Essential Question

How do we know what we want as the American Dream, when we dont even know what an American is?

Journal Entry: Anne Bradstreet Today

Dear Journal,
Today has been one of the hardest days since my husband left me and my children. He shall return someday soon, but for some reason i missed him dearly today. One of my children has decided to move away and leave me, its too soon but she has made her mind up. I must let her leave. I wish my husband were here to help me persuade her to stay, but i know he is busy and he is fullfilling God's plan for him. I cannot, must not, and will not interfere with that. Though i miss him dearly, especially since the loss of our house, i cannot let anyone know this feeling for it is not within the Puritan doctirines and i will surely be in trouble with others. I cannot stand hiding my feelings but i know i have too. It id only by the love of God that i have been here, and it is only by his Grace that my husband will be returning soon, so until that faithful day i leave you now.
Love Yours Truly,
Anne Bradstreet
