By being different you were considered to be, “God’s mistake” and were victimized for your deformity and sent to live in the Fringes. In the novel, we recognize a similarity that parallels our modern society, yet in the realm of the novel, punishments and consequences are significantly more severe. These similarities and differences are demonstrated throughout the novel, by the actions of individuals; their moral values and beliefs dealing with religion, and the concept of love. Growing up in the twenty-first century, many are very accepting of the diverse and unique people there are. By being a different race, worshipping another religion, or by looking a different way, people are raised to be culturally accepting of others.
Leaders of the Church were given excessive power. This can be seen in John Cotton’s “Limitation of Government”. In power, magistrates would not tolerate suggestion of a separation of church and state, like Rogers Williams advocated in “A Plea for Religious Liberty”. Roger Williams was banished to Rhode Island for “heathen”. There was a synergy between politics and religion, as is evidenced in Nathaniel Ward’s “the Simple Cobbler of Aggawam”, in Puritan society.
Jamestown and Plymouth Plantation are both from England. They were both introduced to new land. One was more into religious things and the other was more into profit. In the story of jamestown, he wrote in third person so he can talk about himself By showing their similarities and differences you can understand how the colonies are different in their own ways. One difference that jamestown and plymouth is that smith is so full of pride and bradford is very humbles.

The Crucible by Arthur Miller This paper discusses The Crucible by Arthur Miller, as well as examines the character of Reverend Hale in the play. Through the prose passages that interrupt the dialogue and action of the play, Miller establishes the particular quality of Salem society that makes it especially receptive to the repression and panic of the witch trials. The Puritan life in Salem is rigid and somber, allowing little room for persons to break from the monotony and strict work ethic that dominated the close-knit society. Furthermore, the Puritan religious ethic permeated all aspects of society, promoting safeguards
If they did not, God would turn from them and they would have an example made of them. Religion was to also be kept in mind during the setting of wages and price regulations (doc. E). Religion was important in the Chesapeake, as well, but not as important as it was in the New England colonies. While New England was Puritan, the Chesapeake colonies were primarily Anglican.
While I do not completely agree with his whole book, Shane Claiborne speaks some truths on many ugly topics of our society. I agree with him that there needs to be a higher concern in our society for the less fortunate, poor, and those who do not have a voice in local government. He speaks for an alternative thinking, conveying an idea that the traditional church isolates itself from the poor and disenfranchises many LGBT people. He communicates to his audience; it is okay to question a church that may be wrong in their views or traditions. I believe our generation subjects themselves to staying neutral on controversial topics.
Question 1: Anne Hutchinson was a threat to Puritan society in a combination of ways that other dissenters were not, which is the reason she was banished. The Puritan society in Massachusetts was established not so that people can exercise freedom of religion, but only so the Puritans can freely exercise their religion. These were a very intolerant people of any one else’s religious belief; and, their leaders did everything possible to keep other religions from prospering. Their main belief was that the entire community had to follow God’s laws as interpreted by their leaders and if they did then God would reward them. However, if the entire community did not follow God’s laws then the entire community would be punished.

Roger Williams Roger Williams was basically the first rebel against the divine church order. During his life he was labeled as a spreader of intellectual infections. Afterwards he has been hailed as the first “flower” of Enlightenment’s spring. Most of his ideas were mainly in a religious context, but some were also engaged in debates on political liberty that would eventually fire the American Revolution. When Puritans saw good and evil, Williams saw people, usually friends with intelligence, moral sense, and a workable political system based on consensus.
There comes a point when the way we perceive things changes unexpectedly; a point when we come to a sudden realization that things aren’t always the way we perceive them. “Still I kept waiting to see Jesus” (Hughes 5). Hughes eventually came to a sudden realization that Jesus will not physically come to save him. After Hughes realized that Jesus was more spiritual than physical, he saved himself by pretending to see Jesus. He was saved not by his love for Jesus like the congregation had probably hoped, but instead by his desire to conform, obey and
