Entry A. William Bradford: Cartoon

The novel Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford connects to the Rio Grande cartoon because of the connections in immigration. In Of Plymouth Plantation the passengers on the Mayflower come to America to get away from persucution in England. This relates to the cartoon because Mexicans are coming over to America. Furthermore, the Indians did not accept the passengers on the Mayflower. Today, illustrated in the cartoon, this is like a lot of the Americans that do not like immigrants. The novel and cartoon are similar because immigration is thought to be a good thing to the immigrants to get a better lifestyle and then it is thought to be bad by some Americans who lose their jobs but never stop to think about what others have to go through.
