Was Anne Hutchinson a Threat to Puritan Elite?
ââ¬Å"Was Anne Hutchinson a threat to the Puritan elite? â⬠LaToya McSwain US History 1 November 20, 2012 Believing that the Church of England had strayed too far from its original doctrine, disgruntled group of churchgoers decided to withdraw from the church. In an effort to escape persecution they fled to America. This group became known as the Puritans. Though, in their opinion, the church had strayed from Godââ¬â¢s word, they held firm to their position that the Bible was Godââ¬â¢s blueprint for daily living.The Puritans believed the church of that day was too saturated with irrelevancy; therefore, in an effort to purify religion, they felt the need to peel off those irrelevant formalities. Hence, the name Puritans-purifying their religion, as well as, their lives. Their strong spiritual convictions served as both a blessing and a curse. It served as a blessing in that it unified them and provided hope during hardships. It served as a curse in that they developed a so mewhat judgmental view of others as worldly if their actions didnââ¬â¢t coincide with the Puritan faith.There is also the idea of ââ¬Å"pre-destinationâ⬠. Each individualââ¬â¢s lifestyle indicated your standing with God. If you were well off, it was assumed you were in good standing with God. If you were poor, you obviously were not in good standing with God. Placement in heaven and hell was already pre-determined by God and no one knew their destiny. This is uncertainty is what kept the Puritans on the straight and narrow path. If the way of Puritan life is not strictly adhered to, individuals face harsh criticism and discipline-both by the church and society.One of the first American feminist, Anne Hutchinson, believed each individual should have the right to freedom of worship, speech, and thought. She did not deviate from her beliefs, ethics, or ideas no matter what it would cost her. There was never any intention to make anyone angry or hurt anyoneââ¬â¢s feelings with her beliefs. Anne Hutchinson was born in a town called Alford, Lincolnshire, England in July, day unknown, 1591. Her birth name was Anne Marbury. She was born to Francis Marbury, a deacon, and Bridget Dryden.Her father, a deacon at Christ Church, Cambridge, was arrested due to his open deplore of the clergyââ¬â¢s lack of competence. He was in jail for a year for his ideas and abrasive words. Because of Anneââ¬â¢s fatherââ¬â¢s beliefs, she took a strong liking to religion very young in her life. By age 21, she was married to Will Hutchinson. During her life, she bore 15 children with her husband. She and her family followed the word and teaching of John Cotton, Protestant minister. John Cotton had some of the same ideas her father had when she was growing up, but now these same ideas and teachings were accepted by Puritanism.

The Return: Shadow Souls Chapter 2
Elena burst out of the backseat of the Jaguar and ran a little way from the car before turning to see what had fallen on top of it. What had fallen was Matt. He was in the process of struggling to get up off his back. ââ¬Å"Matt ââ¬â oh, my God! Are you all right? Are you hurt?â⬠Elena cried at the same time as Matt was shouting in tones of anguish: ââ¬Å"Elena ââ¬â oh, my God! Is the Jag all right? Is it hurt?â⬠ââ¬Å"Matt, are you crazy? Did you hit your head?â⬠ââ¬Å"Are there any scratches? Does the moonroof still work?â⬠ââ¬Å"No scratches. The moonroof is fine.â⬠Elena had no idea if the moonroof worked, but she realized that Matt was raving, off his head. He was trying to get down without getting any mud on the Jag, but he was handicapped since his legs and feet were covered with mud. Getting off of the car without using his feet was proving difficult. Meanwhile, Elena was looking around. She herself had once fallen from the sky, yes, but she had been dead for six months first and had arrived naked, and Matt fulfilled neither requirement. She had a more prosaic explanation in mind. And there it was, lounging against a yellowwood tree and eyeing the scene with a very slight, wicked smile. Damon. He was compact; not as tall as Stefan, but with an indefinable aura of menace that more than made up for it. He was as immaculately dressed as always: black Armani jeans, black shirt, black leather jacket, and black boots, which all went with his carelessly windblown dark hair and his black eyes. Right now, he made Elena acutely aware that she was wearing a long white nightgown that she had brought with the idea that she could change her clothes