Many cultures came to America for a better life because they believed that coming to America all their dreams would come true and all their troubles would be resolved. The puritans think of themselves as more pure than other men. The American dream is about equality and working for what you want. The puritans came to America that all their troubles would just go away and that they could start over. Puritans had a dream of their own. It was said in the Dream of the Good life on page thirteen "it is only because of their dream that those Americans who followed had theirs.". The puritans may have come here for religious purposes, they also came to America for a dream they could not pursue in England.
I perssonally think that puritans deserve the reputaion that they were givin, because if they were not givin the reputaion in the first place they would not deserve it. Puritans think that they are the most pure and that they are above all the rest. When the puritans came to America they thought all of their problems would go away in a blink of an eye but if you lived in America you would know that nothing comes that easily and to live the American dream you have to work for what you want.
Many immigrants came to America for a better life and to see their troubles away. The imigrants expects life to be easy and things to come easily to them. The puritans have made a bad name for themselves and I believe that they should keep that name because thet have not proved their reputaion to be any better. They came here for religious purposes but then they ended up living the American dream through their own set dream. They came here with an amition to practice religion however they want.
