South Alabama Plymouth Plantation Paper

Are you tired of writing just what your instructors say to write? Sick of having to do what

someone else thinks is creative? Do you long to unleash that surge of creativity inside
you just waiting to get out? This is your lucky assignment! This could be one of the few
college papers you write that invites YOUR thoughts and ideas instead of what your
instructor may think or want. Finally, your creative day has come!
Tap into your creative juices to recreate a writing form representative of an author or age
between 1700 and 1880 that fate or the fates select for you from the bag of destiny in
class.  For instance, you might create a poem reconfiguring an understanding of nature
like Dickenson. Perhaps you might choose to create a ballad, scene, or short essay.  
Whatever you decide, be sure to explain your creative work to your reader to ensure that
your creation will not be lost to posterity.  Also, include selecting the book to serve as a
representative model of what you are recreating.
Clearly explain to your audience how your creation fulfills the requirements of a certain
form or style of an author or period.  The main thing is that you provide some self-
reflective analysis on what you learned from the re-creative process.  You could, of
course, update material.  Certainly, our understanding of how to be enlightened today
differs from Bradford’s, but more importantly, the original concept remains based on that
of the Puritans and Native People. Perhaps our modern-day journey to find (or define)
democracy and America might be too contemporary politics or the values of our home
communities instead of what Franklin envisioned.  
Disagree, if you so please, with or make a mockery of ANY authority or critic.  
Washington Irving certainly did in “Rip Van Winkle.”  After all, a critic’s thoughts are
still just one individual perception.  Each artistic piece (if meritorious) speaks
metaphorically, in most cases, to readers/viewers across the ages.
To examine what you hear, feel, think, and associate with the style, form, or actual piece
when you begin your creation.  Explore the realm of what the work could mean and
consider why you think so.  My best advice to you is to enjoy your journey or quest to
become, above all else, an aspiring Renaissance mind! – “I await with great anticipation
to reading your most creative endeavors showing the fluidity of your mind and creativity
from your soul.”    MY PARTICULAR PERSON AND CREATIVE PEICE  SHOULD CONSULT In William Bradford’s “Plymouth Plantation”  he is writing a journal that was written over a period of years to describe the hardship of Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts. Of Plymouth Plantation is considered the Puritan “plain style”—the literary style that stresses simple sentence constructions and a relatively small vocabulary. The plain style is a stylistic description of the Puritans’ simple and scattered lifestyle. I will use a journal narrative writing style to describe in deep detail the Christianity of William Bradford and the impact of the Mayflower. He wrote this story to inform the audience of hardships that the settlers had to encounter to reach the new land. Bradford’s tone throughout the story is a tone of faithfulness, It is shown how he speaks about the sailors necessity of God to survive the voyage hoping that they will be shown mercy. I will use William Bradford’s Masculine emotionless faith to compare to Mary Rowlandson’s feminine troubles and restoration. I will use a passionate and persuasive tone to compare and contrast the description between the two God-fearing individuals. I will describe the hardships they both encountered and how they accustomed their situations with their optimistic approach. I will make it my approach for the audience to have a better and easier understanding of these two authors and the reason for their strong faith and beliefs.
