He became famous as his work consisted of portrait paintings of important figures in colonial New England. His works often depicted certain middle-class subjects.

Always Believe If a person always had god on his or her side would it enable that person to persevere and better overcome challenges? The puritans believed God was always on their side. The puritans had a type of cockiness to them that always get them through difficult obstacles because they thought they were God's chosen people. The idea that the puritans were God's chosen people helped William Bradford in Of Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford and Mary Rowlandson in A Narrative of Captivity by Mary Rowlandson endure harsh challenges in their lifetime.
The majority of colonial ladies portraits were painted by Henrietta Johnson. Nearly all women liked her way she was able to be precise and blend the colors well. They especially liked her way to paint hair on a canvas. In the portrait of Marianne Fleur Du Gue, Johnson blends the colors well that it even looks like the woman has a shadow behind her. Similar to Marianne Fleur Du Gue, the portrait Young Irish Girl shows great detail to her hair with looks like her has curled
During the colonial period numerous new things were taking place, people were gaining independence and literature was developing.

Religious devotion is apparent throughout both books in many different ways. Rowlandson and de Vaca look to God for comfort, to help them meet their needs and to guide them.

Thomas Morton and William Bradford are both famous for their accounts of New England. Thomas Morton and William Bradford practiced different religions.

Some of the worst forms of malice come from love. Abigail Williams from The Crucible by Arthur Miller is a great example of this. Abigail is a young girl who was caught practicing witchcraft in order to make John only love her. In the puritan times this would mean death. So, to combat this she calls multiple townspeople witches, saying she had seen them with the devil.

From 1296 Scotland was without a King and under attack from Edward I there were only two real main contenders for the Scottish throne, John Comyn and Robert Bruce. Bruce and Comyn had sworn an oath of loyalty to Edward I and up until 1306 some may have questioned Robert Bruce’s loyalties regarding Scotland, sometimes he fought for Edward I and sometimes against him. One thing is clear Robert Bruce never wavered from the aspiration of his family to gain the throne of Scotland. (Hodder Gibson pg. 59)
During the Puritan times gender roles in the society were very anti-feminist. Women were required to act as housewives and do womanly duties such as cook, clean, and take care of their children. Women had very little freedom as far as their rights were concerned also. Puritan writers, Anne Bradstreet and Mary Rowlandson both experienced the struggle of the anti-feminist movement. From their writings we see that they both were against anti-feminism and they tried their best to abandon the whole idea.
I believe Henry Kite and Eleanor Rigby did not possess either objective nor subjective expectation of privacy when they decided to preform sexual acts in a public restroom. The only privacy afforded to those in public restrooms is the right to privately use the toilet, not engaged in other activities. A married couple going into a restroom should have aroused the same suspicions as did Henry and Eleanor, but a parent and child or a disabled individual whit a care taker should not arouse suspicion and are completely different circumstances. Unless a disabled individual was seen entering a restroom with someone who is dressed provocatively, then they would arouse enough suspicion for police to be

Can you really imagine life without different personalities and opinions? It would just be the same old boring routine every day. On the other hand, The Crucible, by Arthur Miller has many different characters that really are overwhelming due to all of the unexpected events that occur. This drama really grabs your attention, every sentence that you read makes you want to keep on reading due to the commotion in the dialogue. For instance, I really enjoy the characters because each one of them actually reminds me of people that I know in person and how they act.
The development of many unique styles of such art was also started due to the Harlem Renaissance, much
