Franklin wants to understand the nature not the belief that God created nature ideas by the Puritans. He was always wanting to wander around nature while Winthrop was inside worshiping God.

Anthony Salari Mrs. Campbell English 101 21 September 2014 Charles and the Pop-Up Tent At eight years old, I knew almost nothing about homeless people, and cared even less.

Charles was his name, and he liked my dog. He didn’t complain about being wet, but he also happily accepted the bright orange pop-up tent that I pulled out of our camping supplies and delivered to his street corner.
John L Holkem Dr. Linda Raughton English 101 March 26, 2011 Essay Four Exposition (Collaboration) Stable In All His Ways The heat of the summer sun was like a weight pressing down on everything.
