1. The people got really sick with scurvy and other diseases due to their lack of shelter, and nearly half of the people died.

2. Squanto was the pilgrims’ interpreter and he learned English when he was kidnapped. He helped translate for the pilgrims, and helped create a treaty between the natives and the settlers.

3. They taught the colonists how to plant corn, about cod and other fish, and promised to back each other up if something bad were to happen.

5. -It made the colonists realize they needed help, or they would all die.
-At the beginning of their arrival, they thought the natives were barbaric savages.
-After time, they were able to work with them to achieve partnership.
-Their views on the region was that it was a harsh environment, but the natives showed them how to properly use the land, their minds were changed and they understood the area better.
-Their sense of providence was very strong because the believed god sent the natives to help them.

6. William Bradford would have talked more about his personal experiences and how he felt during the whole ordeal. It would have been more focused around him if it had been from his point of view, as opposed to this remarkably unbiased account.

7. Although the treaty is almost fair, there are parts of it that apply to the natives but not the pilgrims, i.e. “that when their men came to them, they should leave their bows and arrows behind them.” This rule of leaving the weapons behind only applies to the Indians, but it never specifies whether or not the pilgrims can bring their weapons. Although it is mostly fair throughout their agreement, it leans slightly in favor of the pilgrims.
