Journal Entry 9: Motivation

I believe that the character all behaved the specific ways in the poems due to their own belief of religions. Religion is a powerful thing, people could devote their whole life just for a chrished belief or God.  They would sacriffice themselves for what they believe to be true. For me, right now, i don't remember quite of a specifric poem in mind to refer this journal back to the book. However, judging by the laws that were established for the people living inthe puritan soceity, they devoted their lives for the religion. They abaondoned the things that are beautiful and enjoying to follow their own beliefs. Just by a bible and the things wrote inside changed a community as a whole. In the poems and stories that we have read from the start of the year, different characters still have different belief on what God and their religion menas. In Anne Bradstreet, she believes that God can take everything, the real thing lies in heaven. In world in hounding me discribes the belongings in the world as nothing, something that we should not care, the real thing is in the mind. In the scarlet letter, the community basically uses the rules and ideas of the commandments as the actual laws of the city.
