Winthrop also talk a lot about god and his belief that this is all his doing, this relates to unit 2 because it also talked a lot about people turning to their faith in the church ad the bible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301640504156439603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-69398135834489686282012-09-17T19:11:48.724-04:002012-09-17T19:11:48.724-04:00Dylan O said...

The theme in the letter that relates back to the theme of chapter 3 is the strong belief and trust in God, and economic depression/tragedy.<br /><br />2.) One thing I thought was important relating back to unit 2 was when Winthrop stated, "He is our God, and may dispose of us as He sees good." This shows how much trust he has in God and that everything that is happening to the people he is with is to represent a purpose from God. Winthrop believes that death that comes to the people will in the long run bring good. Another thing that I thought was Important was when Winthrop stated, "If God please once to settle me, I shall make amends." Winthrop is saying to hid wife and children that if God makes it so that he never comes home to them, that he will be fine with it because he trusts God and that there are reasons behind it. This shows how much trust and faith a person had back then in God to be able to not see their family ever again and be okay with it because it has a purpose from God. Overall, Winthrop is making the idea that God has a plan for him and the people that traveled to Massachusettes, even though bad things will happen.<br /><br />3.) This document shows that the United States was very religious and spiritual at the time. In the letter Winthrop always relates back to God saying that everything that happens to us is a purpose from God and that everything will eventually become better because of his trust and faith in God.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07551779991383360846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-58850546666055639582012-09-16T23:38:19.655-04:002012-09-16T23:38:19.655-04:00#1.

One thing that i found that related back to chapter 3 is "He will not cast us off, but, in His due time, will do us good…” This shows that even in hard times, they still believed that good things were to come and kept a positive attitude. This relates to Chapter 3 because in Massachusetts they did really hold that much religious tolerance and Puritans mainly controlled all of the government workings in that colony. The second thing I thought was important from this letter was that John talks about God a lot and talks about him opening. He could express his religion in the New World. Also, he was so devoted to God that everything that happened only happened because It was reasoned by god. <br />#3. This document reveals that in America the colonists had to face many hardships and life was hard and full of challenges. People faced many sicknesses and died but, they had more freedom that previous settlers and civilizations. The U.S was a place for opportunity.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05014753795085255797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-22309569858659999082012-09-16T21:32:17.676-04:002012-09-16T21:32:17.676-04:001.

The themes in the letter that relate back to the themes and ideas within Chapter 3 are strong religious beliefs and the harsh conditions of traveling to the New World.<br /><br />2. Two things within the letter that I thought were important and also related back to Unit 2 is how Winthrop left his family to start a new life, this relates back to Unit 2 because leaving your family to go to the New World was common in this time period. Also Winthrop has a strong belief in God which relates back to Unit 2 because religion played a huge role in settlers lives.<br /><br />3. The document reveals that life in the United States was very hard but people used their belief in God and a hope that things would get better in order to get through these hard times. The document demonstrates this when Winthrop talks about how things were going to get better because he believed in God and when it spoke of the harsh conditions people had to live through.Matt Vartelashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259442951848428654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-91513502195133791222012-09-16T20:41:23.424-04:002012-09-16T20:41:23.424-04:00The themes of this document relates to the themes ...The themes of this document relates to the themes of Chapter 3 in that both show that people back then had a strong faith and dependence in God. I found it important that John Winthrop talked about the corruptions. In Chapter 3, the textbook talks about how there were many things wrong with the Church so they formed new divisions like Calvinism. Another thing that I found important was that some places or people were going through a rough time. In the book it talks about how indentured servants had very difficult lives. This article says that in the time that it was written, people often turned to God when they needed help. I could tell this because he talks about God alot.Gavin Colwellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-85289858718790484482012-09-16T20:01:41.337-04:002012-09-16T20:01:41.337-04:001.

