Write down three of Bradford's sentences that contain elements of plain styles, such as everyday language and direct statements. Recast theses sentences into plain, modern prose. How did your change affect the sound of the sentence? (Reverence "Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford")

Answer and Explanation:

“All great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage" reformulation: All major difficulties must be faced with courage in order to achieve great victories. Reformulation effect: The reformulation left the sentence smaller, more objective and sonorously more modern. This allows for faster and more effective understanding.

“Nevertheless, to keep a good conscience, and walk in such a way as God has prescribed in his word, is a thing which I must prefer before you all, and above life itself.”  Reformulation: The most important thing that we must defend is the use of conscience according to the word of God. Reformulation effect: Once again the sentence became more concise and direct, as it eliminated unnecessary words, making the sentence shorter and more easily identified by the listener, who can interpret it quickly.

“That with their miseries they opened a way to these new lands; and after these hardships, with what ease other men came to inhabit them,”  Reformulation: It was necessary for the pioneers to face the problems in the new land, so that other individuals knew that it was possible to inhabit these lands. Reformulation effect: The reformulation left the historical event of colonization more efficiently, allowing the reader to quickly identify what was being talked about.
