Puritans believed in hard work and pleasing God. Therefore in this essay I will be comparing and contrasting three Puritan writings that were written by Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor, and Jonathan Edwards. Their writings express perspectives of Puritan beliefs, however the differences in the writings show the variations between the purpose of their writings, the language, and the tone. In this essay I will first look at Bradstreet’s poem, second I’ll review Taylor’s poem, third I will analyze Edward’s sermon, and finally I will state the similarities between the three.

Today’s modern day tragic heros are different from medieval tragic hero but still share similar characteristics. Shakespeare is famous for having tragic heros in his play for example the play Macbeth, he kills everyone to become king of Scotland. He eventually loses his mind and doesn’t realize what he is doing is wrong, at the end of the play he is killed but the audience feels no sympathy for it. On the essay I will talk about Harvey Dent (two-face) from the film The Dark Knight. He can be closely compared to MacBeth. Is bad actions are because he want to have control over something.

Edward Teach, who was most commonly known as Blackbeard, was one of the most devilish and most notorious pirate ever known. Teach was only a pirate for about two years, but he still got the label. It wasn't just his travels or treasure that made him one of the most famous pirates, but his looks played a huge part. Blackbeard's few adventures, and crazy punishments are just a few things that made him the infamous Blackbeard historians know today.

An important part of Colonial American Religion were Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd. These men were people who changed the world through their own style.

Puritan people may hide there self from view while sinning but they can't hide from God. Edward's wrote "Sinners..." shows how People who sin are viewed in gods eyes. While Hawthorne who wrote "The ministers..." show how the people treat the minister just because of the black veil he wears. The people may think there not sinful even though the sin in private. They believe if your not seen nobody hears about your awfulness.

One could say that both Edwards and Pontiac would be quick to agree that people should go in with the old and out with the new. Edward lost his congregation when he took his revivals too far and Pontiac received a message from his god that the Indians should revert back to being Indians instead of taking up the white man’s arms. The community turned against Edwards for committing such an act, much like when Paine wrote The Age of Reasoning and was ridiculed and despised because people felt like he was attacking Christianity. Both of these men ended up dying alone and lonely. The ideal that everyone should have knowledge and understanding of their works is one that both Edwards and Paine adhered to with pride. The brilliant minds of these authors may be hidden from their works, but the brilliance lies in the fact that a commoner could easily

Both scrooge stories are good but they have their differences for example the scenarios are different, in the play the story is more visualized than the story, in the play the author is Israel Horovitz and in the play is Henry Edwards. In the play the charachters development is better than the movie,The characters are better described in the play but in the movie by visualizing them you know how they are, the characters emotions are more visuable than in the movie. For example the characters, the characters is a detail that the play and the story make different for example the story does not give us a lot of details from the characters but the play give us the sufficient information of characters to know the difference between them, both types

The world at times either ignores outcast and misfits or makes fun of them. Tim Burton likes the idea of characters who do not fit in but have a significant impact on their world. In Burton's films Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Edward Scissorhands, each character has a special personality that sets them apart from the rest. Burton uses lighting and color in his films to prove that no one needs to flow with society in order to be pleased and comfortable with who they are.

he was unable to deal with the power of the Godwine, and was even less

Jonathan Edwards’ autobiography is different than Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography because Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography is factual and mostly secular, while Jonathan Edwards’ autobiography is almost entirely about his religious pursuits. Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography doesn’t use strong language, nor does he question his previous practices, while Edwards’ autobiography has both. Both Franklin and Edwards’ had some religious ideas, but they were quite different. Franklin’s autobiography begins with a short introduction and he quickly proceeds to tell his life’s story with a few short asides about his wife and some other comments, and then his opinion of religion. The rest of the autobiography is factual.

Every year, dressed in black with a large brimmed hat and a white scarf (Blitz) at midnight, a man stops by Edgar Allan Poe’s grave. Carrying a bottle of cognac, he mutters this phase, “ Cineri gloria sera venit” meaning “Fame comes too late for the dead” (Blitz) in English. The man takes a drink of the cognac and pours some out of the bottle for Poe. Edgar Allan Poe is still an inspiration to many even today.

After reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, I think that this book is a very well-written novel. I truly enjoyed the discussion of the family’s history regarding the house and the Sawtelle dogs. However, when comparing this novel to other books I had previously read, I feel that the novel left some questions at the end. Although I did like the story line and reading about the Sawtelles, I felt that the ending was upsetting. For instance, Trudy will never know Claude’s motive to kill Edgar and the fact he killed Gar. This bothered me. Another episode that I disliked occurred at the end of the novel. When all the dogs left the kennel; this bothers me as the reader. Since the dogs measured their lives by the presence of Edgar. Therefore, with

In the world of Westeros with so many characters and storylines many seem to find character or characters they can relate to. Coming from a family of 11, I can relate to more Game of Thrones characters than most, especially since the show is so centered on family and relationships. The Clegane brothers, Sandor and Gregor Clegane, have a very unpleasant relationship. Both being physical freak of nature, they can kill people with a single swing of the sword. However, these two brothers want each other dead. One look at Sandor’s face you see his burned skin, and the story goes when Sandor and Gregor were kids, Gregor saw Sandor playing with his toy knight. He didn’t say anything, just grabbed his face, and put it a fire place as the young boy