The themes that relate back to chapter 3 are the fact that there was many problems trying to deal with religious issues and also the fact that the people had to live in very terrible conditions.<br /><br />2. One idea that I thought was important in the letter was how John had left his family in order to go to the new world. This showed how much he cared about helping make the country better for his family to come to in the future and for all of them to live peacefully together. Another idea that was important is how John would always talk about god. That shows how much of a religious man he was and why he wanted to come to the new world in order to practice his own religion and not follow everyone else. <br /><br />3. What this document reveals about life in the US is that it was very religious and a lot more free in order for everyone to practice their own religion unlike in England where they all had to practice 1 religion. What demonstrates this in the document is that he would always talk about god and how he trusted in him and how he could talk to him freely now.<br />Ed Companikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153503161233390227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-47526243503995372172012-09-16T17:52:13.617-04:002012-09-16T17:52:13.617-04:001) The theme in the letter that relates back to th...1) The theme in the letter that relates back to the theme of Chapter 3 is the strong religious beliefs.<br /><br />2) Two things i thought were important relating back to Unit 2 was even though people were dying at the time, John knew he still had his family back home in England. And another thing is that even though all things were going wrong, he had his trust in God that it would all work out, going back to the religious beliefs. <br /><br />3) This document shows that the United Staes had a very religious base. If things were going wrong, they would have faith that God would lead them out of it. Evidence to support this is in Johns letter that with his way, is Gods way, and he is leading people in the right direction.Savannah Nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-38704402063762767362012-09-16T17:50:13.473-04:002012-09-16T17:50:13.473-04:001.

Two things that i found important in this letter was that he left his family back home in England and that how much he talked about god. These two things relate to the book because in the book it talked about people going to the "new world" to have a better life and if they didn't have effort money they would have to leave there family. Also the book talks about how people were very religious back then.<br />3. This document revealed how people used to leave there family to go to the "new world". Also it revealed that in times of need they would turn to god to figure out what they were going to to.

One thing that stood out to me and made me think was how he had left his family. The reason this stood out was because he loved his family but he relazied that they needed his help over in the new world to make it a better place for people to go so he decided to leave his falimy and help out many more people. Anothe inportand part in the letter was how he mentoined his faithe in god because he was going throught a tough time because many people were dieing and the colinly was almost failing.<br />3.

One thing I thought was imporant and related back to unit 2 was John Winthrop and how he talked about his family, I thought this was important because he had to leave his family to have a better life for himself in America. This also relates to unit 2 because how immigrants left there life's behind for a better one in the new world. Another thing I found important was about how Winthrop talked about how his due time will do them good according to there afflictions. This is important because they always in the hard times still kept looking forwar towards the good. Relating to Chapter 3 because in some states they did keep that religious tolerance and also how the Puritans controlled the gov. doings in there colonies.<br /><br />3. This document reveals how the United states has an extreme attention base on God. In most of the article Winthrop talks about the belief and trust in God.

