"cold" on both a scholarly and intellectual level. The transcendentalism believes that soul and mind should explore the laws which traverse the universe. Mathers believes in the Puritans strict interpretation of the Bible. However, both theologians find that preachers need to engage the soul in order to get people to focus in church, so that individuals can better their religious understanding. Although opposite in most religious theories, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Increase Mathers share a…

In fact there are even some things that we disagree on but that doesn’t mean that all of it isn’t helpful. Randy Pausch was a smart man who had a lot of good advice.

Early on in the story we are first introduced to Mr. Parsons the author mentions…
