Based on the given excerpt above from The Redeemed Captive by John Williams, the phrase from this excerpt that demonstrates a Puritan influence would be this: <span>"but I refused once and again; he told me he would dash out my brains with his hatchet if I refused." This phrase shows that they are very serious about people who believe and follow God. Hope this answer helps.</span>
Ummmmmm, im guessing your asking why we have first paragraphs. we have them because it is what kind of summerizes what your going to be talking about in your writing and you hook the reader with something interesting so it makes them wanna read the rest of your writing. your trying to grab the readers attention and tell them what the writing is about. :) I hope that this helps!
Do you have like a picture ?
