Book review for Mayflower I chose a book Mayflower, which is written by Nathaniel Philbrick, who won a National Book Award for "In the Heart of the Sea," and Theodore and Frankhim D Roosevelt Naval History Prize. This book is about the history around the trip Mayflower to see how it connect with the beginning history of America and how the America united. Author has the knowledge to amplify details to give a wider sense of the voyage, that’s the reason why I have chosen this book. For instance, the most impassive part in the book is about Thanksgiving. It was last few days to celebrate. The participants consisted of about 50 colonists and 100 Pokanoket Indians. The feast was happened in the colony. But the ship carrying it sailed in the late falls back to England, so that the narrative ends with the pleasant event. The story gives me a sense of hope and promise. We can see that Philbrick is interested in writing about history of Pilgrims and New England. His writing style is tell reader very detail to illuminate the conflicts between Pilgrims and Indians and fleshes out the characters in the book. The vocabulary that he used is not too difficult to read. He wrote the book with clean prose and eminent fairness. It helps me to create a strong image in mind easily. For example, this book is a story of courage, community and war. Author is not only uncovered a cache of 17th century documents but also detailed portrayal of Pilgrims and the various tribes and leaders. That’s why makes Mayflower so compelling. The grammar he used is also simple formal. I won’t lose easily because author wrote the story step by step. At first, he told the past history and then explains how it relates to current event. For instance, Philbrick’s account of economic and racial issues and the tragedy that ensued rings as true now as it did when the Pilgrims were peopling and depeopling New
