This text, while loaded with good information about the Pilgrims and the settlement at Plymouth Rock, has a counterpoint delivered by two young scamps.  Their outlook and outtake on events is pretty funny.  They almost desensitize the reader making ones’ memory of historical accounts seem in a way maybe more real.  For example,  in the construction of the communal meeting house where everybody assisted, one of the young scamps  says,”Hey, this is the new world. Aren’t there child labor laws?”  These asides to the reader from these BAD  pilgrims make the text quite funny and helps question our memories from history lessons past.
