Some of the conflicts which the Americans felt about Puritan influences are:

  • That it contained cruel beliefs
  • They were at odds at whether predestination was viable and some did not believe.

<h3>What is Puritanism?</h3>

This refers to the religious sect that broke away from England due to religious persecution and fled to American colonies to continue their religion.

Hence, we can see that based on the opinions of Nathaniel Hawthorne that were contained in <em>The Scarlet Letter</em>, the Americans had mixed feelings and they thought that their religious beliefs would have an impact on their national identity.

Some of the Puritan beliefs that should be kept are:

  • The Holy Spirit is the energizing instrument of salvation
  • God needs a covenant relationship for redemption from sins.

Some of the Puritan beliefs that should be resisted or left out are:

  • Limited atonement
  • Total depravity

What type of media was used to cover the assassination of John f kennedy
Anna71 [15]

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, took place in a radically different era. The adoption of radio in the 1920s and television in the 1950s created a nationwide audience for news. Word of the shooting in Dallas spread within minutes over both broadcast media. People not only heard about the tragedy in their homes or workplaces, but the development of affordable portable radio receivers meant that people in cars or in other outdoor areas could also listen to the latest bulletins. The broadcast audiences then verbally spread the news to other people directly or via telephone.

Ethan Frome test please check my answers and correct if they are wrong
natali 33 [55]
4. is correct 
11. It's more that Zeena is sick and was once beautiful and helpful (helped Ethan's mom ) and now while she is sick he is looking at the younger Maddie that is helping Zeena around the house-- it is kind of ironic.
12. Wharton is def. using foreshadowing, but in general she set up a frame for her narrative.
14. Yes, but also that he strikes Zeena to be a monster and darkness while Mattie is this light at the end of the tunnel. He feels stuck in the relationship and only stays because Zeena is sick and he is poor, otherwise, he would have left long before.
