1)The Puritans and Rationalist were different because. The reason they were different is that the Puritans believed in God and the Rationalist believed in science. This way it was the Rationalist versus the Puritans. In other words the Puritans believed that God made everything and no one can oversee that. The rationalist thought differently. They had questions about why they were made the way they were, and how they were made, and what was they’re reason for being made. There were a lot of things that the Puritans might think were wrong, but the Rationalist might think it’s a good experiment done.
3) Benjamin Franklin to my belief was a Rationalist. The reason for this thought is because he was a scientist. Only scientist believe in planning thing out on paper then trying to figure out the problem with different experiments. If he were a Puritan then he would have left it to God to solve his problems. In other words Puritans think that God is the answer to all of their problems. Rationalist invented many things when they had problems trying to be solved. For example Ben Franklin had no electricity so he invented electricity. If he was a Puritan he would have counted on God who only makes light with the sun.
He also made a list of virtues. By making this list it would help him by writing out his feelings and how he could help them himself. To his own mind he knew that every problem he had he didn’t have to ask God for help. There for he made away to help himself.
4) 13 Virtues
Eating- eat healthy and not to much.
Attitude- needs to be more calming towards people
Emotions- try not to make so high
Trouble- try to keep out of
Money- try to save it more
School- try to learn as much as possible and try to graduate
Lies- try not to tell any
Friends- try not to keep to many because to many can cause trouble
Education- try to keep much of you might get somewhere
Lover- try to keep because you might not find another like it
Clothes- try to keep at a casual level you might be respected
Hair- try to keep descent no one won’t stare at you crazy
Family- stay close to because no one will love you more
5) "That they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights" Meaning that they have certain things they are able to do without God and that they really don’t need him for everything. So there for this is for the Rationalist because they seem to do a lot of things on there own any way. The Puritans think that they need God for everything. "All men are created equal" to the Puritans they think that the only way you are in good with God then you have to be a chosen one. The Rationalist think different they don’t think about any one being chosen because they solve everything on their own. "Liberty and the pursuit of happiness" the Puritans don’t think of happiness for everyone. This is because they believe you have to be a chosen one and you are not happy until you go to heaven. The Rationalist try to make their life on earth happy because they try to make if by their selves.

Puritans
1)Puritans Beliefs
Most people believe today that the only way you get to heaven is if you get baptized. But everyone has they’re own beliefs. Just like the puritans. Puritans had a lot of different beliefs of things going on around the world. The way that people think today about Adam and Eve, the Puritans thought differently about them. They’re belief is that because of Adam and Eve’s wrong doing everyone born is born sinful. Also they had thought about Jesus. The man who people say died to set us free. Well according to the Puritans Jesus died to set the chosen one’s free from all pain.
As of today everyone thinks of God being the father of all his children. They also think that he treats everyone the same. According to the Puritans, God was a man of the chosen one’s. The only way you get to heaven you have to be one of god’s chosen and respected people. Also they thought that people that were chosen by God lived very high class and had it much easier than the unchosen one’s.
2) In the History of Plymoth Plantation which was a presonal journal of William Bradford. He was a leader of the Puritans separatist. He and other Puritans god on a ship called the Mayflower hoping become to a better world. in this he was saying how when they got to their destination they thanked god for everything and how he helped them across the ocean safely. He also talked about how when they got to the new world there was no one there to greet them. Also they were not presentable to the new world because where they came from was very poor.
This is how they sought a place of habitation. from Bradfords journal. When they reached their starting ground they began shaving a large shallop of wood that they brought from england to start fires. Others began settling their material goods in what they call their new home. Some of the others started out in search for land that they could own and sell when someone wants to purchase land. They reached land on November the 11th. This is the day that they started all of the settling. On November 15th some of the men started on a search farther out. But on their way they seen a couple of scavengers who ran from them. But the English men didn't want any trouble they just wanted to find some information about the land. Nothing happened when they followed them except they lost them.
From then on every once in a while the indians would show their face. But they would not get close enough to touch. when some one did get close the indians would run away. But on March 16th one of the indians came up to the english men and spoke. When he spoke it was clear english that the englishmen could understand. He was origannally from where the indians were from, but the reason he spoke their language is because they fish where he is from and he learned there language that way.
Puritans wrote in plain writing because they didn’t care about others. They just wrote so that they can understand. Also I think they did this because they were only thinking about God excepting them than anyone else. In most of the writing they were basically talking about how the way god should except them and no one else. Other than that they were trying to talk down on any one else.

When Terica’s sad she cries. This is because she’s hurt. Everyone has a weak side to him or her that tends to make them cry. Terica wears her heart on her sleeve, and it is very easy for her to cry. Once she cried because her mother didn’t get her the shoes she asked for. Most of the time she cries when she thinks about old things that have happened in her past life. Other times she cry is when someone has passed away in her family or someone who was close to her. Once she cried when someone played with her heart when she was in the ninth grade and she said to herself. No ones going to play with my heart again." Yes it is easy for someone to hurt Terica’s feelings so bad, that she will cry very easily. But sometimes when she’s sad she becomes angry and tries to do crazy things to hurt people.
