When the first colonists arrived to America, many were interested in creating a society that was innovative, original, but most importantly, virtuous. These people were the Puritans. The Puritans were members of the Protestant denominations of Europe, and they thought of America as a place in which they could create these new, virtuous communities.
This is what the author Perry Miller calls the Puritan's "Errand into the Wilderness." It is difficult to establish whether the Puritans were successful in their purpose. On the one hand, it is true that the Puritans were able to establish a community where dissent was a lot less common than in similar communities. They were also able to establish communities that were generally more peaceful, more equitable and more homogeneous than other communities. Nevertheless, they were not completely successful. Often, repression occured as part of an attempt to maintain peace. This led them to some undemocratic and violent practices. Moreover, the communities were not able to successfully deal with outside pressures.

Dear Diary,
Summer is the time to charge up the spirits. The vacations in the summer helps to groom oneself and involve in other activities so as to charge oneself for the coming year. This summer vacation my parents planned to visit Manali. We were very excited to go there. I and my sister started to pack our bags and started to imagine the level of excitement we'll have. We went there by train. The journey on the train was also very exciting. We saw many places through the window and the many things in the train. After reaching we found that the weather of Manali was very cool and soothing. We went to the temples and explored many places. The hotel room was also very beautiful. We stayed there for two days but was the most memorable trip of ours. Also, my mother bought a yak shawl from there. The shawl is very famous and is exclusively found there. We returned back via train. The trip was very exciting and we enjoyed a lot.
