religious dissenter who paved the way for
religious freedom in the strictly Puritan
environment of New England. She was a woman who

women in Puritan society by expressing her own
religious convictions. In her path to success,
however, Anne was convicted of the crime of
expressing her religious beliefs that were

Morally Permissible Mary Anne

The fundamental question that most philosophers
agree on when discussing abortion is, How do you
determine the humanity of a being (Noonan, p.
117)? Or, in other words, when does a being
acquire a right to life? The answer to these
questions will determine when it is, if ever,
morally acceptable to abort a fetus. There are
many different answers varying from one extreme to
another. Conservatives believe that infants
acquire their rights to life at the moment of
conception while the liberals feel...

Red Dress Held Back

of the absence of luxury in his life, Peter was
nevertheless happy to return home to his loving
lady after a grueling day of masonry. Spending
eight hours on your knees, hunched over a slab of

Analysis Of Anne Sexton Poem Her Kind
1,717 words
Anne Sexton was a poet and a woman, but most
importantly, she was an outcast. Subjected to
nervous breakdowns and admitted to a
neuropsychiatry hospital, Sexton must have been
all too familiar with the staring eyes and the
judging minds of the public. Just being a woman in
today's world often can be enough to degrade a
person in the public's eye, let alone being
labeled as a crazy woman. But Anne Sexton did not
let society remain unchallenged in its views. She
voiced a different opinion of women...

The Trial Of Anne Hutchinson
928 words
Anne Hutchinson was a threat to the ideals of the
Puritan community because she would not subjugate
her own personal convictions and beliefs to those
held by the ministers and the civil authority. She
was thought of as having broken covenant with the
community by associating with those already banned
and by freely speaking her differing ideas. These
actions were compounded by the fact that she was a
strong, well-spoken, charismatic individual.
Anne's strength can be seen at the beginning of

Sexton wrote explicitly about menstruation,

mythology, fairy tales, and Christian motifs, and

Church Of England Head Of The Church
3,779 words
Henry VIII King of England, born 28 June, 1491;
died 28 January, 1547. He was the second son and
third child of his father, Henry VII. His elder
brother Arthur died in April, 1502, and
consequently Henry became heir to the throne when
he was not yet quite eleven years old. It has been
asserted that Henrys interest in theological
questions was due to the bias of his early
education, since he had at first been destined by
his father for the Church. But a child of eleven
can hardly have formed life...

Song Tra Bong Things They Carried

In Timothy Obrien's novel, The Things They
Carried, a number of insightful themes are
forwarded by the author. One theme in particular
interests me the most; the subject area is how
people handle their emotions through the avoidance
or distortion of reality. Specifically, throughout
the novel a number of characters respond to the
emotionally charged realities they are confronted
with in one of two major ways, distortion or
escapism. This pattern, shown throughout the
novel, surveys one manner in...
