Essay On Anna's Journey To Maryland

661 Words3 Pages

Long ago in 1634, the King of England, Charles I, provoked many people to want to leave to the New World, due to the monarchy system. Anna, one of the miserable people under the King’s rule, was just like everyone else and couldn’t stand to live there anymore. Kammie, her sister, and Kathryn, her mom, had been listening to George Calvert in Maryland, one of the few southern colonies, and liked what he had to say. As a family, they made the decision to journey to Maryland, because of the representative government, strong economy, good climate, and especially the catholicism. At the crack of dawn, Anna left to get their dad’s old boat he used before he passed, that could fit about five people; while their mom and Kammie collected the goods …show more content…

The taken down sail flew off the pole, and shortly after the pole followed it into the choppy waters. Over the course of six hours, many things were tossed and thrown into the water by the harsh rain and winds, but luckily no essential items were lost. Even though some damaged was caused, the current had picked up and had the boat moving faster. Two weeks later of uncomplicated sailing, Anna, Kammie, and Kathryn saw land and realized this meant that they have successfully made it to Maryland! Lord Baltimore, also know has George Calvert, was welcoming newly arrived voyagers to land and led them to St. Mary’s Catholic Church to get vital items needed to start a new life. There were few people in the church, but one priest approached them and told them where they would be staying until they can make enough money to live off of. Anna already loved it here, and couldn't wait to start a new life. They were thankful that they had picked Maryland, due to the fact that they favored puritans in Massachusetts and Georgia is where people from England go when they are in debt. Anna helped her family out by fishing on the dock everyday with her sister, Kammie. While they did this, their mom was a stay at home mom and tried to make their temporary house feel like

  • The Captive Hasteth Analysis

    233 Words  | 1 Pages

    In “The Captive Exile Hasteth,” William J. Scheick exemplifies the content that the colonists showed towards English law. At a particular point in his work, Scheick explains, “the attraction to England, as the traditional center of cultural authority remained strong among Puritan colonists” (Scheick 183). As the essay progresses, he begins to approach a different side. Scheick writes about how Charles II, the king of England in the late 1600’s, brought on a shadow of displeasure among the colonists. After an incident regarding the loss of the Massachusetts Bay Charter, “the Puritan colonies felt increasingly isolated” (Scheick 185).

    Thus, many Puritans left England in April 1630 to travel to the New World (Martin 1984: 20) to found a “godly community” (Westerkamp 1999: 2). The ships arrived in the wilderness, a harsh place that required strict rules and religious guidance and “Faith in God’s providential plan” to endure the circumstances (Martin 1984:4). This reassurance had already taken place on their way to the New World when John Winthrop delivered his speech, according to which the Puritan community was as a “City upon a hill” representing a model of “biblical commonwealth”(Westerkamp 1999:10). Consequently, the community established fixed power relations wielding much authority to the ministers who often also were medical authorities and, consequently, caused an intersection of spiritual and medial issues (Lutes 1997: 314). The announcements of the Puritan misters influenced the community strongly since the people’s interpretations were based on them (Lutes 1997: 313).
