When she was in the grocery store and the owner yelled who let this thirty dog in here
The correct answer is 4: The speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new.
In this Holy Poem 14, “Batter my Heart”, by John Donne, the poet is addressing God directly and he is implying that the usual way God enters into everybody’s life is not enough for the poet. The poet does not need gentle manners: to knock, to shine, to mend.
On the other hand, in order to let God get into his life, he needs a tough hand: to force, to brake, to blow and burn. This is likely because the poet might consider his soul and heart are too corrupt for such gentle ways.
The paradox, or apparently contradictory idea, here is to attach God such a violent behavior.
Answer:
The Toleration Act of 1688 reflects that there was a high degree of religious intolerance both in Britain and in the United States.
In fact, religious intolerance is the main reason why the New England Colonies were founded in first place: they were settled by Puritan Separatists fleeing religious persecution.
The American colonies were largely independet of Britain, but they were still influenced by British affairs. The Toleration Act led to the development of a more tolerant culture in the colonies, because it attracted many British settlers from herethodox denominations who were now protected by the act.
