Sitting Here At My Computer Hour Of My Life Resolution
926 wordsWhile I'm sitting here at my computer, in my air conditioned home, with the radio blaring and the t. v. on downstairs, I try to imagine how life was as a young Puritan. To be honest, I don't think I could live a week the way they do. I could try but it would be excruciatingly difficult. The Puritans didn't have all the luxuries we have today.

I have found through careful reading that the illustration of the proposal is not just an instance of the...
