1. I think this unit is going to be about a lot of comparing and contrasting amongst the two worlds. Im not neccarssarly meaing two worlds as in two Earth's. I mean the past in the present. I think we as a whole class would really enjoy this unit jusy by the conversation me and Mr. Siegmund just had. We talked about the music from the 70's and the music in 2011. I told him a phrase from someone i listen to and he thought it meant something totally different.
We will also be discussing persuasive emotion, meaning how people play with others emotions to get what they want or need, such as the humane society comercial with the animals they want you to feel bad for. Sometimes it could be a bad thing if your taking advantage of it and not using it in its proper manner. This is differrent from using reason, facts.!
2. The Native Americans they think that God and niceand has blessed them with many things. An is example of this is The Coyote Story: One day, Coyote was walking along. The sun was shining brightly, and Coyote felt very hot.
"I would like a cloud," Coyote said.
So a cloud came and made some shade for Coyote. Coyote was not satisfied.
"I would like more clouds," he said. More clouds came along, and the sky began to look very stormy. But Coyote was still hot.
"How about some rain," said Coyote. The clouds began to sprinkle rain on Coyote.
"More rain," Coyote demanded. The rain became a downpour.
"I would like a creek to put my feet in," said Coyote. So a creek sprang up beside him, and Coyote walked in it to cool off his feet.
"It should be deeper," said Coyote.
The creek became a huge, swirling river. Coyote was swept over and over by the water. Finally, nearly drowned, Coyote was thrown up on the bank far away. When he woke up, the buzzards were watching him, trying to decide if he was dead.
"I'm not dead," Coyote told them, and they flew away.
That is how the Columbia River began
However the Puritans had the leader that taught them that they were going to hell bacause of the wrong doings of Adam & Eve. The man in the video who was preaching was saying that he is the only chosen one for heaven.
3. Yes, he's using emotion. The speaker is using fear to scare the listeners and followers. I know that because he says, "its like a rock falling through the spiders web." We all know a rock can not hold a rock. He's saying when you die your just going to fall right to the hell gates.!
4. "Lake of burning brimestone and the dreadful pit of the glowing flames of the wrath of God." this is a metaphor because he is comparing God's anger to things on earth. He is comparing God's wrath to the flames on earth. "If God should withdraw his hand they would avail no more to keep you from falling than the thin air to hold up a person that is suspended in it." This is creating an image in my head that a man i jumping off the highest building in the world.!
5. Olaudah Equiano wrote a story about when he was a young boy and how we watched people come and kidnapp people of his villiage and he used to hide so he wasn't taken by a kidnapper. But indeed his day came. Which hima and his sister were both taken and tied up. Their mouth's were covered with tape to keep from talking. A while later he was put on a slave ship where it had an awful stintch that made him loose his appetite. He refused to eat and was brutially beaten when he wasnt.!
He uses emotion to tell us how he was kipnapped and what happened during the kipnapping. "but my cries had no other effect than to make themtie me faster and stop my mouth, and then they put me into a large sack." He is telling us this so we can understands where he is coming from and wants us to feel sad through this.!
6. This poem is about a woman who feel that her husbands treats her very good. So she wants to reward him buts feels that the things on earth isn't enough for him so she prays and hopes he get into heaven because she's a purtain. Purtains believe that everyone is going to hell except for the chosen few.!!
"The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. Then while we live, in love let's so persevere. That when we live no more, we may live ever." I chose this because i feel that this is the reward she wants her husband to recieve because she feels she can't pay him back for being a good husband with the fines things on earth. She feels that material things isn't a big enough reward.
