Be sure to include:
1. who you are - the more details the better.
2. a picture of "you" that is from the Puritan era
3. how you may/ or may not have sinned according to the Puritan ethic, or what you are worried about
4. a description of what you imagine awaits you using plenty of imagery and 3 vocabulary words
