    Philbrick’s main purpose in writing the Mayflower was to illustrate to the readers, that the story of the Pilgrims does not end with the First Thanksgiving, nor was it simple as the modern generation perceived it to be. Instead, it is a fifty-five year journey, which is filled with both disastrous and courageous times and whose customs and beliefs are still carried on to us today. The preface of the Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War contains few lines that state the thesis of the book. One of line by Philbrick states that, “I grew up thinking the story of the Pilgrims ended with the First Thanksgiving… however when you look at how the Pilgrims and their children maintained fifty year of peace with the Wampanoag…or how peace suddenly erupted into a war… the story of the Pilgrims did not end with the First Thanksgiving.” (Philbrick 1)

  • Sinners Of An Angry God By Jonathan Edwards

    486 Words  | 2 Pages

    A picture is worth a thousand words. In “Sinners of an Angry God”, Jonathan Edwards captures an image of hell in the Puritan’s mind. Creating a sense of fear during the Great Awakening, Edwards urges the parishioners to accept God as their Savior and avoid sinful behavior. Edwards passionately tries to persuade the Puritans to realize their eternal danger of sin by using fiery diction that creates a fear of hell, and dramatizing human weakness through a primal human fear. Edwards begins his sermon with the use of imagery to create for the audience an image of hell as “someone’s foot sliding” and a “fiery oven”.
