The Iroquois Creation Myth: "The World on Turtle's Back"

Question 4 • (J. Blaum) 0231 10th Grade English 1st 9 Weeks 26-27

What does Of Plymouth Plantation reveal about the Pilgrims' readiness to establish a new colony where they landed?

Answer

They were prepared to build shelters and to grow food to support themselves comfortably if the ship left before spring.

They were not prepared for the harshness of the environment, and they had little food if the ship left before spring.

They had enough food to survive the winter without the ship, but no adequate means to protect themselves against the harsh environment.

They could easily protect themselves against the harsh environment, but they did not have enough food to survive the winter without the ship.

Explanation

In Of Plymouth Plantation, Bradford describes the settlers arriving late in the year without enough preparation for the cold, unfamiliar conditions. Their supplies were limited, and they depended on the ship for provisions; if it left before spring, they would have little food. This matches the choice that they were unprepared for the harsh environment and had little food without the ship.
