The Pilgrims creation of the Mayflower Compact helped the average citizen have a role in government because the government and laws the Pilgrims chose to have for themselves in the New World was different from the monarchy and laws they were used to in Europe. In the Mayflower Compact, the Pilgrims state that they are going to combine themselves into a civil, body politic.

Unlike many of these settlers, however, he was raised conservatively Anglican and retained these religious views even in the New
So that 's his tale, and by the way, it 's an honor and advantage for the pilgrims to have a Pardoner on the pilgrimage, for he can absolve them of their sins in the event that anyone meets with an untimely death, like falling off their horse. They wouldn 't want to die in a state of sin, right? So the Pardoner invites the pilgrims to step up and buy his relics or purchase a pardon or two to use along the way. He suggests that the Host is the most in need of penitence, so he should be the first to buy something. He can even kiss his
On one hand, both colonies were established in the early to mid 1600’s, which goes to show that their resources and technology were very similar if not the same. The primary purpose behind the voyages were different, as one colony had an economic mindset and the other sought religious freedom, however both of these were underlying motives in each voyage, for the Jamestown colonists desired to spread Christianity and the Plymouth settlers chose North America for its promise of economic opportunities. Both colonies faced the inevitable epidemics, harsh winters, and scarce food. However, the difference that made a profound effect in the difficulties both colonies faced during their initial years was each of their relationships with the Native people of the area they colonized. The Pilgrims, on one hand, established peaceful relations (with the help of Squanto) and focused on growing crops and building a stable settlement as opposed to worrying about an attack, which the Jamestown settlers experienced.

Franny Glass a college student at the young age of twenty from J.D. Salinger’s book Franny and Zooey, has many misconstructions and views on religion and life. These views tend to affect her ways of thinking and how she interacts with others throughout the story. She starts to think lowly of others and tries too hard to impress others in her plays when really she needed to focus on self improving herself. Her obsession with the Jesus Prayer which she reads about in the story The Way of a Pilgrim is constantly used as a sort of escapegoat from her stress and feelings within the world around her. Thus so because of this, Franny misuses the Jesus prayer for her own selfish reasons and not for what it was intended to be.

In what I have read so far from Pilgrims progress it is very straight forward and to me weird, but in an interesting way. I think that have the names of the characters being thing s like stubborn or whatever is different, it gives me no time to make a judgment call about any of the characters. It is like the author tries to make up your mind for you in how the reader should look at the characters, which I guess is fine in going with what the author is trying to do with this piece of writing. I have liked how the author puts in Bible almost story’s and scripture as just normal dialogue and stuff. I like it because I will be reading and then something will sound like something I know
