The pilgrims of Plimoth by Sewall_ Marcia Story of the crossing and landing at Plimoth, MA and how they were able to survive with help from the Indians. Hard land and they were able to cut trees and build houses. Section tells of what chores the men have. also one from women's perspective and one from children and their work. Glossary of words used. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). This book is about the pilgrims who came over from Plymouth, England in 1620. The book goes into detail about their voyage on the Mayflower as well as their first few years here in America. It talks about their encounters with Native Americans and the struggle to start a new life here in America. The book is broken down into several subtopics in order to focus on what different groups (men, women, and children) were responsible for doing in their new home. I thought that this book was very well written and illustrated. It provides the reader with a lot of information about the pilgrims and their new life in America. The author uses detail in a way that is interesting and effective. The illustrations were very well done and provided the reader with good visuals of what may have been going on at this time in history. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The book lacked a table of contents but I think that it wasn't a necessary for the narrative that's presented. The book is written with words that were common during this era such as aye and betwixt. The glossary of terms provided in the back should be used regularly to know what she is trying to make you understand about the slice of life being presented. I liked reading this story because she included words that were specific to each part of the story. One thing that stood out was her use of the word "gift" to describe a settler stealing from a Indian. Also, I liked that she didn't make the story politically correct when dealing with perceived savagery that the pilgrims had on their mind and their actions during the hard early winters. I liked the book and would use it with a younger class to show them culture, language, and prejudice that existed during this fascinating period.
The book didn't contain a lot of "facts" since it was told in the first person. But, these people were real and there is a lot of writing about the people discussed such as Carver, Bradford, and Squanto. The biographical information about these men was true and blends into the story seamlessly. The think I liked at the end were the illustrations. The boring and plain ascetic of the illustrations made this book a real winner due to the way it supported and extended the story. ( )
