Read the passage from “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”

English

dmitriy555 [2]2 years ago

Answer:

The narrator's tone is elevated. Because it's not meant to make people feel better, but to tell them what will happen if they don't change their ways and follow God's rules. He wants to make his readers and listeners afraid and dreadful, but he also wants them to want to stop doing bad things and change their lives. He speaks directly to the congregation at times, which adds authenticity and relevance to the sermon's ideas.

"They were always exposed to Destruction, as one that stands or walks in slippery Places is always exposed to fall" - simile, or comparison of two actions using the preposition "like" or "as" "What are we, that we should think to stand before him, at whose Rebuke the Earth trembles, and before whom the Rocks are thrown down?" - a rhetorical question that doesn't require an answer because the answer is self-evident. To put it another way, we are nothing.

"The Sword of divine Justice" - a metaphor that represents something else. In this instance, the Sword of divine Justice symbolizes God's wrath, which may be cruel to sinners but is necessary for his justice.

"The Pit is prepared, the Fire is made ready, the Furnace is now hot, ready to receive them, the Flames do now rage and glow" - visual and tactile imagery. Even though he's discussing moral concepts like sin and punishment, his use of imagery like a blazing Hell can transport listeners to another world entirely.

These elements may have created a fearful atmosphere in the audience. As sinners, we all have a sense of dread and fear, which they help to evoke in the reader.

Milla found the following evidence for her literary analysis of Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken.”
jenyasd209 [6]

<em>A claim that is able to support this evidence may be;</em>

C. In “The Road Not Taken,” Robert Frost addresses the theme that an insignificant choice can have a significant effect.

<u>The speaker says in the poem that the roads were basically the same. There is no questioning that the speaker did or did not take the road that was less traveled, because he did not. He believed they were the same. </u>

<u>As for the sigh, it can be interpreted in different ways, except, the sigh and the last stanza cannot be interpreted as if the speaker is happy because he took the unpopular and less traveled path. That idea is not presented at all in the poem. </u>

Option B caught my attention and led me to believe it may or not be the correct answer as well.

<u>Nevertheless, the speaker states that he shall be telling this with a sigh because there is a certain amount of regret. </u>

<u>The speaker is telling this with a sigh because he could not take both roads.</u>

You can also ask yourself, <em>"Why is it called The Road Not Taken" and not "The Road Taken"</em> ?

The sigh seems to be a sigh of regret.

In at least 150 words, explain the role of women in Rilke’s life, and how this role is reflected in poems such as “Spanish Dance
Ugo [173]

Rainer Maria Rilke was one of the most known and respected poets of the <em>XIX century</em>.

For him the women symbolized many things, he saw them as <em>¨purer and humanistic¨</em> beings, with different positive aspects to remark and high light in an era where the women´s authority and figure were strongly debilitated.

This male chauvinist society behavior practically obliged the women to adapt to it, sometimes having to leave their ¨essence¨ in aside, and start to act in a more<em> ¨manly way¨</em>, without mentioning that normally the duties designed to women were considered not important or influent (housewife´s as an example).

Rilke´s was against this situation and highlighted the women's capacity to perform any task effectively, without having to copy or perform it the same way of a male, sustained their capacity to proceed properly before any situation, and basically saw the women as something unique, useful, necessary.

In different poems, he describes and highlights the women's qualities and ways to perform different duties in an effective and captivating way, having the capacity to influence completely their surroundings.

Which sentence does not have faulty​ parallelism? A. A​ high-fiber diet allows the dieter to eat unlimited amounts of many green
Flura [38]

The answer is D.

"Keep", "factor", and "calculate" are all verbs in the list of things the new system allows teachers to do. The other sentences are inconsistent with their list of verbs/adjectives/nouns. Thus, option D is the only one that is grammatically correct.

I am not too good at explaining, so let me know if you are still confused.

Hope this helps! :)
