1. List at least five descriptive words and phrases that Bradford uses to describe the Native Americans.
2. What connotations do these words and phrases have?
3. Explain the impact of his diction, or word choice.

Answer and Explanation:

1. Bradford uses words like "savages", "cruel", "brutal", "barbarians" and "treacherous". He says that one of the biggest challenges to establish in America would be to live “in continual danger of the savage people who are cruel, barbarious, and most treacherous”

2. This position of Bradford in relation to the indigenous people shows a negative connotation of the indigenous people and portrays them as irrational beasts and lacking an intellect that allows them to think and act in a civilized way. Probably, Bradford, drew this conclusion from stories he had heard in England about the aggressiveness and lack of civilization of the Indians, however, we know that the Indians were essential to the success of the colony that Bradford was established.

3. The choice of words and the diction used by Bradford gives the text an uncomfortable impact, as it shows the ignorant and adverse view of the colonizers with the natives and reinforcing the European view that native peoples should be suppressed and act in a submissive way. land that rightfully was theirs.

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.
