Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. It seems you are likely referring to the online article, The complicated legacy of the Pilgrims by Peter C. Mancall, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities, USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences on the actively learn website.

Explanation:

1. The first misconception occurs when we are told that even though many American students have been taught to believe that the Compact signed by the pilgrims was "a stepping stone toward self-government, a defining feature of American constitutional democracy. " it isn't actually the case, the article explains why, "After all, self-governing communities existed across Indigenous New England long before European migrants arrived...So American self-government, however one defines it, was not born in Plymouth."

2. Another misconception was that the Pilgrims showed kindness and love towards the indigenous people they met, For example, we are told that in 1802, "the future President John Quincy Adams" referring to the pilgrims said, "shown “kindness and equity toward the savages.” However, William Bradford another observer said about the land, “a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wild beasts and wild men.”

Moreover, the article further says, "...colonists slaughtered Indigenous people on the banks of the Mystic River." This alludes to the fact that there was a very little period of kindness amongst the Pilgrims and the indigenous people they met.

Can someone create a essay on the similarities between the two storys "Loser" and "At Dusk"??? Please?

irinina [24]

Answer:

Loser and At Dusk...

both are amazing stories let's compare them.

so first, Loser is a tender story about Donald Zinkoss, a young character who demonstrates great self-acceptance and who is not afraid to fail. With the encouragement of his family, he learns to approach life with a positive spirit and to enjoy all that it has to offer.

Now about at Dusk. 'Dusk' by Saki is about Norman Gatsby, who's cheated by a young man about needing money. He tells Gatsby that he had set out to buy some soap and has now forgotten which hotel he's staying at. Initially, Gatsby is suspicious, but he later finds a bar of soap on the ground, which confirms the young man's story.

The themes in "Loser" include success, persistence, and conformity while the themes in "at dusk" include perception, deception, and guilt.

The loser is the story of a boy who was branded a loser by his classmates because of his poor performance in school and athletics. He was persistent and was eventually successful.

At Dusk is a poem about deception. It's hard to see people as they truly are at dusk. In about city, everyone is a stranger. The themes include perception, deception, and guilt.
