The rhetorical situation that is prevalent throughout the text is that following God will allow individuals to live an eternal bliss in Heaven, and those who wish to go against God’s will are to come to terms with an everlasting perdition in Hell. Edwards incorporates many rhetorical devices throughout his sermon, including the use of ethos and pathos to appeal to ethics and emotion. In using logos, Edwards introduces Bible verses to his audience to give credit for the corroboration of his points of

Initially, the cover and title page of the book both play a key role in the layout of the story. On the cover, the artistic style of the illustration looks like a cartoon and a painting. This style is very realistic because of the situation portrayed on the cover; yet playful at the same time because of its comical vibe. The cover also looks three-dimensional and the author seems to be using a straightforward perspective of art.
