What overall message do you think Bradford means to communicate in Of Plymouth Plantation? Write an essay to state what you think, and speculate how this message might have meaning for people today,

Answer and Explanation:

"Of Plymouth Plantation" is composed by Bradford's account of the difficult times that the first English colonists suffered to arrive in North America.

Bradford wrote "Of Plymouth Plantation" not just as a diary, but an account of how it is possible to overcome our greatest difficulties, even when they seem impossible to overcome and even though it seems that we will lose our life in an attempt to overcome difficulties.

We can see that, because "Of Plymouth Plantation" presents a narrative of overcoming. Bradford presents the inhospitable environment, the unfavorable climate, the limited food and the constant dangers that the pilgrims went through, he reports the deaths and the constant threats they suffered, but also shows how they managed to overcome all this with effort, dedication, faith and trust.

Therefore, we can say that Bradford's narrative is significant, as it shows how the human being, in general, is capable of overcoming adversity and is capable of being greater than all of them. This is related to current life, as we live in times of uncertainty and danger, but we will eventually overcome everything.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
