hand, Anne Hutchinson offers a stark contrast to Roger Williams. While it is true that both held strong views that often times went against Puritan values, there is something that set them apart-gender roles. Indeed, gender heavily influenced both dissenters’ stories in the sense that Anne Hutchinson is portrayed in history in a more negative light because she did not conform to the Puritan image of a respectable woman.

To describe someone as comparable to the Virgin Mary or to Jesus Christ is to say they are the embodiment of absolute purity, virtue, and divine holiness. The Madonna and child embody every beautiful aspect of humanity and are far from one who fell into the sinful and unclean ways of Satan’s clutch. Throughout the novel, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author displays numerous times the abundant similarities placed between his supposedly scandalous main character, Hester Prynne, and

Originally the Constitutional framers did not include a list of specific liberties. These liberties later would become a Bill of Rights. Many of the founding fathers did not believe it was necessary to spell out these individual liberties because they felt that the U.S. Constitution already made it clear what the limits on the government’s powers were.

During the Republican National Convention of 1984 held in Dallas, Texas, protesters voiced their strong opinions against the former president Ronald Reagan. One of protesters, known as Gregory Lee Johnson, set an American flag on flames in order to express his opinions. The Texas law enforcement arrested him due to the fact he broke a state law which prohibits the burning of the American flag. Johnson appealed and escalated the case up to the federal Supreme Court.

Execution of the Innocent-Holocaust vs. 9/11 Although the Holocaust and the attack on the World Trade Center were around 4,882 miles away from each other, they were both terrible events that killed and injured many people. These innocent people that were killed could do absolutely nothing to stop these killings, although some people survived the attacks. Because of this, they just had to sit back and watched their loved ones die right in front of them. Although there are some similarities between
