The pioneer of letting blacks play baseball
In the excerpt "Sinners in the hands of an angry God", Jonathan Edwars personifies hell. As we can easily point out Edwaras adds a mouth gaping open meaning as it is an actual living being; he also describes it as a living being when he states "there is nothing between you and hell". Therefore, it is clearly understood the the personification figure is about hell. On the other hand, the effect the author wants to project in the audience is that the mercy of God can rescue his people from this hungry creature. The author has a clear purpose to make this strong personification, to inspire his people from fear to believe it God's power.
Explanation:
"We Wear a Mask" is famous Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem.
It deals with the status of African-American community in the late 1800s. Using "we" in the title of the poem, he gives it a personal note emphasizing that he is tha part of the community too.
Mask suggests hiding their real feelings, just like the mask hides the face. These lines suggest pretending to be happy in order to fit in, because showing real emotions falls on deaf ears and brings about lack of understanding. More precisely, these lines show that this methaphoric mask hides their pain and sadness ("torn and bleeding hearts") and hides the words they would express this with, replacing it with things other want to hear ("myriad subtleties").
