Equiano writes a narrative detailing his journeys from salve to freeman while Edwards creates a religious sermon meant to scare the congregation into…

destruction we sometimes may seem to lose ourselves. After noticing how his friend Eliphaz responded, Job begins another argument. No longer cursing his existence, he now just wants all the pain to stop. He wants God to just leave him alone. Job wanted to know what could he have possibly done for God to use him as a target. When we are hit as hard as Job, like him, we begin to lose hope. “15. Where then is my hope? My hope—who can see it?” The second of the three friends, Bildad,…
