A World For Progress and Change

All things grow through a progress of growth, this means change, which makes things better for some and worse for others. As said in the text “revolution” was going on in England, with the introduction of a sport from their northern Neighbor. This would be true, the people we know as pilgrims would decide to change their way living in England to then “struggle” to live in America. In that time people who wanted to make a change in their way of live by “separating” would be fined or locked up. But really what is change? It could be anything, from the ideas that want to go out of the ordinary, all the way to the people who want to change it all in their lives. The people who wanted the out of the ordinary movement would try once and fail, “This second attempt in the spring of 1608, leaving from the site of Immingham dock on Humber, also very nearly failed.”(Pg 178) This made me think of a lot of things. Why were these, as seen then, lawbreakers so interested in creating a different environment than the one they already had? Why were these people so in need of knew rights, knew things to do? I believe these “separatists” were against the bible and its ideas, they wanted to believe in something different than the bible. “In a sense that almost no one now understands, the words of the bible were the ultimate and encompassing truth itself.”(Pg 182) This was what they were after, they wanted to prove that the bible wasn’t the only thing 100% correct, they wanted to show other things were correct to. All they wanted was to make their society grow and make a “revolution” against normal day routine.
