Being a bookbinder is tough!

You have to carefully fold the page, then you have to make the cover, then you have to bind the book cover to the pages, then grab a  HAMMER and hit the cover to the pages so it stays flat, and close to the book. But on the bright side of things, I sold a book to a wealthy young man! For 23$! The one he got was a nice leather covered one. It’s always a back-breaking day for me, but making the book’s are worth it all! You may end up getting the money i got! Today was payday, and i got 16$ full dollars! Add 23$ and 16$ together, it’s 39$ full dollars! I got a-lot of money for working hard. So, me working hard and basically breaking my back, was all worth it! The next day may be even harder than last, but the thing is you need a-lot of patience to have this job, patience and creativity, because of what i said before, you have to carefully fold the pages, make the cover, bind them together, then grab a hammer and hit the cover against the pages so it stays flat. It’s the next day at work, more back-breaking than the last as i said, I sold a book this time to a not wealthy, but poor man, he gave me 10$ witch isn’t a lot at all! Not compared to the wealthy young man. I don’t have much money, i need to start making better books to attract the wealthy. It’s been a few days after, and i made at least 2 leather books! I’m working on my 3rd one right now.

*Now, being myself, a 11 year old, you can see, being a bookbinder wasn’t easy.. they had lots of work to do, making money, and making the books, it was really hard for them, espically with the fact that they don’t get payed much by their boss.*

Who is Mary Dyer?

1: Mary was a colonial American Puritan turned Quaker.

2: Mary is one who practices or preaches a strict moral/spirtual code.

3: She is an important person because she is one of the four executed quakers.

4: One of Mary Dyer’s famous quotes are within these sentences  “Mary Dyer, you shall go from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, and there be hanged till you be dead.” She replied, “The will of the Lord be done.”

5: Born in England, Mary Dyer challenged the religious persecution of Quakers in the American colonies in the 1600’s a challenge she paid for with her life. She and her husband, William Dyer, emigrated to Massachusetts in 1635. She sympathized with Anne Hutchinson’s religious views and moved to Rhode Island in 1638.

6: The four Quakers who were hanged, including Mary Dyer, actually chose to die, rather than agree to permanent exile from Massachusetts and their preaching and religious support there.  They were given the opportunity to leave—and live—and chose instead to take a stand for liberty of conscience in the hope that their deaths would be so shocking that the persecution would end. They were hanged for civil disobedience. Mary Dyer’s letter to the Boston magistrates shows that she was opposed to their “bloody” laws of religious intolerance and persecution, and that she rejected their conditional offer of release.

7: Mary Dyers last words were:

“Nay, I came to keep bloodguiltiness from you, desireing you to repeal the unrighteous and unjust law made against the innocent servants of the Lord. Nay, man, I am not now to repent.”

That is Mary Dyer
