Answer:

The sermon contains three key themes: Corrupt sinners face a fearful judgment. Time is short for the unrepentant: God's righteous wrath will come suddenly and unexpectedly. It's only God's free choice that extends the day of mercy and provides another opportunity to respond to his call.

Jonathan Edwards's sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" provides a glimpse into the way sermons were written and delivered during the Great Awakening. In this text, Edwards argues that nothing keeps wicked men out of hell, except for the pleasure of God. He is able to cast any person, at any point, into hell. God is as angry at the wicked people on Earth as he is at the wicked people in Hell, and so, they should repent soon, as they never know when their own judgement day might come.

How does lady macbeth feel about other people's opinions?

Vikki [24]

I think Lady Macbeth cares about what other people think. We can see that through her behavior towards her husband. She thinks he is unfit to rule because he is weak, and she is constantly trying to make him seem better in other people's eyes. She believes that she would be a much better ruler than him, if she were only a man. She is also trying to distract people from finding out who the real murderer is by fainting and drawing everyone's attention to her so that Macbeth wouldn't confess to his crimes.

According to Defoe, which quality is most valuable in a servant?

Travka [436]

Answer: C. Selflessness.

According to Defoe, a servant's best quality is selflessness. The ideal of a servant in Robinson Crusoe is Friday. Friday is an indigenous person from the Caribbean. He is rescued by Crusoe, and becomes his servant. Friday is a key figure in the novel, and an example of the selflessness Defoe values. Friday is willing to give anything for Crusoe, and he even asks to be killed rather than being forced to leave the service of his master.
