Argumentative Essay On Cinderella By Anne Sexton

Puritans came from England sailing to the New World and settled by the Massachusetts Bay making a colony, which is now known as Massachusetts. The reason the people sailed away to start fresh because of religious issues against the Church of England. What we believe today can be traced to the puritans. As what Doctor Laura who is orthodox Jew a talk show host, and in a video called, “Letters to Dr. Laura” one of the questions she’s asked by a gentleman, “I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?” (Laura) Laura’s replies, “The price depends whether the girl is a virgin or not; if the girl isn’t a virgin the price decreases and if the girl

is a virgin the cost would be seventy-six point eight (g) silver.” I was shocked Dr. Laura actually used prices on a human girl pending on her virginity to be sold as slave. Others would sell into slavery for money “to prevent starvation the person would work for food and housing exchange for labor.” (Deem) In reality, there is quite a few slavery in the past being done willingly or as the Christian view is to allow the slave serve, “do what is proper,” (Deem)
This is modern today because of a letter called, “Cinderella” by Anne Sexton starting with short stories about people who lives go from being poor and unlucky to the very rich or refine luck.

In Sexton’s form Cinderella faces discrimination by her stepmother and stepsisters made Cinderella clean after them; as a slave. And as the royal ball, coming up every girl wanted to go and find a prince to marry. Additionally, the prince also has the chance to choose a female to marry as a “marriage market” for men or the families arrange the marriage in a young age of their child. (Schaeffer) People believe today that our beauty pageants and sweet sixteen’s are nothing more than the process of selling girls. As of today a couple chooses to marry both of the families come together and celebrate the unity of the couple, although, where ever a person goes there is a puritan ideals in our believes mostly in church, ever wonder why the woman wears white when she walks down the aisle. Even the clothes we wear is a factor of believes of puritans that has affected us and has stayed with us. For example, other than clothes and girls engagements, are the words we say which have a connection to puritan’s language based on religion when people talk about salvation. “Puritans believes that it was necessary to be in a covenant relationship with God in order to redeem one from one’s sinful condition, that God had chosen to reveal salvation through preaching, and that the Holy Spirit was the

energizing instrument of salvation.” (Puritanism) Mathew Hutson said, “ some salvation worlds used today such as heaven and redeem.” “The whole destiny of America lies with Puritans when they landed on these shores and their attitude believes and behavior have affected us.” (Hutson) In the 1640, the sermon called, “Sinners in the hands of angry god” by John Edwards perceived the explosion of salvation. While others were exposed to neutral words and displaying the Americans, not the Canadians had the salvation on their mind. In the concept of being redeemed of sin the American worked hard. In the American culture the word redeems is a very religious and thought that is to regain something. The facts are clear about Americans work and intercourse values are all connected to Puritans by the culture we live today.
