Edwards continuously uses fear to persuade the audience because it allows the…

Puritans belief on eternal life in heaven was heavily based upon whether or not you've committed a sin. Damned were believed to go to hell while elects lived out eternity in heaven. Although no one was ever sure who god would pick as an elect or a damned they usually assumed that non sinners went to heaven. While Hester and Arthur have committed a major sin, both have been forgiven by god for a multitude of reasons expressed mostly towards the end of the story through dialogue and points of view…

Achilles, Priam, Terry and Charley take up the opportunity to regain their new titles as honest and…

Sin began with Adam and Eve and still reigns in our world today. Sin is not a popular word in my vocabulary and brings up many memories, which include guilt, sadness and shame. Realizing my sin and turning away from sin is a daily decision. “The Bible declares we are sinners both by…