underneath it if necessary while they were camping. The problem was that she usually did this just at dawn, and today writing in her diary had distracted her. And all at once the nightgown wasn't the correct attire for an early-morning fight with Damon. It wasn't sheer, being more akin to flannel than to nylon, but it was lacy, especially around the neck. Lace around a pretty neck to a vampire ââ¬â as Damon had told her ââ¬â was like a waving red cloak in front of a raging bull. Elena crossed her arms over her chest. She also tried to make sure that her aura was pulled in decorously. ââ¬Å"You look like Wendy,â⬠Damon said, and his smile was wicked, flashing, and definitely appreciative. He cocked his head to the side coaxingly. Elena refused to be coaxed. ââ¬Å"Wendy who?â⬠she said, and at just that moment remembered the last name of the young girl in Peter Pan, and winced inwardly. Elena had always been good at repartee of this kind. The problem was that Damon was better. ââ¬Å"Why, Wendyâ⬠¦Darling,â⬠Damon said, and his voice was a caress. Elena felt an inward shiver. Damon had promised not to Influence her ââ¬â to use his telepathic powers to cloud or manipulate her mind. But sometimes it felt as if he got awfully close to the line. Yes, it was definitely Damon's fault, Elena thought. She didn't have any feelings for him that were ââ¬â well, that were anything other than sisterly. But Damon never gave up, no matter how many times she rejected him. Behind Elena was a thump and squelch that undoubtedly meant Matt had finally gotten off the roof of the Jag. He jumped into the fray immediately. ââ¬Å"Don't call Elena, Elena darling!â⬠he shouted, continuing as he turned to Elena, ââ¬Å"Wendy's probably the name of his latest little girlfriend. And ââ¬â and ââ¬â and do you know what he did? How he woke me up this morning?â⬠Matt was quivering with indignation. ââ¬Å"He picked you up and threw you on top of the car?â⬠Elena hazarded. She talked over her shoulder to Matt because there was a faint morning breeze that tended to mold her nightgown to her body. She didn't want Damon behind her just now. ââ¬Å"No! I mean, yes! No and yes! But ââ¬â when he did, he didn't even bother to use his hands! He just went like thisâ⬠ââ¬â Matt waved an arm ââ¬â ââ¬Å"and first I got dropped into a mud hole and next thing I know I got dropped on the Jag. It could have broken the moonroof ââ¬â or me! And now I'm all muddy,â⬠Matt added, examining himself with disgust, as if it had only just occurred to him. Damon spoke up. ââ¬Å"And why did I pick you up and put you down again? What were you actually doing at the time when I put some distance between us?â⬠Matt flushed to the roots of his fair hair. His normally tranquil blue eyes were blazing. ââ¬Å"I was holding a stick,â⬠he said defiantly. ââ¬Å"A stick. A stick like the kind you find along the roadside? That kind of stick?â⬠ââ¬Å"I did pick it up along the roadside, yes!â⬠Still defiant. ââ¬Å"But then something strange seems to have happened to it.â⬠From nowhere that Elena could see, Damon suddenly produced a very long, and very sturdy-looking stake, with one end that had been whittled to an extremely sharp point. It had definitely been carved from hardwood: oak from the look of it. While Damon was examining his ââ¬Å"stickâ⬠from all sides with a look of acute bafflement, Elena turned on a sputtering Matt. ââ¬Å"Matt!â⬠she said reproachfully. This was definitely a low point in the cold war between the two boys. ââ¬Å"I just thought,â⬠Matt went on stubbornly, ââ¬Å"that it might be a good idea. Since I'm sleeping outdoors at night and aâ⬠¦another vampire might come along.â⬠Elena had already turned again and was making appeasing noises at Damon when Matt burst out afresh. ââ¬Å"Tell her how you actually woke me up!â⬠he said explosively. Then, without giving Damon a chance to say anything, he continued, ââ¬Å"I was just opening my eyes when he dropped this on me!â⬠Matt squelched over to Elena, holding something up. Elena, truly at a loss, took it from him, turning it over. It seemed to be a pencil stub, but it was discolored dark reddish-brown. ââ¬Å"He dropped that on me and said ââ¬Ëscratch off two,'â⬠Matt said. ââ¬Å"He'd killed two people ââ¬â and he was bragging about it!â⬠Elena suddenly didn't want to be holding the pencil anymore. ââ¬Å"Damon!