William Bradford came over to America on the Mayflower because of his separatist beliefs. He was the Governor of Plymouth for many years. He was part of the exploration parties once the Mayflower had landed. His wife died shortly before they got to Plymouth. William wrote Of Plymouth Plantation, which was a journal of what he encountered during the trip. William Bradford ended up being governor 30 times throughout his life.

This post is about option C. of number one, hardships. It seems like the earlier settlers here were having a hard time coping with the land and the indians at first. They were getting too much salt from the water, which acutally made them drink more salt. This little obstacle alone took out more than half of the first settlers. The Native Americans also were not on their side, they saw foreign people and did not take a liking to it. Also, some of the people in the village were spies, and the known fact that there were spies made the people more suspicious. Having a village on there toes is tough enough, but since the few that remained needed each other to stay alive it was tough to cope with others, being suspicious of them.

So I guess I'm a little behind on the bloggs, and I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'll give it a shot.
We are starting off the year in English by talking about Native American culture and History. "The World on the Turtles Back" was about what was good in the world and what was bad. It talked about how there was a man who either pushed his pregnant wife, or watched her fall into a hole and he didn't really do anything about it. That woman gave birth to a daughter. Between the two of them and some of their animal buddies, they created the world we live in now. The daughter also became pregnant and had twins, a left twin and a right twin. The right twin was good, and was born normally. However, the left twin was a hell raiser, and was born through the armpit, of course. The left twin represented all the evil and bad things in the world and the right twin represented all the good things in the world. The right one ended up killing the left and now the left twin is the ruler of the under world. He also killed his grandmother, who is now the moon.
