Within these two groups, William Bradford and John Winthrop are both recognized as authors that helped shape the American literary traditions. Bradford was raised in a radical nonconforming Protestant of rural northern England which was where he earned his allegiance and whom he accompanied on their exile out in the lowlands early in the 17th century. As a Pilgrim, his most famous work was “Of Plymouth Plantation”.…

    You should always write while considering the purpose, tone, and audience. The purpose is the reason the writer composes the paragraph. The tone is the attitude the writer conveys about the paragraph’s subject. The audience is the individual or group with whom the writer intends to address. A very important aspect of academic writing should be the quality of writing. The writing quality is especially important when you are seeking to be published. It is very important to put a lot of effort ensuring that the writing style of an academic essay is up to par. The content for academic writing should be well identified by the topic. The reader is expecting that the content matter will be related to the topic. Like when placing subtopics within an academic writing piece, the content should match the subtopic. There should be an obvious flow to the academic article. In most cases, someone reading your academic piece for specific information should be able to go to a subtopic and obtain all the information that is needed. The structure of the academic article is also a part of the writing quality. It will be very hard for people to understand what you are writing if the sentence structure is lacking. Proper structure within an article allows you, as the writer, to effectively communicate ideas about a particular topic. Proper structure enables the reader to access information efficiently. The goal of academic writing is to inform an audience about a particular topic in a very professional manner. Effective academic journal writing does involve clearly stating your purpose and presenting your information in a manner that is simplistic enough for others to read and understand while still having the tone of an academic piece. It is very important you are able to present your ideas clearly when writing an academic piece. Academic writing should be concise, without being completely stripped of the necessary facts that are needed to support your topic. If you do all these…

    William Bradford's most well-known work by far is Of Plymouth Plantation. It was a detailed history in manuscript form about the founding of the Plymouth colony and the lives of the colonists from 1621 to 1646.[46] It is a common misconception that the manuscript was actually Bradford's journal. Rather, it was a retrospective account of his recollections and observations, written in the form of two books. The first book was written in 1630; the second was never finished, but "between 1646 and 1650, he brought the account of the colony's struggles and achievements through the year 1646."[47] As Walter P. Wenska states, "Bradford writes most of his history out of his nostalgia, long after the decline of Pilgrim fervor and commitment had become apparent. Both the early annals which express his confidence in the Pilgrim mission and the later annals, some of which reveal his dismay and disappointment, were written at about the same time."[46] In Of Plymouth Plantation, Bradford drew deep parallels between everyday life and the events of the Bible. As Philip Gould writes, "Bradford hoped to demonstrate the workings of divine providence for the edification of future generations."[47] Despite the fact that the manuscript was not published until 1656, the year before his death, it was well received by his near contemporaries.…

Bradford, a native of Yorkshire, England, joined the Separatist religious movement while a teenager. He and fellow Separatists, later named the Pilgrims, endured religious persecution in England and eventually immigrated to America on the Mayflower in 1620. As a leader of the Plymouth Colony, Bradford served off and on as governor for almost thirty years. Bradford is best known for his two-book series Of Plymouth Plantation, written between 1630-1650, documenting the early years of Plymouth Colony. He later wrote several poems and dialogues aimed at teaching younger generations. Bradford’s writings are significant to American Literature…
