Dear friend,
I cannot wait, it is almost time for you to get here. I know you are super excited as well, but I also know that you have been very concerned about moving in to this country. All exposed by the press you have access is whatever they want you to know, they do not make any effort to show the real roots of the country and how those people who lived here five hundred years ago did it to survive and to build the origins of America.
A special thanks to the pioneers of the new land.
As we had talked before, the research is going very well. Each day is a new achievement. I have found many files of literature proving what we already know, how important is this one to the construction and development of a people.
For that new settlers from the United States could write in their new homeland, they needed to first get a sense of nationality. This feeling of early, still contained traces of nostalgia for the homeland, England. It required that the first inhabitants of New England first build the feeling of nationality, liked the warmer climate, landscape and animals, internalize all the cultural change between Europe and America, for only thus also matured as literature.
I found new names and how important they were and still are in American Literature. You know that a seed quality literature is presented when a man feels within society, and to express it pleases. This was the case of the first writers in the seventeenth century as Hector St. John of Crevecoeur (1735-1813), poet William Bryant Culler (1794-1878), James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851) and, above all, the writer Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862).
The writer Hector St. John Crevercoeur of France was exiled in Pennsylvania. He was a lover of flowers and animals that inhabited the United States. He also loved to walk through the field with his son and see the wheat grow, see the prosperity that the new land was giving. He was the introducer of American literature.
As we know, the new land was inhabited by people who wanted to build a better life, away from religion and monarchy. It was not all wonders, the early colonization of the United States was marked by religious intolerance. The British who were exiled in New England, for being supporters to Puritanism, also make strong persecutions against the insurgents who were not adherents to this religion in New England.
The church was where the sermons were propagated, were inspired by the severe fear God. These sermons are the sermons that influenced what we see in newspapers, universities, television, conferences etc. But it was not precisely what the Native Americans were fleeing?
In the eighteenth century ideas of freedom after rising in England, also began to flourish in the colonies. As it developed the colonies, so does the desire of people to have more freedom of expression and a centralized power. A government that meets the local situations and not alienated and humiliated by the strong abuse the metropolis. This consciousness which later culminate in his addiction and gradually the union of the thirteen colonies.
With that said, my dear friend, I came to conclusion that in early American literature is translated by the ideal of the Puritan religion. Broadcast your sermons through books of hymns and to persuade the people and intimidate them through punishment of sin. We saw that this course was surrounded by a religious fanatic and that many people were killed unjustly.
Later, with the softer bigotry, writers began to write proper literature because the focus was not the persuasion of the people to be more faithful, but as an art that reflects the beauty of the American landscape. Took to the literature ripen, turning art, and ceasing to be an oppressive tool.
Well my friend, this is the beginning of our journey and as you can see this is a people marked by struggles and achievements as well as yours. No fears, forget what you hear and see on TV and come with me to experience this new journey.
Best regards and lots of love,
Your friend.
