    In Nathaniel Philbrick’s narrative Mayflower, he tells the story of the struggle and hardships of a group of people who cross the ocean to find personal and religious freedom in a new land. These people are the Pilgrims, but they are much different from the stereotypical pilgrims that we think of today. Philbrick tells the story of the Pilgrims struggle to survive in their first few months, their first meetings with and the rise and eventual fall of the alliance between the Native Americans and the Pilgrims. I found the book to be very interesting when I read it, and though it was boring or slow at times, it provided a great deal of intriguing information that I never knew before about the story of the Pilgrims and their long, treacherous…

    In his piece, Thomas Paine strongly expresses a persuasive outlook as to why the colonists should fight for their independence. He believes that their willing right to be free shall not be put aside and that their abilities to achieve their freedom may be affected by factors such as God, the British, or even just simply the fact that Paine described the reasoning to get the colonists to fight in such an expressive way. Throughout this piece, Paine’s goal was to persuade the colonists to strive for liberty. To support his argument, Paine utilizes religious beliefs, descriptive language, and the recognition of the counter argument. To begin with, the author points to religious beliefs to demonstrate the relation God has on the colonists…

    History of the Colony and Province of Massachusetts Bay: The Massachusetts Bay Colony Case against Anne Hutchinson(1637), vol. II, 1767 (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1936), pp. 366–84. In this book, Thomas Hutchinson uses the same dialogue of the antinomian controversy of 1636-1638 that broke out in the months of a religious revival led by Cotton when a spiritual melancholy gripped the colonists. Hutchinson had been holding biweekly devotional meetings to discuss Cotton’s sermons at her home, which drew as many. She brought attention to Cotton’s spirit-centered theology, claiming him and her brother-in-law John Wheelwright as true Christian ministers against the “legal” preachers who taught that a moral life was sufficient grounds for salvation.…

    It is important to remember the time period in which it was quite tolerant to do so, considering the the culture and the Biblical and legal consequences that were used. What now is mainly a private matter, to Puritans was much more. The Puritans saw no difference between sin and crime. The society believes Hester should have been punished even more so. Hawthorne gives the reader very little information about Hester prior to her accusation.…

    For example, Hawthorne reveals that Hester’s fellow Puritans left her “alone in the world” when they sent her away with the scarlet letter as a “sole treasure” to “keep her heart alive” by constantly reminding her of her adultery. Hester counters, however, that despite the Puritan’s intent to punish her with the scarlet reminder of her sin, Pearl prevailed as her true “sole treasure” who “keep[s] her heart alive” by bringing her “happiness” (104). The author next details that Hester challenges the “God” of the Puritan religion when she “confront[s]” the “influence[d]” “old Puritan magistrate” with a “fierce expression”, her immense aggression in turn implying that her rage must also stem from suppressed resentment for their religion (104). Lastly, the author mentions that Hester argues that instead of God damning her with Pearl as a form of “retribution” like the Puritans believe, “God gave [her] the child in requital of [everything] [that the Puritans]… [took] from [her]” (104). By recounting this, Hawthorne provides another instance of Hester contradicting the religion when she suggests that God gave her Pearl, the very person that drives the Puritans penalize the young woman, to “keep her in life” in order to compensate for the Puritan religion stripping Hester of her individuality (104).…

    3 "Do you see that woman with the embroidered badge? " they would say to strangers. "It is our Hester,--the town's own Hester,--who is so kind to the poor, so helpful to the sick, so comfortable to the afflicted!" Then, it is true, the propensity of human nature to tell the very worst of itself, when embodied in the person of another, would constrain them to whisper the black scandal of bygone years” (Hawthorne 124). Seven years had passed since Hester Prynne’s sin, and the town’s fathers were considering the removal of her scarlet letter.…

    The stories of losses and struggles, fights for religion and conquests of new land surge through the colonies of the New World in the 1600s. Puritans and Pilgrims both have struggles and successes flowing through their history that is traced to their independent motivations as well as overlapping motivators. Puritans focus on generating a purer Church of England that breaks away from the interventions of hierarchy in the England faith. The Pilgrims work to create a better life in the newly formed colony while keeping the thought of religious toleration. Both groups find it hard to view the Native Americans as equal to them, although the Pilgrims do accept Natives due to the toleration of religion that they express.…

    The Mayflower explorers, along with their leader, William Bradford, knew of the dangers they would soon come to face, but the dissenters put their lives entirely in the hands of their faith in God. The pilgrims mapped out the pros and cons of leaving their home for the promise of something better over-seas. They endured extreme weather conditions traveling to the free world across the Atlantic. Bradford explains that half of the dissenters died from extreme conditions, the harsh winter, before they could make it to the religiously free land; these brave pilgrims became martyrs. For instance, Bradford explains, “The spring now approaching, it pleased God the mortality began to cease amongst them, and the sick and lame recovered apace, which put as it were new life into them; though they had borne their sad affliction with much patience & contentedness, as I think any people could do.…

    An essential part of human behavior is the desire to mold personal identities so that we can differentiate ourselves and develop personal values, morals, and goals. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne, this particular significance of identity is introduced alongside the novel’s characters and protagonist, Hester Prynne. Hester is part of the Puritan, Massachusetts Bay Colony where “religion and law were almost identical” (Hawthorne 71). For her sin, committing adultery, Hester is condemned to carry the Scarlet Letter and its burdens. This overarching conflict involving punishment and sin tests the identities of characters like Chillingworth, Dimmesdale, and Hester—and pushes them to act in certain ways.…

    In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne paints the image of a Puritan Boston which is at best spiritually zealous, and at worse, legalistic. Legalism, in its religious sense, is defined as “the judging of conduct in terms of adherence to precise laws...the doctrine that salvation is gained through good works” (“Legalism.”). In the novel, Hawthorne neither idealizes nor demonizes the Puritans as a whole, although he does attack specific instances of legalism and self-righteousness. Throughout his story The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne critiques legalism in order to advocate the full Christian Gospel of law and grace... When Hester is punished on the scaffold at the start of the novel, legalism is evident in the harsh responses of the townspeople.…
