Edward Taylor felt strongly in his beliefs of Puritan values and in doing so became a minister of his faith. Before becoming a minister, he believed that he needed to prove his entrance into the religion by expressing his conviction in written form to demonstrate that he was also a “chosen one”. His writings are full of emotion and parities with the bible providing proof of God’s will and love. Taylor wants to show that God is merciful and always the controlling factor in all situations through the Puritan beliefs. The poem "Upon Wedlock and Death of Children" he talks about his love and marriage to his wife and the death of his children.

In one instance, Adam and Charles give their father a gift for his birthday, however their father appreciates Adams gift more. This allusion to the Bible recreates the hurt Cain felt when God rejected his gift, however just as Abel did, Adam sacrifices much of his time and money to get his father a gift. Although, Adam did sacrifice much of what he had for the gift, it was for the wrong reasons. This situation conveys that Adam values what his father thinks, but it does not lead to his happiness because it was done selfishly. As he grows older Adam joins the military, as his father wants him to, but he gives up what he wants for his future.

The Screwtape Letters In the reading of “The Screwtape Letters” a devil’s advocate by the name of Screwtape advises his fellow nephew, Wormwood to sway a patient into wrong thinking and positioning. A great amount of critical thinking has me constantly trying to describe the forceful tactics of Screwtape and his very sly and cunning ways. While the book is primarily targeted to Christians, it can be read and interpreted differently by a wide range of people (in my opinion). The devil works in many different ways to try and achieve the ultimate goal of gaining another follower. Throughout this reading, I have selected three chapters that have caused me to think the most.

A true hero would not fear telling the truth to the people they love because anyone worth loving will forgive your

After Granny’s passing, Bayard improves as a person and has newfound knowledge in law what’s expected of him. He takes what he knows and makes a very courageous choice that ultimately proves that Bayard is a man now. Near the beginning of the story, Bayard is a cowardly young boy who is afraid of his grandmother’s punishment and acts in childish ways. After Bayard takes up law school, and gets a little older, his views and actions change for the better. He is also shaped by his father’s request for him to be “trained in the law [so he] can hold [his] own.” His father, who didn’t make the best of choices, was still a great factor in helping Bayard achieve greatness.

Frankenstein’s creature can be compared to the parable of the prodigal’s son found in Luke’s gospel of the bible. The prodigal’s son was a young man who was very immature in his ways. All he cared about was living fancily and lavishly. He asked his father for his inheritance and was granted his wish. After receiving the funds, he leaves his home and spends all of his money on foolishness.

Lung’s first son speaks poorly of his teacher, a “wise elder” of the town. Additionally, the third son of Lung disobeys his father by running away to join the army rather than become a farmer.
