The Amish
I read an article about the Amish who are living in America recently. Today, some of these people live in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They lived in Great Britain before more than several hundred years ago. Because of religious wars between the Roman Catholic Church and Protestants , **the Amish people is are one of the splinter groups formed outside of Rome's religious rule who are the particularly conservative, rural Christants situated in what is today America.** (this sentence need work. Suggestions:"The Amish origins were a result of the conflict between the Protestant movement and Catholic Church. They were one of the splinter groups which formed outside of Roman Catholic rule. Today, they are conservative Christians, who live in rural America." )And , the Amish Mennonities are so conservative that they made more enemies than friends. They wanted to preserve their peculiar traditional lifestyle, so they started British colonies and terriotes around the 1700's, before the United States were formed as became an independent country. There they found a place that is the religious freedom that they had sought.
As we all know, America is about rock and roll, modern technology, and it leads the fashion scenes. But few Amish get rid of their traditional lifestyle to enter mainstream American society. They still drive buggys instead of cars. Their life is quiet and placeful peaceful.
As modern day life is so complicated,their simple way of life might seems to make more and more sense.
**Good job.
Amish do own buggies, but they will ride in cars and planes to travel long distances. And they do use smartphones, when doing commercial business in nearby cities.
America is more than Rock and Roll: There's Hip Hop, Jazz, Folk, Country, RB, etc. etc.
