    Puritan’s harsh beliefs represented the beginning of the Nineteenth Century in the newly colonized America. Their community ruled with an iron fist: unforgiving, pitiless, stern.

    Our first unit we looked at was short stories, poems and songs. We figured out how some songs have similar messages to some short stories. Colbie Caillat’s song ‘Try’ is similar in many ways to Alessia Cara’s ‘Scars to your beautiful’ because they both state that society has made the ‘perfect person’ that girls should look up to and make themselves that person. Both songs also connect with the short story ‘Harrison Bergeron’ by Kurt Vonnegut because the handicaps placed on people link to girls wearing makeup to be ‘pretty’ like someone else.