One thing that I found important which related back to unit 2 was how John Winthrop continued to talk about how he missed his family, and it is important because he left his home in England to start a new life in America. This can relate to Unit 2 because it shows the ideas of how some immigrants chose to leave their previous lives behind for a fresh start in the new world.<br /><br />3. The letter displayes the incredibly strong and confident belief in God from the United States citizens. This is supported by the fact that in the end of Winthrop's letter after he wrote of all the death and poor conditions, he still showed confidence and belief in the Lord.Frankie M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-66606565557018088092012-09-15T23:52:15.995-04:002012-09-15T23:52:15.995-04:001)
The themes in the letter from John Winthrop tha...1)<br />The themes in the letter from John Winthrop that relate back to the themes/ideas of Chapter 3 are strong religious beliefs. Trust and faith in God during tough conditions is also an idea that Winthrop and Chapter 3 emphasized.<br />2)<br />1. One idea within the letter that I thought was an important idea that related back to Unit 2 was how John Winthrop had to leave his family behind in England while he traveled to the New World. He trusted God to make the right decision and kept his faith in God even when it seemed like he had made the wrong choice. <br />2. A second idea within the letter that I thought was an important idea that related back to Unit 2 was how he has such a strong faith in God. This can relate back to Unit 2 because during those times, everyone was focused on their religion. His letter proves to us that people really did believe that everything in their life that happened was because of God’s doing.<br />3)<br />The document reveals that people’s lives in the U.S. at the time revolved around their religion. John Winthrop used God to help him get through the hard times of traveling to the New World. The evidence within the document that demonstrates this is how Winthrop addresses God. He believes God does everything for a reason and he says that “the Lord is all-sufficient, blessed be.”Katherine A.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-73273582089360108432012-09-15T23:47:53.564-04:002012-09-15T23:47:53.564-04:001) The theme in this letter that relates back to t...1) The theme in this letter that relates back to the theme of Chapter 3 is strong belief and faith/trust in god, and bad traveling conditions to the new world.<br /><br />2)One thing that relates back to unit 2 that i found important was how much talking of god there was especially when Winthrop talked about him. It showed how strong people's faiths were at the time of the letter. The new world allowed the freedom of religion hence why so many people wanted to go there. Another important topic that relates to unit 2 that i found in this letter is the harsh voyage people tend to have on their way to the new world based on weather conditions. The new world was thought to create a better life which is why so many people went there and how most people even left there families to be there.<br /><br />3) This document revealed how much faith in god there was during this time and how important god was in the lives of many. All Winthrop talks about in this document is god. No matter how life was to Winthrop he always had god there and thats how people thought back then.<br />Julian Fnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-18715349985033458012012-09-15T23:46:49.174-04:002012-09-15T23:46:49.174-04:001) The themes in this letter that relate back to c...1) The themes in this letter that relate back to chapter 3 are the strong religious beliefs in God, and the horrific conditions people had to endure while coming to the United States.<br /><br />2)One thing that I thought was important relating back to Unit two was "I praise the good Lord, though we see much morality, sickness, and trouble...". This is important because it shows that even though they are going through these terrible conditions, they believe and trust in God still because he says "I praise the good Lord". So no matter what they will always believe that everything will be okay because of God. Also, I found it interesting that John Winthrop left his wife and family behind in England because he wanted to come and see the New World, which is similar how in Unit two many immigrants only had one family member usually a man come over from Europe to see the New World because they couldn't spare enough money to send them all.<br /><br />3)This document shows how religious and spiritual the United States was at the time. They put all their trust in God because they believed he could make everything better, and that his plan for them was the right way to go.

Themes that are in the letter that relate back ...1. Themes that are in the letter that relate back to chapter 3 are the ideas of a strong belief in God, bad economic conditions, and the difficult trip to the New World.<br /><br />2. One thing I found important was that Winthrop had left his family that he loved so much to get to the New World, even with all the disease going on around him as an obstacle in his way he still never gave up and never turned back, he continued to make his way into the New World in search of a better life, this relates back to Unit 2 because many families had to get split when a family member decided to make their way into the New World, it just wasn't exactly affordable. Another thing that I found rather important was Winthrop's strong faith in God. He had a very strong belief and trust in God, trying to connect with him throughout the entire journey to the New World. This also relates to Unit 2 because a strong belief in God and religious tolerance is what made people want to come to the New World, they sought religious freedom which is what the New World had to offer as well.<br /><br />3. What this document reveals about life in the United States during this time is that a lot of people seemed to turn to God in the tough times and they had a strong spiritual faith in him. Winthrop saw all the deaths going on around him, he knew of the disease going around, economy wasn't good, and he still didn't turn back and he says, "I praise the good Lord, though we see much mortality, sickness, and trouble..." Even with all these miserable things going on around him he continues to thank and praise the Lord instead of envy him. This is just one example, many seemed to follow in a time like this, those who didn't turn back like Winthrop were the ones who solely relied on the help of Jesus Christ and kept him with them through the journey.Diankahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265290459710524100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-53068550624138748022012-09-15T23:12:00.195-04:002012-09-15T23:12:00.195-04:001.

Two things that were important in the letter was when Winthrop was concoeling about how he missed his family. This relates to Unit two because even though the people were facing adversity they kept good memories in thought. Another is that he felt comfortable mentioing religion in his letter because he could not be punised by England. This relates to Unit two because people immagated to the New World for religious freedom.<br /><br />3. The document shows how hard of times they had but they were spiritually stong. The evidence is how Winthrop kept talking about God and his religion. Also, he explained the tough travel conditions.

