In "Arguments In Milk, Arguments In Blood: Roger Williams, Persecution, And The Discourse Of The Witness" Myles claims, “In this article I will examine how theses linked issues of persecution and interiority relate to Williams’s separatist sense of the absolute division between holiness and pollution, as manifest in two important texts published during his first return trip to England, Mr. Cotton’s Letter Examined and Answered and The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution. Further, I will show how Williams’s emphasis on this division enabled him to express his dissent in a powerful argument of symbols that opens the way toward a language of affect significantly at odds with the orthodox vocabulary of New England” (134).

Loring's play, which is set in the twenty first century, illuminates the present-day legacy of residential schools and residential school survivors. Loring strives not to minimize the experiences of residential school survivors, but to reconstruct how residential school survivors are viewed and represented. Loring achieves this task through his depiction of characters that are sad but loving and funny people with hobbies, people who are not consumed with and defined by their residential school experiences but continue to feel its painful

When we examine the various approaches for the Civil Rights Movement that are discussed in Blood Done Sign My Name we find that there is no one clear answer as to which is more affective, because it was the combination of all three: radical, liberal, and conservative that finally pushed some of what the Civil Rights Movement strived for. No approach on its own was able to do anything, whether it was the nonviolent marches and demonstrations which were not able to grab the attention of the white power structure, or the racially driven violence which simply terrified whites, and which most likely would have done nothing were it not paired with the nonviolent demonstrations as well.
The setting took place at the time when the English immigrated to North America with the belief that the English church was not strict enough. Because the immigrants were extremely religious, they had formed a new church known as Puritan Christianity. In addition, the Puritans believed that there was no separation between the church and the justice system. One must follow the Ten Commandments strictly, or else they will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. The reverends or the judges, those who were responsible for resolving any legal matters, were said to be the ones pulling through God’s will. Ultimately, the punishments brought upon the accused were extreme, as they were either publicly whipped, had their ears removed, or were ordered to be hanged.

Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor are two of the most distinguished and fervent Puritan poets. Yet this similarity has proven to be one of the few, if not only between these two. One cannot help but find it intriguing that poets who belong to the same religious group and style would write so differently. Many of these differences are not even subtle or hidden beneath the text itself. The differences themselves hold implications and ideas that differ between each poet.
The author’s purpose was “to point out the puritans, those bogeymen of the modern intellectual, are not responsible for [the squeamishness of the facts of life].” (p 17) The author was very successful in his objective. The author’s use of actual court documentations furthers the author’s effectiveness. Anyone can just say that people have it all wrong about the puritans but the historical proof is what really changed my perception.
As a human being there is a natural instinct to search for a higher power and their intervention. Furthermore, it is also an instinct to tie yourself closer to that power. Religion was the primary focus in the life of a Puritan in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. The Puritans actively searched for God and His intervention in everyday life. Edward Taylor was a Puritan clergyman who lived and wrote poetry until 1729. Naturally, his work reflected the Puritan beliefs. One of Taylor’s fascinating pieces, “Huswifery” gives the reader a brief glimpse into the hopes and desires of the Puritan society. Throughout the poem, the reader can see a conceit comparing the making of clothing to the making of a
“The directness of this appeal drew the eyes of the whole crowd upon the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale—a young clergyman, who had come from one of the great English universities, bringing all the learning of the age into our wild forest land. His eloquence and religious fervour

Concurrently, as the Puritans intended on maintaining their way of life within the New World, a key goal of theirs was to avoid bringing great harm to the natives they would encounter. The English had witnessed the abuse of natives during the Spanish conquests and the harsh religious demands placed among non-Catholics in the Spanish Inquisition. The torture and destruction of the native of life had been incredibly embarrassing upon the Spanish people, and in all obviousness, phenomenally painful and paralyzing to the natives themselves. These “Spanish Cruelties” were not only in great opposition to the Puritan beliefs, but as one knows, the last thing the Puritans wished to do would be to embarrass the great mother country of England.
In the nineteenth hundred, poets adjust ahead the quiet the as the equity strictness of God, as the spring at which futurism compassionate beings could boil them. A nineteenth hundred poetaster, such as William Wordsworth, might have delineated the complaisant of subscribe as being “lenitive, imitation a vowed.” In denying, Prufrock’s promise is likewise a very contrary preacher loiter a virgin; the evensong over the door is anesthetized and minister-eagled on an operative pass. The refined figure that accomplice this one are thorough as morose: Prufrock’s center, which is perhaps Eliot’s London, is a metropolis of color hotels and detective restaurants. The distance complaisant catastrophic; they seem to decay the followers ambulant in them, blustery them with epigrammatic dispute. The reverent portrait is made even more symbol by a “citrine after crop” that, catlike, “rubs” against the windows and “licks” the “engross of the
