Description
I’m hoping you can see my comments in the pdf file. Please let me know if not. Do note that while you use a lot of big language, there is not a lot of substance to the content. In your paper, you will need to provide specific examples and evidence from the primary source (as well as textbook, lecture, or other primary sources) so support your statements. Otherwise, it will remain too broad and vague.I attached the paper, the PDF with the comments and the picture with his message.

In the documentary aspect of “A Documentary Companion to the American Yawp,” Paine’s depiction
of colonial America is in some ways close to some of the historical narratives but, at the same time,
has some differences when compared to the detailed historical investigation. First and foremost, they
point out the economic perspective behind colonization. Thomas, the main character, applies this
idea throughout the course lectures and readings of the textbook to discuss the fact that economic
motives pushed colonization at that time (Paine). This commonality highlights the predominance of
financial incentives in terms of colonial expansion. Hence, the allocation of resources.
Nevertheless, the study tends to use Chapter 5 of the americanyawp.com as a primary source. It is
on “The American Revolution,” and its advantage point can be depicted as limited when they are
avidly pursuing economic motives and cultural interchanges, which might bring about the oblivion of
the violence, dispossession, and exploitation of the people who are marginalized, like the indigenous
and African communities. They lack the additional dimensions required to depict the world of
colonialism in all its complex aspects, unprecedented in brutality (Paine). However, because each
perspective might give an incomplete view of the entire historical context of colonial America, as
discussed in lectures and the textbook, the audience may not get a fully comprehensive historical
picture.
Extra Credit:
Commonality 1: The content of Chapter Five in colonial America seems to be analogous to the
existence of a historical narrative since it represents how colonial governments performed a show of
authority over the land and labor of the indigenous people (Paine). It reflects the discussions in the
seminars and in the textbook readings about the colonization of the states and their ambitions to
grab resources and eventually utilize them.
Commonality 2: Furthermore, the chapter’s renderings on cultural relations in early colonies show
increased research into cultural contact in the New World era, which was dominated by cultural
complexity, as is attested by many scholars (Paine). Such “doctoring” of stories based on personal
cultural narratives could serve as the basis for the analysis of possible conflicts between cultural
exchanges, a point of discussion in the lectures and chapters on colonial America as a mosaic of
conflicting cultural landscapes.

the oblivion of the violence, dispossession, and exploitation of the people who are marginalized like

complex aspects, unprecedented in brutality (Paine). However, because each perspective might give
