The lie that proves difficult for him is that he has “bound himself to the devil’s service”(Pg.139) which will put him against the entire community.

In the opening of the sermon an analogy is stated between the ability of a person to crush a worm with the ability of God to cast his enemies to hell (First Paragraph). This supports the main idea of how God is a superior being, able to freely decide people’s fate. The author’s persistent imagery of Gods abhorrence towards sinners is continually mentioned as a form of repetition, to cause a vivid depiction of Gods wrath in the audience’s perspective of him. This is illustrated when it’s stated how unconverted men walk over the pit of hell and how God has unsearchable ways of taking wicked men out of the world (Paragraph 3). He also introduces a metaphor where he associates Gods wrath as a bent bow with an arrow aiming towards your heart; this again typifies Gods supremacy to take away sinners existence unless they convert (Paragraph 6).
The Vice President of the Confederacy Alexander H Stephens was very opinionated when it came to the differences between the northern and southern states. Many of his distinctions were mostly based on his idea of the south being in the complete right and the north was lining in falsehoods. His mindset was a very common idea held by most southerners at the time of the civil war. In the formation of the Confederacy, Stephens believed that there were basic rights and rules of nature that the Union was choosing to ignore.
The Reverend’s Loss. In a spiritual-judicial endeavor, a priest loses his sense of self, his piety, and his sanity. In ‘The Crucible By Arthur Miller’, when Reverend Hale first stepped into the light, he was very pious and very confident in his mission to eradicate witchcraft in Salem. Though as the play progresses Hale’s demeanor changes, communicating a sort of despair in the way he carries himself.
In the play "The Crucible" written by Arthur Miller, each and every character holds the trait of either being weak, showing courage or being truthful. Overall the play held a powerful message that sometimes things aren't how they seem and won't always work out for the good.

The girls were weak during this scene because they were all hoping to get something great out of this.
The play focuses on a group of young girls, specifically Abigail Williams, who let their emotions get in the way of reason and cause the death of the townspeople. In The Crucible, human failings, such
Back in a time where everything is black or white, good or evil, one is either with the church or a witch this leading to the persecution of those against “good”. In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller the belief that the church is always right and evil is always lurking caused many to die due to fake accusations.

This interpretation of God becomes the reference point for the rest of the sermon. All of the commands and accusations in the sermon rely on Edwards' portrait of God as an angry, all-powerful being that has no obligation to have mercy upon his creations. By convincing his congregation of God's wrathful character, Edwards is then able to convince the congregation that they are in danger of damnation and severe punishment at the hand of this wrathful God. Edwards characterizes God as a being that "abhors" mortal men and "looks upon [them] as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire" (200). Edwards then uses scriptural references to support his claims about the nature of God.
He warns the people how they will be "tormented" in hell. Such dreadfulness is associated with a Prisoner of War and how the enemy puts them through such agony that one would rather
On April 4, 1968, Robert F. Kennedy gave his remarks on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Robert’s goal was to inform people on Martin Luther King’s journey and to strengthen people’s attitudes on the whole situation. Robert’s main points throughout the speech were how the country as a whole should move forward, why the states should not resort to violence but unity instead, and he also addressed that the country needed unity, love, and compassion.
For years the human race has been obsessed with playing God. Often people blamed God for the death or injury of a loved one. Many wanted to make a change. Change the way we live and die. They were playing God.
Most communities in the world today believe that excluding harmful thoughts, ideas, actions, and sometimes people are ultimately the best course of action for uniting their group. An example is the exclusion of same-sex marriage in most states, but especially in the Catholic Church. By excluding same-sex marriage, the Catholic Church community unites with a feeling of purity towards their religious community. In the play, The Crucible, Arthur Miller presents the audience with a paradox that was exemplified through the Salem witchcraft trials. The paradox “Unity through Exclusion” means that a community will become closer together through the exclusion or exile of harmful people.
