Journals of Discovery

The journal I decided to reflect on was the journal "Of Plymouth Plantation." The area I choose to reflect on was their hardships. Each and every colony had there similar hardships they went through but the people that arrived on the Mayflower in this journal arrived during the winter.  They could go on land but it was to hard for them to start an area of living because of all the snow on the ground so they had to stay on the ship and eat what little and old food they had.  Once winter was over and they began settling they had some mini battles with the Indians. Also with in two to three months of arrival half of the company had died so they were left with only fifty people out of a hundred.  While all of this is happening Indians would still stuff from the settlers on a consistent basis.  All in all they faced the same hardships as other settlers had when they came to the new area.
