Growing up, I loved Jelly Bellies. The colors, flavors and seemingly limitless combinations had me captivated for hours on long road trips as my family moved from state to state. Almost without thinking, I would sort them. Blues and greens, browns and beiges, whites and blacks.

While Edward’s piece focused on religion and Paine’s on war, both discussed the reasons why people should conform to the views expressed by the two authors. Though vastly different in their nature and audience, the two texts were featured around the same idea: people need to change.
