The Native Americans are very different from the English settlers in terms of daily life. The Europeans built houses by making wooden frames and then hammering on more wood to cover it. The Native Americans used bark to cover their houses. I think that the Europeans had a more efficient and coforatable way of living. The reason why I think that is because I think the Europeans have more comforatable clothes and wide open spaced homes.

The reason the journey to Pymouth from England was hard. It was hard because there was hardly room on the Mayflower. Another, reason why it was a hard trip was because of storms destroying everthing.

The voyage was really rough because alot of people had to stay under the ship and had to do number 1 and 2 and barf together.The weather and the sea was really strong. Thats why I think it was really harsh.

The Pilgrims were in a New Word and the winter was hart to fine food. Also the Pilgrims use to share crops with the "coat men" that they call them the English.

The voyage on the Mayflower was difficult for the Pilgrims b/c about 1/3 of the way there and they got stuck in an autumn storm and the main beam of the ship breaks and there was a leak in the ship. There were lots of sicknesses on board and one person died. The Pilgrims fixed the leak and the beam. Two babies were on board,Oceaness and Perigrine.

P.S. I had two relatives on board,John and Percilla Aulden.

good job scholastic news.Liked the facts about the pilgrims and the naitve americans.the pilgrims and the native americans where both in a difficult moment when they settled to Massachutsets.looks like they had to get used to it and get creative. Keep up the good work

Unknown said...

What we have leared today is the pilgrims had a hard time finding food and to build a shelter. We also learned that the Pilgrims
celebrated Thanksgiving as there reigion.Pilgrims eat duck, mussels,cornbread,oatmeal,pudding, and curds. But, Wanpanoag eats rabbits,squirrels,tukey, and deers!!!!!!!!!!

The journy frm Englind to Virgina was very hard. The living condicions were bad and there were many vilent storms. One time there was a massive storm that blew them off course so they had to stop at Newfoundland. Also during the storm the main beam had cracked. In the end olny one person had died.

I think that it's interesting that the native amaricans taught the pilgrams how to play pick up sticks. Even though people celibrate thanks giving with turkey, the pilgrams and native amaricans ate more vegdibles and didn't have turkey most of the time. The wemen would prepair the duck for the feast. the children helped too ,but not with the duck, with other food thet wasn't too hard to prepair.

Unknown said...

1.Many of the pilagrams left England in 1606 to get there religist freedom and started there own church.The journey from Europe to America was difficult and dangerous because the people below deck had hardly any air to breath.The ship also got hit by a strom and some people got thrown over board.If I was on that ship I would feel uncomfortable.Also if I was on that ship I would also I would get sick and maybe die.

I will be answering question number one.Daily life for the pilgrims started different even at the start by getting dressed. The pilgrims WORE A LOT OF LAIRS, and the naitive americans wore a thin lair of deerskin pants. Housing was very different. food for the pilgrims was duck and sea food.for naitive americans was wild game.

During their journy from England to North America a violent autumn storm comes by then the ship leaks, the main beam cracks, then a passenger was thrown over the ship, but catches a rope and is safe. Later on, they plug the leaks with caulks and a mallet, but the ship is then blown off course in far north of Virgina. On November 11th after 65 days at sea they knew by December they will make it to their new home in, Pilmoth as winter comes.

1)life for the Native Americans wer diffrent from the Europeans. their houses,clothing,chores,school and games.For example the Native Americans houses were made of grass and bark then europeans houses were made of strong wood.thier eduction was diffrent,like the Native Americans didn't have so many supplies the european on the other hand had books and thing to write with.

2)Well to start with the voyage was very dangerous.In the autumn storm it was very severe there were leaks and the main beam craked.After the storm passed the ship was blown off coarse.

3)Many people came.The Ntive Americans and European.The European shared their food with the Native Americans.If I were invited I would represent the Native Americans and thing from our habitat like matbe nuts or fruit.

How was daily differet for Native of America and Erupians?

The Erupians wear alor of clothe.Especially woman.It was easier for the Erupians to hunt.They will hut with there "flowling" rufles.There hauses were made of frames also from wodden boards.

The Natives of America wear lees clothe.They will use deerskin tain cloth.There homes were made of sapling in a circular shape.

In your opinion tell how was able to serve? Tell why

I think the Europains were able to live were the Erupians because they have weopens to hunt.Also because they hane a better life
