The age of reason writers didn't give me as much incite into their society. IT more closely resembles today's society. I hardly knew anything about the Puritans before this class and AP History. However, i absolutely loved the Age of Reason Writers because of there fair view of the world, and their modern, philosophical reasoning. I Especially loved to learn about Benjamin Franklin's reaction to Puritanism and the Church. I never knew he had such a knowledge of his surrounding, nor that he had such a good sense of humor. I never knew someone form such an age could be so clever and witty by todays standards. Phillis Wheatley gave me another great incite into the feeling of a slave from that time period. I enjoyed seeing the duality that was created when she became educated and a published writer.
