Explanation: Characterization is a literary device that is used to highlight and explain the details about a character in a story. An irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems contrary to what one expects and it often has an amusing result. The theme is the underlying message of a story, it is what critical belief about life is the author trying to convey in the writing of a novel, play, short story or poem. Personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). The connotation of a word is the meaning given by the context or even by the readers (or listeners) based on their emotions or personal experiences. Foreshadowing is a giving a warning, an indication, or a hint of something that will happen in the future in a story. The denotation of a word is its literal meaning, the definition that we can find in a dictionary. And finally the tone of a text or sentence is the author's or speaker's attitude towards the audience, the subject or even the characters of the text.
Jonathan Edwards utilizes numerous striking pictures to make and strengthen his point to the individuals from his assembly. Maybe the most capable picture is the broadened allegory of God holding the heathen over the pit of hellfire. "… there is nothing amongst you and Hell except for the air; it is just power and minor delight of God that holds you up."
