The Puritans
Storyboard Text
- Hello! My name is Sarah...I'll tell you about The Puritans Age and its poetry in an interesting short comic story.
- As you can see here on my computer, this is a close to reality art of how The Puritans used to look like.But who are they you may ask? well, let me take you on a walk with me back in the 17th century
- Hello there, can I help you? I'm John and this is my wife Elizabeth...and you are?
- Oh, hey...I'm Sarah! I know I sound silly but I look different because I came from a different era actually...
- You look different...
- Huh?
- How is that even possible?
- It seems insane, but I've came from the 21st century to showcase how The Puritans used to live. I wonder if you could tell me more about you, if you may.
- Well, this is odd but I can do it for you. Please follow me to the downtown.
- Thank you very much Mr. John and Ms. Elizabeth! It will be appreciated.
- Yes please John, help our fellow time traveller.
- Well, I will consider you as a guest here...I will tell you some interesting facts about us.
- Yes please, go ahead.
- I have noticed that!
- I don't know if you can tell, but since we are in the 17th century...our lives are simple as you can see and we like to wear modest clothes.
- Come on, follow me
- That is interesting...
- We are strictly religious and believe in the importance of leading a moral and disciplined life.
- We also dedicated Sundays to attending church services, engaging in prayer, and refraining from secular activities.
- I didn't know that witchcrat was real!
- If you didn't know already, we have witchcraft in this town! and we punish them for the awful things they do!
- Hmm...that's really creepy, I didn't know stuff like that happened
- Here is where the accusations and executions of individuals accused of practicing witchcraft happen...
- We are in intense fear of the supernatural and we must maintain our religious purity!
- Oh my god!! they really existed a long time ago
- Did you mention me?
- The authorities will know how to handle this witch. Let's leave this place and talk somewhere else.
- We will go to somewhere we closed a long time ago and I will tell you about it when we arrive there.
- We have been walking for a few minutes now...can you tell me where are we going?
- Huh? a theatre? wasn't that popular for literary works?
- Well...it was in previous centuries, but literature should not be used for entertainment. It must be used in the service of religious discourse.
- That's weird, why would you even decide to close it? what people are supposed to do in their free time?
- That is exactly the point. We are very conservative and we don't believe in things that take our time other than religion.
- But the theatre production was not entirely absent from the colonial landscape, they still do it in private for the wealthy and in temporary stages outside.
- This actually reminds me of how humans can be similar. Even in our recent days we had such period like this in the 1970's.
- Do you know that women roles are played by young boys?
- Acting was considered a disreputable profession, and it was deemed improper for women to engage in such activities.
- Coming!
- Now come on, we have one last thing to talk about...let's go back to my home.
- I would never thought that this will happen in the future too, I guess it is human nature, haha
- That is true, I enjoyed showing you few places. Now one last thing
- I didn't notice that it got dark, time went by so fast.
- Hello Ms. Elizabeth
- Hello darling, there's one more thing I need to show her before she leaves.
- Welcome home, I'm glad you are both okay. You took too long.
- Who is it??
- Since we were talking about literature previously, I did not mention someone who has an impact in our age!
- John Milton!
- I know him I learned about him in Prof. Afraa's class!He wrote Paradise Lost! It is an epic in 12 books and took 5 years to finish!
- I cannot believe it, the original version by John?!
- Exactly! it is also called the John Milton age alongside being called the Puritan Age
- This is his book by the way!
- Yes! You can take home with you
- Wow, I cannot thank you enough for telling me some interesting facts about lives, and I get to go home with a special gift!
- We are glad that we could help someone from the future. I never thought people would be still interested in our era.
- That is true
