First Thanksgiving: The First Thanksgiving
Personally, I’m going to have to say no. The painting does a very horrendous job at depicting the relationship between the Wampanoag Indians and the Pilgrims during the First Thanksgiving. The painting is very simplistic. In other words, it fails to recognize the crucial details of what actually led up to the First Thanksgiving, and what occurred afterward as a result of the Peace treaty between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indians. There’s a lot more to the story of Thanksgiving. The painting only focuses on a very small piece of the whole ordeal and fails to capture the big picture of it all. The Wampanoag’s and the Pilgrims were not best friends nor were they even remotely close to one another. Upon the arrival of the

    Lies My Teacher Told Me Chapter 3 Summary

    When I read chapter three, “The Truth about the First Thanksgiving,” in the novel “Lies My Teacher Told Me,” this chapter is interesting about the Pilgrims in New England and how textbooks do not go into detail about the struggles the Pilgrims went through. Lowen wants textbooks to assist students to understand the history of the Pilgrims and how they discovered America. In this chapter, Lowen explains the history of the Pilgrims in New England, how and why they got there, and what they found. Before the Pilgrims got to America, an illness called the plague moved across southern New England. This illness was brutal and deadly, it killed a lot of the population in southern New England.…

    THe Mayflower Compacts signifigance

    The author depicts an American point of view in his painting, as shown by his placement of the signing of the Compact in the central figure, which was the most important part of the series of events according to the Americans. Had the painting shown an Indian point of view, it would have placed the image of the Indians supplying the Pilgrims with food as the central figure. The events in the painting take place in 1620, and the people aboard the ship are religious refugees fleeing from protestant England. They wanted to found a Calvinist colony where they would not be persecuted for following their religion. In addition, when the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth and afterward survived the…

    The Great Epidemic Summary

    Shortly before the Pilgrims arrived, a devastating epidemic wiped out as much as 90% of the Native population in southern New England. In 1615, a shipwrecked French trading vessel carried the disease(s) that caused the Great Epidemic. The Europeans introduced cholera, typhus, smallpox, leptospirosis and other infectious diseases to the Native populations; diseases that the Natives had no natural immunity to. Because of the Great Epidemic, the surviving Wampanoag Indians were terrified of Europeans. They wrongly assumed that the white man's God sent the epidemic to destroy them. So out of fear of the Europeans, and to appease their angry God, they helped the Pilgrims survive their first winter in America. Later,…

    King Philip's War: the Unavoidable Conflict

    After landing in what is now known as Plymouth, some of the first Indians that the Pilgrims encountered were the Wampanoag 's. They were led by their chief Massasoit and eventually the Indians and Pilgrims formed an alliance. As a result of this alliance, both parties promised not to attack or harm one or another, and if something did happen, then the offender would be turned over to the ones harmed. Also, they would give assistance to each other if they should find themselves under attack (Rich 1-8).…

    Pilgrims Expedition Research Paper

    These “other people” were Indian tribes. They feared the tribes and stayed away from them as much as they could. Some Indians even stole their tools from them. After engaging in conversation with the tribe, an Indian named Samoset introduced the Pilgrims to another Indian named Squanto. Squanto had connections with fisherman from England, where the Pilgrims are from. Since they were living on the same land, they came to terms together and formed rules that they both could follow to live cohesively. In a nutshell, some of these crucial rules were no stealing others goods, no hurting others people, do not approach each other with weapons and help each other in times of need. Squanto followed the Pilgrims and taught them worthy survival skills and he acted as their interpreter to interpret the Indian language for the Pilgrims. “..but Squanto continued with them and was their interpreter and was a special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation.” This explains how God gave the Pilgrims great help by allowing Squanto to trail the Pilgrims. Overall, the Indians and the Pilgrims kept up to terms.…

    Oppression And Malevolenance In William Bradford's Journal Of Plymouth Plantation

    Oppression and malevolence can disband the greatest of empires and ideologies. When it came to the pilgrims that statement was all but true. Scorn and hatred was thrown their way at every turn in their lives, however it never seemed to discourage them. In William Bradford’s journal of Plymouth Plantation, the real-life account of the pilgrimage of the separatists was recorded entailing the grueling life that the men and women of the faith endured. It was felt strongly in their community that living a pure life would ensure that God would be with them in every endeavor.…

    Thanksgiving Dinner Essay

    There are hundreds of home cooked meals around the world. Some are very complex while others are quite simple to make. Unfortunately, every home cooked meal cannot be mastered by everyone. With this universal dilemma, we are always taking a risk when trying home cooked meals made by different people. Because of this I’ve decided to choose macaroni and cheese. Normally this dish is looked as a kids’ meal or a meal that isn’t very fancy/mature. In fact, this dish is served all over the world in multiple of ways to people for almost any occasion. I personally love this dish because of the variety of ways it can be prepared. Meaning, that the cheeses use, the methods used to cook, and special touches added are very important in ensuring that the perfect bowl/plate of mac and cheese. Without these three factors the meal is not to be brought to Thanksgiving Dinner.…

    An Argumentative Essay About Thanksgiving

    Thanksgiving. One of America’s most beloved holidays. I mean it is so important that we get a whole week of school off. For most people when they think about Thanksgiving, neither the words thanks nor giving comes up. It is turkey am I right? How would you feel if you showed up to a Thanksgiving meal and there was no turkey on the table. I mean could you even call that a “Thanksgiving” meal? This was the exact thinking process I was going through last Thanksgiving. However, we were not going to someone’s house for dinner. Our family was the one hosting the dinner.…

    Reflection: My First Thanksgiving In Social Studies

    The students previously talked a little bit about the First Thanksgiving in Social Studies and were excited to read more about. Going through the book walk some of the students were able to identify exactly what each photo was and the names of ships illustrated. I felt like the students were engaged and eager to learn more. During the Fact or Myth game, the students were excited to hear more. My Cooperating Teacher said my strengths were being organized and prepared to teach the lesson. She also said I related to the students well, was always respectful, and gave clear instructions. During my second lesson I did not experience any unexpected circumstances. I was concerned about reading the book out loud to the students because there were a…