â⬠she said in a cry of real anguish, as she tried to make something out of his no-expression expression. ââ¬Å"Damon ââ¬â you didn't ââ¬â not really ââ¬â ââ¬Å" ââ¬Å"Don't beg him, Elena. The thing we've got to do ââ¬â ââ¬Å" ââ¬Å"If anybody would let me get a word in,â⬠Damon said, now sounding truly exasperated, ââ¬Å"I might mention that before I could explain about the pencil someone attempted to stake me on the spot, even before getting out of his sleeping bag. And what I was going to say next was that they weren't people. They were vampires, thugs, hired muscle ââ¬â but these were possessed by Shinichi's malach. And they were on our trail. They'd gotten as far as Warren, Kentucky, probably by asking questions about the car. We're definitely going to have to get rid of it.â⬠ââ¬Å"No!â⬠Matt shouted defensively. ââ¬Å"This car ââ¬â this car means something to Stefan and Elena.â⬠ââ¬Å"This car means something to you,â⬠Damon corrected. ââ¬Å"And I might point out that I had to leave my Ferrari in a creek just so we could take you on this little expedition.â⬠Elena held up her hand. She didn't want to hear any more. She did have feelings for the car. It was big and brilliantly red and flashy and buoyant ââ¬â and it expressed how she and Stefan had been feeling on the day that he bought it for her, celebrating the start of their new life together. Just looking at it made her remember the day, and the weight of Stefan's arm around her shoulder and the way he'd looked down at her, when she'd looked up at him ââ¬â his green eyes sparkling with mischief and the joy of getting her something she really wanted. To Elena's embarrassment and fury, she found that she was shaking slightly, and that her own eyes were full of tears. ââ¬Å"You see,â⬠Matt said, glaring at Damon. ââ¬Å"Now you're making her cry.â⬠ââ¬Å"I am? I'm not the one who mentioned my dear departed younger brother,â⬠Damon said urbanely. ââ¬Å"Just stop it! Right now! Both of you,â⬠Elena shouted, trying to find her composure. ââ¬Å"And I don't want this pencil, if you don't mind,â⬠she added, holding it at arm's length. When Damon took it, Elena wiped her hands on her nightgown, feeling vaguely light-headed. She shivered, thinking of the vampires on their trail. And then, suddenly, as she swayed, there was a warm, strong arm around her and Damon's voice beside her saying, ââ¬Å"What she needs is some fresh air, and I'm going to give it to her.â⬠Abruptly Elena was weightless and she was in Damon's arms and they were going higher. ââ¬Å"Damon, could you please put me down?â⬠ââ¬Å"Right now, darling? It's quite a distanceâ⬠¦Ã¢â¬ Elena continued to remonstrate with Damon, but she could tell that he had tuned her out. And the cool morning air was clearing her head a bit, although it also made her shake. She tried to stop the shivering, but couldn't help it. Damon glanced down at her and to her surprise, looking completely serious, began to make motions as if to take his jacket off. Elena hastily said, ââ¬Å"No, no ââ¬â you just drive ââ¬â fly, I mean, and I'll hang on.â⬠ââ¬Å"And watch for low-going seagulls,â⬠Damon said solemnly, but with a quirk at the side of his mouth. Elena had to turn her face away because she was in danger of laughing. ââ¬Å"So, just when did you learn you could pick people up and drop them on cars?â⬠she inquired. ââ¬Å"Oh, just recently. It was like flying: a challenge. And you know I like challenges.â⬠He was looking down at her with mischief in his eyes, those black on black eyes with such long lashes that they were wasted on a boy. Elena felt as light as if she were dandelion fluff, but also a little light-headed, almost tipsy. She was much warmer now, because ââ¬â she realized ââ¬â Damon had enfolded her in his aura, which was warm. Not just in temperature, either, but warm with a heady, almost drunken appreciation, as he took her in, her eyes and her face and her hair floating weightlessly in a cloud of gold around her shoulders. Elena couldn't help but blush, and she almost heard his thought, that blushing suited her very well, pale pink against her fair complexion. And just as blushing was an involuntary physical response to his warmth and appreciation, Elena felt an involuntary emotional response ââ¬â of thankfulness for what he had done, of gratitude for his appreciation, and of unintentional appreciation of Damon himself. He had saved her life tonight, if she knew anything about vampires possessed by Shinichi's malach, vampires who were thugs to begin with. She couldn't even imagine what such creatures would do to her, and she didn't want to. She could only be glad that Damon had been clever enough and, yes, ruthless enough to take care of them before they got to her. And she would have to be blind and just plain stupid not to appreciate