If you're going to understand what Puritan literature is, you need to know a thing or two about Puritanism. Both rose to popularity in the 17th century in the New England area of the United States. Puritanism, as a religious movement, believed in cleansing the church of all of its remaining Roman Catholic ties. Its followers, dubbed Puritans, lived by a moral and religious code that not only influenced their own lives, but sought to impact the lives of everyone around them.

Even today, one of the simplest ways to impact the lives of people around the world is through the written word. Puritans understood that and undertook it with a goal of honoring God and the Bible through their work. Not surprisingly, authors of Puritan literature were deeply religious and wrote in such a way to make God became easier for everyone to understand and more relevant in their day-to-day lives. But, what else characterized Puritan literature? Plenty! Let's take a look at some of the central characteristics of this literary movement.

Explanation:

Russian author Varlam Shalamov wrote a short story on Condensed Milk. Shalamov spent 15 years of life in Gulag, a camp where Russian forced-labor was being operated. This story narrates his terrifying experiences.

He was a political person, which shows that he was not a regular criminal but has been arrested as a thief. The treatment given to a thief was better than what he has been through. He was arrested based on suspicion as the Stalin Government found him as a threat though he was considered an enemy amongst the people. This is because of expressing his opinion that the Soviet Regime considered/felt inappropriate. Shalamov demonstrated his brilliance despite his deteriorating health at the camp. He was offered help to escape but wasn't fooled either. He lived amongst people whom he couldn't trust anymore.

While going through a harrowing treatment at the camp, the combatant realized that Shestakov was setting a trap. Shestakov was the only person with an office job with privileges. During those times, being with privileges was considered being good with the government and its people. Shalamov was afraid of Shestakov, as they were the only ones working in the field where Shestakov is trained. Shalamov was incredulous as to who had assigned Sestakov for the training and what he might have been offered?. Everything in the camp had to be paid with either another man's blood or his life.

Shalamov through his brilliance and awareness of the governments and people saved the combatant. He asks for a can of condensed milk as he was starving, pleading to regain his strength to move along with Shestakov and others.

Quote: "There are lots of different tinned foods—meat, fish, fruit, vegetables—but the best of all is milk, condensed milk. Condensed milk doesn’t have to be mixed with boiling water. You eat it with a spoon, or spread it on bread, or swallow it drop by drop from the tin, eating it slowly, watching the bright liquid mass turn yellow with starry little drops of sugar forming on the can. . . ."

After getting 2 cans, Shalamov said to Shestakov that he is not going anywhere. However, Shestakov found himself to be unharmed and nothing happened to him.
