American Lit: "Sinners in the Hands"

"Personal Narrative" critical reading was stamped and discussed. We then listened to "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and compared the two. You selected 5 images from the sermon to add to your list of Puritan images in your journal; you then categorized the images in 3 categories, Nature, the Divine, and the Individual.
Homework: In Journal: 1 page total
1) How would you summarize what the Puritans were all about on the basis of all we've read and learned about them (poetry, "city on a hill" speech, "Personal Narrative," "Sinners," and doctrine notes.)
2) Contrast your chart of Puritan images with the Native American chart. Compare the world views of the Puritans and the Native Americans.
3) Predict what would happen if a group of modern day Americans were subjected to the ideals and code of behavior of the Puritans.
