Of Plymouth Plantation“The Starving Time” By: Racheal Causer Amber Bishop Kirstie Nicols
Introduction Our section was about how most of the people were contracting sicknesses and most were dying because of them. There were very few who survived in our section of the story and were well enough to take care of the sick and dying. The people were sick, hungry, and they just wanted to get better…
“..being infected with scurvy and other diseases which this long voyage and their inaccommodateconditionhad brought upon them.”
“So as there died some times two or three of a day in the foresaid time, that of 100 and odd persons, scarce fifty remained.”
“..there was but six or seven sound persons who to their great commendations, be it spoken, spared no pains night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health fetched them wood, made them fires, washed their loathsome clothes, clothed and unclothed them…”
Conclusion/Summary The section “The Starving Time” in the story Of Plymouth Plantation focuses mainly on when the people were going through a bad time. They were contracting sicknesses and having trouble staying healthy. Many were dying, but there was about six or seven who were fine and took care of the sick.
