Unit 4 Autobiography and Speeches

1. I think this unit gone be about the different beliefs of religion and different cultural beliefs.

2.  The differences between the Puritans and the Rationalists was that the puritans believed that god was the cause of every thing that happened, and they believed that humans had certain rites to follow. The rationalists believed that science could solve anything if wanted to be defined and the puritans didn't believed in that.


3. The purpose of the writing of what he had written was to try and make things little  better and try and make things right by his point of view. Hes using reasoning instead of emotions by trying to make a list of ideas that people would agree to go by or follow. In the Equiano story he was trying to make people feel sorry for him and what he was going threw and Benjamin was trying set things that people might use or should go bye like Equiano was talking about all the pain and hard times and franklin was setting ideas for example:

These Names of Virtues with their Precepts were

1 . Temperance.
Eat not to Dullness
Drink not to Elevation.

2. Silence.
Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself.
Avoid trifling Conversation.

3. Order.
Let all your Things have their Places.
Let each Part of your Business have its Time.

4. Resolution.
Resolve to perform what you ought.
Perform without fail what you resolve.

5. Frugality.
Make no Expense but to do good to others or yourself:
i.e. Waste nothing.

4. 

 5.  "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."

-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN-

* The reason why this one stuck with me is because it basically what is happening today in real life an its absolutely true

6. *What he is trying to persue us to do is take charge and fight before we get attacked first.

    *his first example of his arguement is "They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary."

     * his second example of his argument is " Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us".

Slaves Narritive and Puritans Unit 3

1. What i think this unit will be covering is comparing different story and relating them to each other using their historical backgrounds and comparing them to other time periods that we go over in other story's that we read.

2. This video was basically telling the people that god was a angry god and that at any given time he can choose whether you belonged in heaven or hell an that there was nothing but his hands holding you above hell and he could choose to drop you whenever he wanted to. the meaning of this video was to scare you and to make you believe that he was so disappointed and angry with every one in the world and no matter what nobody could stop him from being mad. Some ways that i think cultures may class is because the may have different ideas and ways of worshiping god than their culture do in the video.

3. This video is relying on emotion to scare you to make you afraid of god.
Example: like when he speaks about the lake of bremstorms hes basically saying its a big lake of fire that is coming to burst with so much hatred and wrath that is coming uncontrollably

4. The type of simile that was used in the video was when he said : The wrath of god is like the great water that are damned for the present that increased more an more waiting to burst and he also made a imagery picture which was when he said gods hand is the only thing that's holding you above fire of hell which is basically saying or making a picture that god is really the one that decides whether your going to hell or heaven.

5. The story was really about slaves and there life and how they were tired of being treated the way they was and, Equiano was a enslaved that had been threw a lot with slavery and he thought it was horrible so he expressed his feelings threw a narrative that explain everything he had seen and every feling the slaves felt to make people see.
     In the story Equiano uses emotions threw out the story to persuade people and how he did that was by showing people the way slaves felt threw out slavery and how much pain and suffering they went threw and what they had to deal with. He made me feel really sad because and and sometimes threw out the story a little mad at how they were treated as slaves. Equiano's purpose of writting the way he did was to make people feel said and bad for what they where doing to insasent people. 


6. The poem was basically saying she wants live for ever b and love but when she passes she wants to go to heaven and she wants her husband to also join her when she leaves the earth so they can live forever together. What they believed in was god rewards you for doing the write thing and your reward is heaven for example: In the poem it stated " Thy love love is such I can no way repay. The heavens reward thee manifold,I pray. Then while we live , in love let's so persever That when we live no more, we may live ever."
