    Book Report: The Mayflower The voyage of the Mayflower is one we have known since childhood. The pilgrims sailed over and became friends with the Native Americans, who taught them the ways of the land while they feasted over a large Thanksgiving dinner and discovered America. Well Nathaniel Philbrick tells this story in a slightly different way than we have grown to know it, and for some reason his version seems to make much more sense. This novel takes you on a journey with the original settlers…

The boat they sailed on was called the Mayflower. During the trip a sneaky, surging storm erupted. The wildly hollering storm which would not subside for days, made the pilgrims stay below the deck.

    summer, I had to read the book, “The Mayflower” by Nathaniel Philbrick. When I first started to read this novel I thought it was going to be boring and a waste of time, but after finishing the book, my opinion has changed. I originally thought that the Native Americans were cruel people who killed innocent people for no reason. Since I read this book, I see that’s not true. In this novel, a sachem decided to befriend the pilgrims who came to America on the Mayflower. He saw the pilgrims settle down…

    some experiences were milder than others. One perspective of someone who had a decent experience, was William Bradford. He was one of the leaders among the group of religious, freedom-seeking people, called Pilgrims, who arrived in America on the Mayflower. Their trip was not as smooth as it seemed though. Their ship had gotten off-course several times, as a result of the violent storms that took place. Consequently, in spite of the patent (which had originally granted them to settle in Virginia),…

    The Mayflower. These colonists promised to send lumbers, furs, and fish back to the Weston for seven years. After these seven years, they would own the tract. The leaders of the expedition and half the members were Separatist Puritans that had withdrawn from the Church of England. In November of 1620, this ship landed at Plymouth bay in present-day Massachusetts. They had no legal right to be there, thus the leaders had all the adult males in the group sign a document known as the Mayflower Compact…

    I started reading “Mayflower” for a coursework but instantly got addicted to it. Philbrick, a Nantucket occupant, got to be interested about the Pioneer story while exploring the Wampanoag Indians local to his island. He partitions his book into three areas, reflected in the subtitle: the narrative of the little gathering of Separatists who left Britain (where their religious practices were banned) for Leiden, then cruised for America; the watchful discretion with which the English and the Indian…
