“…Janie looked down on him and felt a self-crushing love. So her soul crawled out of her hiding place” (128). Hurston uses this metaphor to emphasize the fact that Janie could never really be herself and that now she finally found someone who would let her be who she wanted to be. As a reader I feel like Janie is finally content with herself and is happy enough to where she can be herself around someone. Teacake made her realize what love was all about and it opened her eyes to what love could have been like in her prior marriages with Logan and Joe.
In regards, politics go, the Puritans had some interesting views. As John Winthrop, in “a modell of Christian charity” said, the Puritans believed their moral and divine cause, i.e. creating a community of righteous Christians gave them justification to defeat violent “heathens” often times without fair treaty, negotiation, or any other semblance of normal politic. Indeed, they truly believed themselves to be a model for Christianity that the whole world would watching, as is exemplified in the “modell of a Christian charity”. Leaders of the Church were given excessive power.
Also, she does not feel guilty that she allowed Newt to kiss him and felt no guilt even though she is about to get married.Despite Catherine dismissing Newt's perceptions of her, she still ends up in his arms at the end of the story. In the story, she says (2) " I'm extremely fond of you as a friend, but it's just too late." And when she admits that women aren't very clever at hiding love and Newt starts to see love. She emphasizes that she does indeed love him but it's just too late to come to the consensus. Us readers immediately pick up the love Newt has for Catherine.
Bradstreet’s poem, “To My Dear and Loving Husband” argues how an individual should live life on Earth opposed to the Puritan belief that one should devote all their time to God in order to seek salvation. Bradstreet opens up with the paradox: “If ever two were one, then surely we.” This paradox defies logic because it is impossible for two individuals to be one. It emphasizes Bradstreet’s love to her husband because she is stating that their love was beyond logic connoting that her love for her husband wasn’t rational, that it was something more. This brings on the ideology of marital unity, which their souls were joined together into one entity opposed to a representation of two individual beings, emphasizing that their love was everlasting. This denounces Puritan belief because only one individual was above reasoning and rationalization, God.
They then took her to court. The least thing they fear doing is breaking one of the ten commandments. If you did not know the ten commandments people thought you were being taken over by the devil. They were very passionate about their religion. If I were to live in the Puritan times I would be living in a peaceful area with my family I would still worship God in my house but will be no part of any drama.
You are a treasure that no thing can measure; You have been manna for our souls. We hold you so dear; we wish you could stay near; But God has given you loftier goals. So as today we sorrowfully part, It is from deep within our hears That we wish you God’s blessings forevermore. And some day, if it’s God’s will, We will all make it over the hil And happily meet you at Heaven’s
Part A One individual world leader that made a significant social change to the world was Martin Luther. Martin Luther brought about changes to the Catholic Religion. Martin Luther saw that people of an uneducated background and the lower pay scale were being taken advanced of by members of the Catholic Religion and church. The people were informed that if they paid monetary payments to the Catholic Church that it would save them from their sins and would save them from going to hell. Martin thought that this was sinful and decided to begin his own church.
Martin Luther was a well-educated German monk who developed strong opinions against the Roman Catholic Church. Luther wanted an end to the greed which was leading the Church away from the true message of Christ. Luther attempted to allow christians to focus more God's mercy than his judgements. Martin Luther had strong foundations for a Reformation, which he never even planned on leading. Luther was confident and passionate about what he believed.
“[The church] should be purified of their unregenerate members…heretical clergymen…bishops and archbishops, but they were nevertheless churches and must be embraced as churches” (Morgan 31). These non-separating Puritans made it their goal to create a superlative Christian community in the New World. In doing so they hoped to serve as an example to encourage reform within the Church of England. Morgan, author of The Puritan Dilemma, describes the non-separating Puritans overall view of the Church of England to be more positive than negative. “[The church] had bought the means of salvation to many of their members and might still do so” (Morgan 31).
