Slave Narratives and The Puritans

The student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods.

-  Ex. 1- Around John Smith time there was exploring going on.

Ex. 2- about thirty to forty years ago men tucked in their shirts, now majority of men where their shirt hanging out.

Ex. 3- about 100 years the first car was made of metal materials, forty years ago they changed and started making cars out of fiber glass.

1. How do we use emotion as a persuasive tool? - (Ex. Mr. Siegmund please give me a good grade, if not I will fail and I can’t graduate, and who knows what will happen to me and my family please.

2.  What is the difference between emotion and reason? Emotions- Is when you let your feels get in the way of your purpose Reason- When your facts is in the purpose

2.  How do their ideas of God differ?

(The Puritans believed that you were born with sin and that god hated everyone, and that only certain people would go to heaven and the rest will go to hell)

“God holds you in his hands between heaven and hell”

(In the story The Earth on the Turtle’s Back the god they see is caring and loving, also gave them a lot of things.)

3.   Does this sermon rely more on reason or emotion?  How do you know?

This sermon rely more on emotion, in the video they tell and show you how god treated them.

“There is the dreadful pit of glowing flames of the wrath of GOD, there hell’s gathing mouth wide open, nothing to stand a pond”    

(Jesus only died for a certain few people)

4. Johnathan Edwards relies on imagery and similies in "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God".  How well can you identify them?  Provide one example of each

“He looks upon you as of nothing, but to be casted in to the fire” (Comparing god to an angry god)

“Fearnest of his wrath in HELL, done nothing in the least to appease or abate that anger” 

(Clear image of hell blazing fires and the devil sitting in his chair pushing people into the fire)

5. Can you summarize the thoughts in the poem?  What tone does she take as she writes?

(She is saying why one of them should go to heaven; her husband is a good man so can both of them go to heaven. She also is saying that she can’t repay him for what he’s done so can the payment be that he goes to heaven. At the end of the poem she’s say (when they live no more, then we may live ever) She’s really saying when we die can we both live with each other in heaven.)

(She uses a tone like she’s praying so she is very com and relaxed)
