    Mayflower Belief

    The freedoms that we solely possess are the freedoms that God had bestowed upon us the moment we were born into this life. The freedom of speech and the freedom to choose between right and wrong, and to suffer the wrath if we choose wrongly. Through the Mayflower Compact, Declaration of Independence, and theories of elder and modern analysts will prove that our nation had the fabrication of men with a background of faith and belief in a higher power. No, not every founding father was a Christian, but many contributors to the argument of “christian nation or myth” say that there is little evidence of the founding of our country to be based…

    American Heroism: the Last of the Mohicans and the Birth of a Nation

    American heroism is a term that started to show itself in the early years of the creation of America as a nation and before hand when America was first founded and explored as a frontier. Heroism defined by the Oxford English Dictionary is simply, Great Bravery (Oxford, 2013). Heroism only consists of someone doing something brave, being courageous in the face of danger being someone who other people want to follow and emulate. Heroism in itself is the basis for American heroism but with the addition of American in the beginning of the term it also adds something to the definition as well. American heroism demands civilization or becoming civilized in itself to be the proper form of American heroism. It can not be American heroism unless civilization is already present or is there for the development of civilization. In both D. W. Griffith’s 1915 film, The Birth of a Nation and James Fenimore Cooper’s 1826 novel, The Last of the Mohicans, American heroism is at the forefront of the plot but only due to the rising development of civilization of the characters, settings, and plot. The definition of civilization by the Oxford English Dictionary is, the process by which a society or place reaches an advanced stage of social development and organization (Oxford, 2013). Civilization is not the sole part of American heroism but it is a major point for it’s creation and continued use in the development of American culture. America was developing itself as a nation, while gaining both populace and industry. It began to model itself after many European countries and using their influence on development, implemented civilization as a critical factor for their own form of heroism, American heroism.…

    Pilgrims Progress Essay First Draft

    John Bunyan's “The Pilgrim's Progress” is an allegorical story about the Christian religion. It allegorizes the journey of a Christian into the Celestial City, which represents heaven. Although “The Pilgrim's Progress” may seem simple and straight forward, there are many deeper meanings throughout the whole story. Bunyan uses the names of his characters to signify whom the character represents in the story. For example, the character Hopeful represents hopefulness; Help represents people who are willing to help others in need of assistance; Faithful represents people who are faithful to whatever they are associated with; and the main character, Christian, represents all young Christians in the world.…

    An Analysis of the Passenger List for the 1607 Voyage to Jamestown

    The gender breakdown on the passenger list for the 1607 voyage to Jamestown is all men and a few boys and no women are on the passenger list. I am sure this was so because they planned for more settlers to come and they needed to establish the colony. There were four boys (boyes) the list mentions but it gives no age but if I had to guess they would be the closest to children if there were any. The main profession represented in the list is Gentlemen. Gentlemen back in that time were usually men of upper middle class who were entitled to display arms. A Gentleman sometimes had laborers work for them. They were usually adventurers and most hoped to build estates in the New World. The second profession represented on the list was Laborers (Labourers). Laborers worked for their Gentlemen masters and they would grow, build houses and do others essential tasks for their masters. Some professions not listed on the passengers list that I think would be crucial to see on a maiden voyage to the New World would be farmers, cooks, woodsmen, and maybe men who were career soldiers. What the passengers thought would be their opportunities open to them in the New World would be ones of starting out new and establishing a name for themselves. I also believe that many of them came for a number of different reasons. Take the Gentlemen for instance; I believe they came to seek fortune and to claim a stake in the New World. This I know because it has been recorded in many texts I have read. Others of no providence I believe came because they believed their statues would never change back home or they were running from something. Those that were a part of the counsel and some of the gentlemen came because they were instructed to do so by King James I and most were entrepreneurs. He instructed them to settle Virginia, find gold, and seek a water route to the Asia. Based on the type of people who made the voyage I…

    The Seafarer Essay

    “Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.” Robert Henri statement not only applies to himself but it also explains many other human’s feelings towards the ocean. This passion is significant in “The Seafarer” by an anonymous Anglo-Saxon scop. “The Seafarer” intertwines the positives and negatives of a life at sea. The story goes through the sacrificial day to day life of a sailor. The voyages cause many controversial scenarios in the sailor’s life. Although sailing a life at sea is very interfering to a normal life, the Seafarer still loves the life he lives and also finds himself on a much deeper spiritual level than any ocean depth he has ever came across.…
