Anne Hutchinson's Way

Desiree

Over the weekend I read a book called Anne Hutchinsons Way which really stood out to me in many ways. This book was so inspiring to stand up for what you believe in because this lady, Anne Hutchinson, wanted to practice her religion freely so she left England to go to the Boston Colony where she could do so. She had 12 kids and taught them well. When they arrived in Boston their older son had built a house for them to live in, But every time they went to church Anne simply hated the way the minister talked about his beliefs in God which were only about the things god does to punish us for our sins and other non-sense that didn’t explain why god loves us and who he really is. So Anne started to preach in her homes to people who wanted to listen and to also teach her kids the right meaning of god, But when the government started to recognize how much power the little lady was bringing upon herself they ordered her to stop and summoned her to court. She disagreed to stop her preaching and said during court that she was only teaching her kids what was right and if others wanted to listen they could, But she was still punished and sent to a house across a river and the house was locked and she had to stay there for a year. While she was away her husband went to another place and built a house just for there family.
I wanted to write about this book because history is so interesting because back when Anne was alive she wasn’t famous, but now after all these years she is finally famous because she never gave up for what she believed in. I think this is a good lesson to share with the ones who haven’t heard about her and this book. I recommend you guys to read it if you could and enjoy it like I did.
