Label each section with the author's name (followed by a :) & remember to use page #'s or "quotes" typed out (in case you have a different textbook).
Do NOT write over 10-12 sentences MAXIMUM: TOTAL!
A)Winthrop
- Discuss your personal faith beliefs (if any) in relation to Winthrop's sermon style. If you do not feel comfortable making personal connections, simply discuss your opinions upon his sermon style.
B)Roger Williams
- Why do you think it might be odd that Williams says "they" natives "from Adam and Noah that they spring" in regards to their origins? (pg. 104)
- William's discussion of "violence" in the name of religion seems to transcend time; discuss in relation to modern issues you are familiar with (any religion is applicable to discuss). (pgs. 107-108)
C)Mather
- Many are under the misconception that Mather actually attended the Salem Witch Trials; even his father Increase Mather was supposedly involved (but was in England during accusations). He was interested and even supposedly visited accused, but did not attend trials. What do you make of his research, interest, & writings concerning the trials (pgs. 151-155). I find that "real life" murder/ sci-fi is more interesting, or stranger than fiction.
- Edwards had a daunting study schedule (13 hours a day); what do you make of that in relation to his long personal narrative, & the fact that he had 11 children & had been the 5th of 11 children himself?
- Name some specifics in any of Edward's writings that you felt made him more relatable.
A)O'Connor
- Choose one important theme from the short story: names, education, arrogance, judgment, or religion & discuss how you feel it was the most important aspect of it.
- Choose the most shocking, interesting, or upsetting way slavery was justified through Biblical texts.
*NOTE: I know many have had issues being concise with this post; however, I REALLY want you to try your best; I found this interesting tool; think of it in THAT way!! Hashtags & Twitter are actually great ways to practice conciseness!
