questions

1. He hopes to scare people into his religion by giving very detailed scary sermons.


2. Edwards is talking about how the natural man is a sinner. Everyone is born with sin and the majority of his audience is the men at church.

3. Appease is to abate

4. He uses repetition to prove a point and make it seem worse.

5. He uses this clause to spike fear in the audience. He wanted the audience to fear god day and night and he used descriptive details to do so.

6. The purpose is to create a more emotional impact on the audience, to try to persuade the audiences answer.
7. He uses not willingly in every sentence to exaggerate his point. he uses the semicolons to emphasize each point of the statements.
8. Gods wrath is always ready for a person who sins. In this text the use of imagery is used to help understatement the power of god.
9.Edwards says that god is holding us over a fiery pit and if we sin he will drop us in it. Edwards tells his audience we need to be better followers of god.


10. Edwards uses ethos to pathos. He uses more emotion in his sermons to his audience rather than logos. His visions of god are very different from today and may seem illogical to us but may be logical to them.


11. The tone stays the same throughout the speech. We the people aren't worthy of being on earth and we are basically gods toys to play with. He keeps the tone of us on the verge of death. He claims that we are hanging over a fiery pit and one wrong move will send us to hell this idea of a horrible death also remains throughout the sermon.

12.These texts are meant to be heard he uses the example of the bow and arrow, and how god wrath is bent and the arrow made ready in the string and justice bends the arrow at your heart and strains the bow and it is nothing but the please of god and that of an angry God without any promise or obligation at all. This is meant to be heard.

13. His text is persuasive by giving dark scary details and visions of horror if they don't live by gods ways. This makes the audience fear their life on a constant basis and engulf themselves into the sermon.

                                  The yellow wallpaper

            The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman was written in a time when women didn't have as many rights as men and when men basically controlled them. So this shows the theme of the story is what can happen when men  isolate, and try to control Women like John did his Wife in this short story.

            In the begging of the story John takes his wife to a isolate house for a "summer vacation". His wife describes it as a "haunted house" and automatically assumes something is wrong. If someone were to put you in a abandoned house and told you you couldn't come out your room you would start feeling some of the emotions she did such as that John is very Controlling and how he discourages her imagination. This seems like John is treating her as if she was a child not as his wife and this is the start of her depression into insanity.

          John belittles his wife's intelligence not just by putting her in a nursery he puts her in a nursery that is described as for little kids. His wife points out that paper is torn off the wall and has starches and gouges on the floor and at one point even calls her little girl in the story. While being locked in her room she becomes very fixated with this yellow wallpaper and think that the woman inside of the it is trapped but what she doesn't know is that the women inside of the wallpaper is her. To me this is the start of her insanity that her husband John has drove her into. 

           By the end of the story John belittled and isolated his wife so far into insanity that she is hopeless and is convinced to see many women in the wallpaper instead of herself. He's wife is so insane that she suspects that John and his sister Jane are aware of her obsession of the wallpaper and she is going to free the woman that is trapped inside. While the wife is attempting to free the women trapped inside the yellow wallpaper her husband breaks into the room and is so shocked to see how insane he has turned his wife he faints.

        Therefore this classic short story about John and his wife written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman supports my theme of that by isolating, belittling, and controlling a women may drive her into a complete stage of insanity.

My name is Tyoun i play basketball but my favorite sport is Soccer. English is my favorite subject because I think it's the easiest all you have to do is read and answer questions. The best book I've read in high school is the hunger games. If I could be anyone for one day I'd be Josh Ramsuer because he's my idol and he's 6'5.