the fact that Damon was gorgeous. After having died twice, this fact did not affect her as it would most other girls, but it was still a fact, whether Damon was pensive or giving one of those rare genuine smiles that he seemed to have only for Elena. The problem with this was that Damon was a vampire and could therefore read her mind, especially with Elena being so close, their auras intermingling. And Damon appreciated Elena's appreciation, and it became a little cycle of feedback, all on its own. Before Elena could quite focus she was melting, her weightless body feeling heavier as it molded itself to Damon's arms. And the other problem was that Damon wasn't Influencing her; he was as caught up in the feedback as Elena was ââ¬â more so, because he didn't have any barriers against it. Elena did, but they were blurring, dissolving. She couldn't think properly. Damon was gazing at her with wonder and a look she was all too used to seeing ââ¬â but she couldn't remember where. Elena had lost the power to analyze. She was simply basking in the warm glow of being cherished, being held and loved and cared for with an intensity that shook her to the bone. And when Elena gave of herself, she gave completely. Almost without conscious effort, she arched her head back to expose her throat and closed her eyes. Damon gently positioned her head differently, supported it with one hand, and kissed her.

The Characters Of The Beloved Characters - 1881 Words
Everyone tries to be like the actors or characters they see on television or in movie theatres. Often times people canââ¬â¢t really see themselves as one character because they see too many negative aspects, and instead choose a character that they want to be more like because the traits of that character are more appealing. People often try to associate themselves with different aspects of a character. Some people may say something like ââ¬Å"This character is so generous, Iââ¬â¢m like this character because I am extremely generousâ⬠.

Not because people donââ¬â¢t like me, but because starting conversations with people is hard for me. My friends found me when I was emotionally alone and they took me in. My life has been forever changed because of these few individuals. I care for them more than I care for myself. They are closer to me than some of my own family.

Essay on Othello - 754 Words
One of the most interesting and exotic characters in the tragic play quot;Othello,quot; by William Shakespeare, is quot;Honestquot; Iago. At first glance, Iago seems to be the essence of quot;motiveless malignity.quot; However, despite Iagos unquestionable malignancy, the motivation behind his actions lie more in Iagos quest for personal gain, as opposed to just being evil for evils sake. Iagos rapacity can be validated by examining his manipulation of Roderigo, Cassio and, most importantly, Othello. Iagos main interest is the destruction of Othello. The reason being that Othello has chosen another man, Cassio, as his second-in-command, preferring him to Iago. This resentment, accompanied by Iagos fabricated accusations ofâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦quot;Thus do I ever make my fool my pursequot; (Act 1, Scene 3, Line 376). Roderigo eventually starts to question Iagos honesty. When faced with this accusation, Iago simply offers that killing Cassio will aid his cause and the asinine Roderigo falls for it. quot;I have no great devotion to the deed / And yet he has given me satisfying reason,quot; (Act 5, Scene 1, Line 8). In doing this, Iago keeps Roderigo in the dark and continues to profit from him monetarily. Roderigo is also used as a device in both Cassio and Othellos downfall. Iagos actions demonstrate his monetary and puissance based motivations, invalidating the claim that Iago is evil for evils sake. Cassio, like Roderigo, follows Iago blindly, thinking the whole time that Iago is trying to aid him, when in-fact, Iago, motivated by his lust for power, is attempting to depose Cassio of his position as lieutenant. By enlisting the help of Roderigo, Iago is able to reduce Cassio to a wreck, causing him to forfeit his position as Othellos second-in-command, thus securing the position for Iago. Cassio also serves as the quot;middle manquot; in Iagos mendacity. He is the main contrivance used to rouse quot;the green-eyed monsterquot; within Othello. In Iagos exploitation of Cassio, it is clear to see that, although evil in his deeds, Iago is strictly motivated by his hunger for power, not because he is the devil incarnate.

