Pilgrims Progress Analysis

738 Words3 Pages

In what I have read so far from Pilgrims progress it is very straight forward and to me weird, but in an interesting way. I think that have the names of the characters being thing s like stubborn or whatever is different, it gives me no time to make a judgment call about any of the characters. It is like the author tries to make up your mind for you in how the reader should look at the characters, which I guess is fine in going with what the author is trying to do with this piece of writing. I have liked how the author puts in Bible almost story’s and scripture as just normal dialogue and stuff. I like it because I will be reading and then something will sound like something I know and I look in the margins and it says what Bible verse it is. On the other hand I feel like by take the scriptures out and putting them in as dialogue on might lose the context of a verse and it be taken in the wrong way and not how it was supposed to be read. …show more content…

The author probably intended the reader not to stop and rest while reading the story, which is probably why there are no breaks. I don’t know much about the time period that the book was written, I honestly don’t want to be wrong about thinking about this era, but I think that this book might would have changed some people’s minds on how they view a Christian’s journey. In this journey the Christian is laughed at and runs away from his home and something that stuck out to me was that he abandoned his family. Later on he talks with someone and says he could not convince them to come with him, as he is crying, but maybe its because I am from a broken home, but he just straight up leaves

Jamestown And Plymouth Compare And Contrast Essay

Being the first two well-known places in which the English would set out to colonize in 1607 and 1620, Jamestown, Virginia and Plymouth, Massachusetts hold very separate set of beliefs, standards, and outlooks on life then and the future to come. While paving the way for things such as slavery, taxes, ownership of land, inclusion of women, tobacco and government assemblies, John Smith and the people of Jamestown became a classical foundation for new life and economic growth for the new world that is, the United States. On the other hand, William Bradford and his people began to realize the intentions of the Church of England were unholy and had strayed away from God’s teachings from the Bible. With this in mind, the Pilgrims set on a voyage to the new world to seek religious freedom. As we know it, the Pilgrims sought for peace and a new way of living that was fair, just and free from religious corruptions.

What Was The Difference Between Jonathan Edwards And George Whitcomb

592 Words | 3 Pages

To me, it felt as though the people were stuck in somewhat of a religious trance of doing the same thing and worshiping the same for so many years. They were wanting a fresh start and a new way of life, but many didn’t have the courage to stand up for what they believed in because of the consequences that were enforced to the people that previously tried to do so. But thankfully for the two men that did have the courage to make a change, that change was for the better of society. Jonathan Edwards and George Whitcomb’s ideas revolutionized the way of life for the colonial people and brought them to a new and deeper level of their personal relationship with the Lord. Another thing that I learned and that interested me was that it wasn’t only the colonial people that were getting this new message of the gospel.
