barbarians, when they met with them(as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise." (31) he calls them savage barbarians. I think that shows his view of them.
ReplyDeleteBradford sees the Indians as a bunch of barbaric people when they first met. He feels this way because "..Once they stole away thier tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner." (32) But later in the story when Bradford meetes the Indian tribe, he notices that they are safisticated and they have a good community. Also, he was very surprised when an Indian talked to him in perfect english. The ability for that Indian to speak English allowed the Puritans to survive and make friends....Bomba

ReplyDeleteI think at first Bradford's tone toward the Native Americans' is very hateful. Bradford said's, " these savage barbarians, when we met with them were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise(pg 31)." Eventually they sign a treaty that allows them to help each other. Toward the end of the story I think Bradford's tone towards the Native Americans change. The Indian's show them the ways of the American. They eventually are able to have a three day feast with each other which will later be called Thanksgiveing.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of the story Bradford hesitates to meet the Indians. At first it may seem as if he judges them. He says that "when any approached near them, they would run away" (32). They thought the worse of the Indians right off the bat. In addition they even make a peace treaty that states they will help each other. In the end the Indians end up helping Bradford and his crew.
ReplyDeleteWhen Bradford first mentions the Indians it is a tone of disrespect and confusion; "All this while the Indians came skulking about them, and would sometimes show themselves aloof off, but when any approached near them, they would run away..."(32). He seems to respect them more when Samoset, an Indian strikes up a conversation with the Puritans. When they make the treaty, Bradford seems to begin to trust them. In the treaty, the Puritans make a sort of "insurance policy" to make sure if ever there is a fight or war broken out between them, they have the upper hand. The First Thanksgiving, which lasts for 3 days, was by the Puritans and Massasoit Indians. It was 3 days of feasting and playing games, and this is where Bradford's tone about the Indians really picks up.

When Bradford first speaks of the Indians he speaks of them as a Barbaric people. He doesn't think they are civilized and speaks of them sulking and creeping around in the bushes. All of these things are supported when he says "..Once they stole away thier tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner" (32). Later on in his stories Bradford warms up to the Indians when they approach and start helping the Puritans.
ReplyDeleteBradfords view twords the native americans is negative because he says multiple bad things twards them like, "Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men-and what multitudes there might be of them they knew not." [33] also untill the native americans and the puritans developed a treaty. they stole corn and stuff from the native americans. Also always talked down apon them thinking they were a lesser people then them. instead of treating them like equals and giving them a chance they just shunned them from there society because they were different. this occured untill the native americans started talking in broken english to the puritans, which in turn led up to the first thanksgiving, which led to a friendly relationship the the native people of america.

In 'Plymouth Plantation' William Bradford uses a more solemn and unfriendly tone as he talks about the Native Americans. At first he doesn't see them as normal people, "these savage barbarians..." (31). Also the Natives stole things from the english, which doesn't give a good impression for a better tone. "and once they stole away their tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner,"(32). Later the tone slightly changes when he gets to know the natives and they develop the treaty and enjoy the feast!

ReplyDeleteBradford’s tone towards the Indians is negative throughout the story. He talks down to them like they are lesser of persons. Bradford refers to the Native Americans in a degrading manner. He believes that the Native Americans could be a threat to them “that their men came to them, they should leave their bows and arrows behind them.”(33) He acts like the puritans are soupier Native Americans like they have control over them. By the end of the story the puritans and Native Americans join together to help one another and have a feast, Bradford’s tone then switches to respectful and excepting of them.
ReplyDeleteBradford's tone while talking about the Native Americans is kind of uncomfortable and he's not really fond of them. "...the barbarians showed them no small kindness..." (31) He describes them as "savage barbarians" and believes that all they want to do is kill them. They try to steer clear of the Native Americans and not get into brawls with them. But once he finally talks to Samoset, and they make peace with him and the other Indians, Bradford's tone kind of changes. They're both benefitting from the terms and the Indians aren't really as bad as they might've thought. He becomes more respectful of them.

Bradfords tone in the begin is very hatful towards the indians and considers them savages ,, but then he comes to gain a trust towards them he then signs a treaty witch would give them the best chance at winning by putting in the indians may nothave weapon so it would gaurentee a win

ReplyDeleteAt the begining of the story Bradfords attitude towards the native americans was very awkward. he didnt trust them at first because they stole all there tools. Bradford called the native americans "savages and barbarians". As the story progresses bradford starts to respect the native americans because they came up with a treaty. The treated basically said that they wouldnt do wrong to eachother. i thought the treaty was pretty fair and there would be no reason for bradford to say otherwise. At the end of the story they had a 3 day feast which is known as the first thanksgiving, which we still celebrate today.
