NOTES.
One contrast in the writings of Byrd and Bradford is the purpose for which they are written. One reason Bradford writes his story is to inform the reader about the history of the pilgrims. Another reason for Bradford's writing is to inspire future generations to Puritan ideals alive.. On the other hand Byrd's writing was his own personal journal that was soon to be published. Byrd may have written his story to entertain his reader. For examples..
Although William Byrd's diary and William Bradford's Journal are both rather subjective, they differ in tone, style, and purpose.
*The tones of the two accounts are different. In William Byrd's account the tone is light and funny. He uses sarcasm, satire, and humor to express his beliefs on a matter. For example
William Byrd and William Bradford were two colonial writers however they took completely opposite approaches toward writing. During these times, journals, diaries, and sermons made up the literature. Byrd and Bradford were no exceptions with their works of A History of the Dividing Line and Of Plymouth Plantion respectively. Whether it was the difference in writing styles, the different purposes for writing the stories, or simply each writer's tone, their techniques were far from similar to one another.
One difference between Bradford and Byrd was their writing styles. Bradford used the plain style to record and to describe his account of the New World. Plain style writing is the form of writing used by the Puritans. This writing style tended to stay away from figures of speech and tried to keep it plain, simple and right to the point. A great example
