Answer and Explanation:

1. cold hard land, full of savages, and death

2. The words shown above and written in "Of Plymouth Plantation" convey a feeling of difficulties and trials, which well reflects the life of the first English pilgrims in North America. With just those words, we can see that agriculture and food was difficult, which caused many deaths, in addition, we can see that the pilgrims were constantly afraid of the natives, who they saw as savages. This gives the reader a feeling of anguish, difficulty and trial.

3. Bradford's purpose was to show how difficult it was to settle on the American continent, but that the pilgrims were persistent and even in the midst of anguish, fear and suffering, endeavored to make this land their new home.
