The Puritans had a vision of the world quite different from our contemporary point of view. Like people from different times and places, their notions about others, in particular, the indigenous people of the "New World" revealed bias. In addition, their religious attitudes affected their perception of reality. Write an essay in which you first discuss (briefly) Bradford's reasons for writing "Plymouth Plantation." Then analyze his essay to point out bias and prejudice. Also explain instances of how his religious point of view affected his perception of the world. How did the Puritan religion affect the people's emotion and logic? Cite textual evidence to support your arguments.