Answer: The hands that help are better than lips that pray. (Robert, 2009). It implies that a proactive person should prepare themselves before something happens. It is better than a reactive person who waits for things to happen without prior precautions that may result in unexpected results (Branden, 2016). To say simply, it is stepping ahead before it could happen so that it can be corrected and risks could be avoided by following easy strategies as given in dictionary. com. A health care practitioner not only provides care to the patients, they too indulge themselves in leading and coordinating a team. They should be best team leaders to provide an efficient patient care. They do face different situations to be proactive or reactive (Branden, 2016). They should always be a proactive leader to avoid upcoming risks to the patients. So a health care practitioner should assess her proactivity before becoming a leader. The following content discusses the new insights I gained based on my Proa ctivity assessment and the contribution of these results to my personal perception of proactivity for leadership. This also includes the impact of these new insights on my current or future role in health care administration leadership. In my experience, a good health care leader should be proactive (Branden, 2016). They should be able to handle and control the situations by initiating good happenings before it could happen. I perceive that it is good to be proactive than reactive as they constantly look forward for future happenings and consequences. I also understood that a good leader should prepare for the upcoming situation and plan intervention ahead to control unexpected risks and should adapt proactivity for the success of the organization (Cara, 2014). I have performed by proactivity assessment and gained new insights based on the results. I understood that the forward-thinkingleadership is the most effective method to be practiced in which a leader should think on a long term basis. I taught I should foresee the situation. At least it should be planned few months before. I learned that, we have to inspire our co- workers and should work hard and communicate our vision to employees to gain cooperation (Cara, 2014). We should be a good listener to the patients and our co workers to identify the problems earlier and to find solutions ahead. A better leader should have strong communication skills to maintain effective communication with the patient. I thought that I have to plan ahead and organize based on prioritized needs. I wanted to improve by problem solving skills and find wise solutions and not to always depend on instruction manuals (Cara, 2014). I learned that, I should never hesitate to seek advice and help from other health care personnel when required as no one can know everything. I should be an assertive person. It understood that, I should be compassionate, polite with loyalty and great attitude. A leader should follow all these qualities to lead the team. A leader should be a role model for the subordinates. I taught that I should always strive and aim for positive deeds. I learned that I should never be panic to face the situations. I have to be calm and take wise decisions so as to avoid emotional decision-making.I should try to understand how to utilize the strengths of the team and to avoid weakness which helps in quick delegation of task to a right person. At last we should take every criticism as constructive and learn from mistakes. Always both positive and negative feedback is important. Based on insight gained, I have improved my present or future goals in health care administration. It is clear that a great leader should be flexible and adapt to a rapidly changing environment (Scivicque, 2010). I learned that I want to imagine the future in the present. I have identified five goals that are needed to be a proactive person to be followed in the future. My first goal is to predict situations prior so as to avoid unexpected happenings. I have to anticipate future problems and outcomes. My second goal is to prevent the obstacles first by finding ways to overcome them before problem could arise. I learned I should prevent harm by following through proactive assessment as supported by Oregon patient safety commission in 2016. Next goal is to plan in long term basis to control the risks (Scivicque, 2010). I have to get involved in the problem solving process and should take timely efficient action. I should be a role model to my colleagues and should avoid the risks. Thus, proactive thinking is a great thing, every leader should posses. A great leader should avoid unexpected results by foreseeing the things. He should act as a savior for the subordinates. As a health care administrator, proactivity is important to avoid harms from risks. In my experience I learned that a leader should follow certain behavior and I framed by goals based on the insight I have gained. Reference Branden, P.S. (2016).

