"Living in the New Land" Good Life

The stories of the "Living in the New World" depicts the lives of many people who dwelled in the New World. Their grievances and successes expressed their idea of the good life. Their ideas were more primitive than many people's today. Their stories conveyed that they would value simply having food, water, and shelter. The basic necessities were all they needed to live the good life. The Puritan lifestyle didn't put much emphasis on material possessions, so these weren't a factor. A good life to them was one where they survived. Much of the food they had was rotten and filled with insects. Their bodies were not acclimated to the various New World bacteria and the water often made them sick. Throughout the colonies the weather was also very severe. Snow battered the colonists in the winter and the heat roasted them in the summer. An escape from these hardships was heavenly to them and thus shaped their idea of the good life.
