My stomach feels like it’s tightening into a tiny little ball. I feel like throwing up. I keep thinking that I’ll get laughed at

the minute I step off the bus. Instead, I’m greeted by a couple of my friends who were in my English class last year. At that point, it hits me. Ms. Gruwell, my crazy English teacher from last year, is really the only person who made me think of hope for my future. Talking with my friends about our English class and the adventures we had the year before, I began to feel better . . . . I receive my class schedule and the first teacher on the list is Ms. Gruwell in Room 203. I walk in the room and I feel as though all the problems in my life are not important anymore. I am home. Based on this excerpt, what is the author’s purpose for writing? to persuade to teach to heal to entertain

I believe the correct answer is to heal.
We can see in the excerpt how this person went from feeling afraid to feeling very secure and at home. The excerpt is not really trying to persuade us to do anything; I don't see what it can teach us because there is no strong message; if it were to entertain, I assume it would be more lighthearted and happy which it is not in the beginning.

The purpose of the Puritans’ Errand into the Wilderness was to create a perfect godly community that would be a model for the re
AfilCa [17]

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.
