Milton begins Paradise Lost by stating the theme of the epic, which is one of several epic conventions.

Other conventions: the style is elevated and formal, and the setting is vast in scope.
Answer: If I’m not mistaken; Sewall quotes Matthew 19:6 from the Bible to argue that all humans are equal in the eyes of God, hence slavery is immoral.
Explanation:
Sewall was a well documented abolitionists who unlike many argued, as evident in this passage, that all humans are equal. he does this using the biblical reference stating the same as well as the concept of Redemption.
By saying that the black people from Africa are redeemable, he urges the Christians to think of them in the same purview they think of their fellow man from. the possibility of redeeming the slaves with christian faith is presented by him as a way of elevating them from their plight. Using the Bible, he is also able to argue that the condition of the saves and the black people from Africa can be the fault of white people.

B. The name of the one was Obstinate and the name of the other Pliable. Now, by this time, the man was got a good distance from them; but, however, they were resolved to pursue him, which they did, and in a little time they overtook him.
An allegory is a story, poem or picture that has a hidden meaning, usually moral or political.
In the quote from "The Pilgrim's Progress," by John Bunyan, Christian is followed by Obstinate and Pliable. They intend to bring him back after he leaves his wife and children to save himself, who is overwhelmed by his sin and heads to the "Wicked Gate" for salvation. Finally, Obstinate and Pliable reach him, but he refuses to go back home.
The American burying beetle is an insect that plays an extremely important role in the ecosystem of the eastern United States. The beetle is also well-known for being included in the book <em>Hope for Animals and Their World</em> by Jane Goodall. In this book, Jane Goodall shares her enthusiasm for this little animal. Goodall is not only enthusiastic about the animal due to its importance. She also discusses how conservation efforts have helped the once dramatically threatened beetle population.
Lou Perrotti (director of conservation programs at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island) and Jack Mulvena (executive director of the Rhode Island Zoological Society and Roger Williams Park Zoo) were both instrumental in helping the beetle population recover. Goodall conveys the importance of this story, as well as the importance of the beetle, by using several rhetoric devices, such as logos (argument from logic) and pathos (argument from emotion).
In terms of structure, the poems are very different. The haiku is only three lines long and discusses a single moment in time; “Digging” is much longer, has many stanzas, and jumps between time periods. There are some ways in which the poems are similar, however. For example, the speakers of both poems discuss how their writing is related to and inspired by farming or gardening.
