Extra Credit!!! <--- yeaaa x^D

The two views of New England expressed in "Of Plymouth Plantation" by William Bradford and  "A Description of New England" by John Smith, contrast drastically. Bradford wrote realistically about the New World. Both its good and its hardships. The Puritans that arrived to the New World from "Of Plymouth Plantation" dedicated their journey to their faith. John Smith and his men were greedy and seeked money and power. "A Descriptioin of New England," was seemingly written by John Smith as a peice of propaganda and capitalized and even exaggerated the amazement of the New World, wishing to bring people to it, expanding his own name and power. Unlike the Puritan's faith and loyalities to God, Smith and his men were to themselves.
