From my professor: I want you to analyze John Winthrop‘s account of the Anne Hutchinson controversy. You might consider the question of why Winthrop and his cohorts seem so determined to rid Boston of Mrs. Hutchinson. You will want to refer to “From The Journal of John Winthrop,” which is found in “The Norton Anthology-American Literature”-seventh edition-volume A-Beginning to 1820. It is found on page 158-165. (“The Norton Anthology, American Literature” is a very common work used in lit. classes nation wide and can be found in any library.) Looking forward to Hathorne’s “The Scarlet Letter”, one might consider how Hutchinson’s conflict with authority in Boston parallels Hester’s conflict with authority in the novel (Hawthorne identifies Hester Prynne with Hucthinson in the opening pages of the book.) This paper must have a title and can’t have more than one internet source.
