Bradford with all other pilgrims view the Native Americans as savages and barbarians. They think that the Native Americans didn’t know about anything about the world. But at the end, as they started teaching culture things, the Native Americans became friendly. Thus, I think Bradford’s first impressions were not completely accurate.
C<span><span>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.Reply</span><span>jay695September 18, 2011 at 6:51 PMI 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.Reply</span><span>LaurenSeptember 18, 2011 at 9:19 PMWhen 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.Reply</span><span>digbaddySeptember 19, 2011 at 6:58 AMBradfords 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.Reply</span><span>AnonymousSeptember 19, 2011 at 2:00 PMThroughout 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. _jonReply</span><span>AnonymousSeptember 19, 2011 at 2:00 PMHis 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 "Reply</span></span>
it means that the family woke up due to the sunlight coming through the bedroom windows. the use of "peered" in this sentence is the personification, as the sun can't really "peer."