The theme/themes in the letter that relate back to the reading (ch. 3) were belief in god, trust in god, and bad conditions for traveling.<br /><br />2.Two things that were important in unit 2 were; when Winthrop was very religious in the new world which related back to unit 2 when he said,"god may dispose of us as he see's good". Also, he talked about how the people had the chance to go back on the Mayflower but didn't even though they had the chance. This relates back because they believed in their cause.<br /><br />3. The letter is basically stating that the people of the U.S. back then were very religious and would do anything to get into heaven. I know this because in the letter Winthrop is constantly talking about god, and he was willing to do whatever it took to enter heaven, even if he had to go through hell.Ruben Caiza Jr.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-70993180950278563982012-09-15T23:03:10.677-04:002012-09-15T23:03:10.677-04:001.

The themes in the letter that relate back to the themes in Chapter 3 are the praising of God and the troubling conditions when coming to the New World.<br /><br />2. One thing in the document that relate back to Unit 2 that I think is important is how John Winthrop left his family to help lead his life along with the other settlers' lives in the New World. This relates to Unit 2 because many people left their lives in England to start over in the New World. Another important thing that relates back to Unit 2 is John Winthrop's strong belief in God. He believed that God would guide him so he never gave up. This relates back to Unit 2 because a very important value in peoples' lives was religion.<br /><br />3. This document reveal that life in the United States during this time was based off of the belief in that God will help you succeed and will guide you. This is demonstrated throughout the letter when Winthrop says that good things will come, even if it is tough to get there.Ryan D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-76835728728228950752012-09-15T23:02:04.011-04:002012-09-15T23:02:04.011-04:001.

One thing i thought was important was how much he talked about god, almost all of this letter referenced god. It just shows how strong the belief in god back in that time. Another thing was about Winthrop's family and how he left them behind for a new life in America to help colonists. <br /><br />3.The document showed how America had very religious at that time.

The themes that relate back to the themes and ideas within the Chapter 3 reading including terrible living conditions and the trust and faith in God.<br /><br />2. One thing in the letter that I thought was an important idea relating back to Unit 2 included the fact that he had a family back in England, yet he decided to stay in America even though the living conditions weren’t so good. This relates to Unit 2, because people were committed to living in America in search for a better life and better freedoms. Another thing within the letter that I thought was important was how many times he mentioned God. He strongly believed in God and he was very great. This relates to Unit 2 because religion basically ran most colonies. There was even problems with people believing in different religions, thus colonies were formed for people of different religions to live together.<br /><br />3. This document reveals that the United States in the time it was written was becoming a very religious place. Evidence within the document that demonstrates this is how often John Winthrop talks about God. He praises and is faithful to God and that shows how committed people were to their religion and religious freedoms during that time. <br />Jen Fuscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002901253315487138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-774261308899162032012-09-15T22:45:57.431-04:002012-09-15T22:45:57.431-04:001)The theme that is presented in this letter that ...1)The theme that is presented in this letter that relates back to chapter three is that you should trust and have your faith in God.<br /><br />2)Two things in this letter that were important ideas relating back to unit two were, one, the first sentence where he says that the blessing of god should be on thee...and second, like just how he keeps stressing the fact thatevery one should believe in god and trust him and stuff. These things represent the theme of unit two because it all says how people were putting their faith in god, and they were praying for family..etc.<br /><br />3) What this letter says about the U.S. at this time is that people had all their faith in God, like John Winthrop did.

