Writing Prompt: Write a response in which you describe two distinct themes, or central ideas, in Of Plymouth Plantation. Cite evidence from the text to support your

understanding of these themes. In your response, include examples of rhetoric from the

text and explain how the use of rhetoric helps to support the themes.

Answer and Explanation:

One of the main themes presented in "Of Plymouth Plantation" is God's providence for the faithful. This is because the text focuses so much on the difficulty that the pilgrims lived in America and how devastating it was for them, however, as puritan faithful to God, they saw these moments of difficulty as a divine ordeal to prove their faith in an all-powerful God. The author states that these difficulties increased people's faith and in the name of that faith, God provided victories for all of them. In these moments, the author shows a strong appeal to pathos, encouraging the sentimentality of the reader and showing faith and religiosity.

A second theme that can be observed is the European view on Native Americans. The author presents Native Americans as the main problems in America, and shows them as wild, uncivilized, filthy and creatures that are not human, but are similar to animals without any rationality. At this moment, the author makes a strong appeal to logos, showing logically, that beings who did not look or share his customs, could not be good people, like her.