Macbeth And Blood Theme Essays - Characters In Macbeth,
Macbeth And Blood Theme One of the themes in the tragedy of Macbeth is that of blood. Macbeth is known for his skills as a warrior and his mercilessness that is shown in his killing of MacDonwald. This warrior mentality quickly spreads into his life, and he begins to make killing a habit. When he is told in a prophecy that he shall be king, Macbeth takes it upon himself to murder Duncan, king of Scotland. After this murder he begins to see visions of blood on his hands, blood nothing could remove. As Macbeth becomes more ambitious, he also begins to kill more people to get the power that he wants. The theme of blood is shown throughout the play, and is a problem that Macbeth finds harder and harder to rid himself of after each killing. At the beginning of the play Macbeth is an esteemed member of the army, probably the greatest fighter in all of Scotland. He gets word that a rebellious tribe led by MacDonwald is defeating the Scots. He"single-handedly" defeats the rebels and "unseamed him (MacDonwald) from the nave to th' chops." With this Macbeth earns great respect among his peers, and even the king. On his way home from war three witches tell him his future. "All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis! All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor! All Hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!" Macbeth was already thane of Glamis, and wondered why they would say that he would be Thane of Cawdor or even king, so he blew it off as tomfoolery, and impossible. However, he was later told by the king that because of his valiant fighting against MacDonwald that he was to be given the title of the Thane of Cawdor. All this makes him think again of the witches prophecies, and he wonders if indeed he could be king. The desire for power began to consume Macbeth and his wife, and this ambition caused all of the bloody events that were to follow. Macbeth began to want the kingship that Duncan had more and more. Together Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth plotted to hurry Macbeth's reign, by killing Duncan themselves. At night Macbeth gains access to Duncan's sleeping quarters, kills the guards, and stabs King Duncan to death. After the murder, Macbeth is clearly shaken, and can hardly believe what he has done. He says. "What hands are here? Ha! They pluck out mine eyes! Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No; this mine will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine making the green one red." Macbeth thinks that nothing will wash his hands clean, they will turn the ocean red. Lady Macbeth tells him that he is worrying too much, and that he should wash his hands and go to bed. Macbeth takes his guilty conscience with him to bed and wishes that he had not done what he had done. The blood on his hands is symbolic of the guilt that he feels. Although at times Macbeth feels guilty for his actions, that guilt is not a deterrent, it just made him feel as though he could get away with anything. However, he soon became very paranoid. He begins to worry about Banquo and Fleance possibly taking over the throne, so he plots to kill them. He succeeds in killing his friend Banquo, but Fleance escapes. Then at a banquet to honor Banquo, Macbeth again sees visions, this time they are visions of a bloody ghost of Banquo. Again revealing his guilt. He says to the ghost, " Avaunt and quit my sight! Let the earth hide thee! Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold. Paranoia sets in again, and Macbeth plans yet another murder. This time aimed toward Macduff, but Macduff fled to Scotland to get Malcom's help. They both return to confront Macbeth, but, now Macbeth is left to defend his castle by himself. Macbeth kills Malcom and tells Macduff that his blood cannot be shed by anyone that was born of a woman. Macduff accepts the challenge and slays Macbeth, for he was untimely ripped from the womb. Macbeth's ambition causes him to do many things that he would have not otherwise done; a fault that many of us have, he just took it to the extreme. The blood that stained Macbeth reminded him of all the wrongdoing he had done. The blood represented the errors in his ways. Blood represents life, and