This shows that people had a strong belief in God and they believed that if they did the right thing and help others, then he will keep you healthy and reward you. This is relevant to Unit 2 because one of the main themes of this Unit was religion. Another thing that connects to Unit 2 from the letter is,"I praise the good Lord, though we see much morality, sickness, and trouble, yet myself and children with most of my family, are yet living, and in health, and enjoy prosperity." I believe this relates to Unit 2 because it shows how people had to leave their families and put their trust in God to keep their families safe with all the diseases and religious conflicts going on. These situations were describe in Unit 2.<br /><br />3) This document shows that the United States was going through a time where everyone was getting sick, there were servants, and there was a limited supply of goods. The evidence in the letter that supports this is the quote,"I praise the Lord, though we see much mortality, sickness, and trouble," because this tells us many people were sick. It is also supported when John Winthrop says, "Good Mr, Higginson, my servant," because it clearly shows us people had their own servants to work for them. Lastly, the letter states, "Now we are somewhat refreshed with such goods and provisions... though half received was damaged by the wet." This is evidence because goods had to get shipped over to America and if they had to do that, then that means they didn't have enough to support everyone or they needed more goods to trade with others to get survival supplies. Therefore America had a limited supply of goods.Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13419312047920131360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-84623986088317787972012-09-15T20:32:55.996-04:002012-09-15T20:32:55.996-04:001) The themes in this letter that relate back to t...1) The themes in this letter that relate back to the themes and ideas within the Chapter 3 reading are about his strong faith and trust in God.<br /><br />2) One thing within the letter that I thought was an important idea relating back to Unit 2 is how much faith John Winthrop had in God. “He is our God, and may dispose of us as He sees good,” he said in the letter. Winthrop believed everything happens for a reason and he knew it would be okay in the end; he really trusted God. Another thing that is an important idea is the fact that Winthrop missed his family so much. However, he had to move from England for a better life for himself and other people. He was a very positive guy even though he’s been through a lot from this move and from seeing disease get the best of people.<br /><br />3) The document reveals about the United States that times were hard back then. People were dying from disease and some began to lose hope in a better life. But people like John Winthrop who looked at life with a positive attitude knew it was going to be okay. They knew that all they needed to do was trust God and remember everything happens for a reason. “It is enough we have Heaven, though we shall pass through Hell to it. We here enjoy God and Jesus Christ.”Christina Popikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331413666014891744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-75307491230788954652012-09-15T19:52:41.901-04:002012-09-15T19:52:41.901-04:001.

The themes in this letter that relate back to the theme of chapter 3 are the love and trust in God, and the threatening economic depression.<br /><br />2. One thing within the letter that I thought was an important idea relating back to unit 2 is when Winthrop said, "I praise the good lord, though we see much morality, sickness, and trouble, yet myself and children with the most of my family, are yet living, and in health." This is important because he is talking about how much he loves God for keeping him and his family healthy. another thing I believe is important is when Winthrop said, " I long for the time, when I may see thy sweet face again, and the faces of my dear children." Unit 2 talks about how back then the two most important thing in people's lives were God and their family and this tells us that Winthrop loves his family so much because he <br />prayed to God to let him see his family.<br /><br />3. This document reveals that life in the United States at this time was very Religous. At this time, God was the only thing that gave them hope. Evidence within the document to support this answer is when Winthrop said, " He stays but till He hath purged our corruptions, and healed the hardness and error of our hearts, and stripped us of our vain confidence in this are flesh, that He may have us rely wholly upon Himself." This means that they have lost everything because God has taken it away from them, so now the only thing left to rely on is God.Emma Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923611411059392202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290940288203659446.post-33424616630096696772012-09-15T19:51:45.706-04:002012-09-15T19:51:45.706-04:001.)

The themes in the letter written by John Winthrop to his wife relate back to the themes of chapter 3 of the very strong religious beliefs people had in God.They had complete faith in him.For example,they trusted God with every decision they would make,just like Winthrop did by moving to Massachusetts in the New World. <br /><br />2.)One thing that I thought was important relating back to Unit 2 is how strong of a person John Winthrop is to try and maintain a better life for the New World settlers with help from God. I believe this is relevant to Unit 2 because it shows how dedicated people were to begin an entirely different life whether it turns good or bad in the end because of their trust in God. I feel as though they believed God had a purpose with every new decision they had encountered such as moving on and leaving their families behind like many immigrants had to do. The second important idea that also related back to Unit 2 is when John Winthrop said, "Yet we may not look at great things here. It is enough that we shall have Heaven, though we should pass through Hell to it." I believe this is important because in my opinion it's saying that with every struggle that gets in the way of someone, something good will be the outcome. This statement relates to all the settlers in the New World because of the drastic change they probably had to over come from immigrating to the New World.<br /><br />3.) This document reveals that life in the United States during the 1600's was that people felt very strongly about God himself because every decision they chose to make in life was because of their faith and trust in God. They felt that God would guide them through their life until death.Bethany Verabnoreply@blogger.com
