When Sandy climbed into a crate he hadn’t expected it to be filled with supplies for a pirate ship. Now he’s being forced to work for his trip. No big deal though, at least he wasn’t dead. While he tries to adjust to being free from his old life he starts to grow feelings for the man put in charge of watching him, the third mate Brian. Brian knows he shouldn’t get close to Sandy, the guy is a temptation he can’t afford to let himself indulge in. He plans to keep their interaction to an absolute minimum, even if they’re sharing a room. To bad it seems Sandy has other plans.

    The Hostage: An Interview With Elaine Weinstein

    On February 21, 2016, 60 Minutes aired the interview of Lesley Stahl with Elaine Weinstein, a widow, mother, and grandmother. She recounted the agonizingly painful process she went through to get her husband from the terrorist group that abducted him. Specifically, she narrated the constant fear, stress, and worry the entire experience puts her through. Though, she managed to maintain her composure for the sake of her loved one. As Weinstein said, “On my mind all the time was, "You keep it together. Your husband's life is in your hands."” It’s remarkable considering she dealt with the daily pressure for four years. Her patience, hope, and love, urged her to keep going and the pressure was an undeniable preponderance:…

    The Unredeemed Captive

    John Demos in a sense presents themes that are entirely familiar and conventional. The themes of sin, retribution, and repentance are very prevalent in his writing. The loss of piety, the failure of spiritual nerve, the absolute necessity of reform; and the certainty of God's punishment if reform was not achieved appear throughout his book (Demos). (In this instance, Eunice's failure to return to her native land is putting her at risk in the eyes of God). For approximately 60 years John Williams who had been a captive for almost two years, and is one of the main characters of the story writes different letters, sermons, in an effort to reach the captive daughter. According to John Williams, "God is the bestower and giver of all our good things. Our mercies come to us not by casualty or by accident. These mercies are not of our own procuring and purchasing" (Demos, 62). John Demos uses the story of John Williams to describe the conflict between the Puritans and Jesuits. "The Jesuits had their own cultural and religious ways versus those of the "savages"; the adjustments and compromises they feel obliged to accept, and the core of essentials they must vigilantly defend" (Demos 129). The conversion of English captives to Catholicism was the primary goal of the Jesuits. "The Indians were not mere imitators of an alien model; their culture, their history and their values contributed strongly to the evolving patterns of converting to Christianity" (Demos 171).…

    The Unredeemed Captive

    From the perspective of a twenty-one year old college student in the twenty first century, it is hard to relate to the colonist's of the 16 and 1700's. Crossing the frontier was a necessary task for these colonists to begin new lives in New England. The only way to tap into this same theme is through placing one's self in the wilderness, both physically and mentally, and peering out to the other side. As a class we were able to accomplish this by visiting the Buttolph-Williams House of Old Wethersfield and look upon this house through the cover of trees, just as these earlier settlers and Native Americans had done. The story of Eunice Williams is a wonderful example of the reciprocal theme of embracing the wilderness, by personal choice alone. In The Unredeemed Captive by John Demos, we hear the story of the raid upon Deerfield in 1704 and the significance of not only the torturous trek these captives endured, but the willingness for one child, Eunice Williams, to attach herself to these Native Americans captures and to embrace life in the wilderness.…
