Unit Three: Slave Narrative an The Puritans

1.Essential Questions
  • How do we use emotion as a persuasive tool?                                                                                  When you are trying to convince somebody to do something.
  • What is the difference between emotion and reason?                                                                     Emotion-is a feeling for example hate, love, happy                                                                          Reason- facts or actions that are caused
For what I have looked up in this unit is going to be about the people in the 16th century.

2. The native Americans believed in the myths. Myths that the people would tell them for example one myth that I have heard is that if you get you feet brushed you will get married with a widow. The puritans believed in  god and in the devil a lot and where they would go after death. They would believe that if you were bad with the people you would not go to god.

3. I think that sermon gives more of a reason then of an emotion because it says that he does not know why you are still here with god acting bad and that that's why you should be with the devil in hell.

4. A simile that was used in the video was the wrath of god is like a great water that are damned for the present that increased more as more waiting to burst.
 A imagery was when he said the dreadful pit of the glowing flames of the wrath of god.

5. This story was about Equinao and his life when he was kidnapped as a child. He tells about his journey to the land of the white people. He describes how his master treated him when he was there. He talks about the conditions that were going on in the ship when traveling. He expresses his emotions when he reunited with his sister and his emotions when she was taken again.
  He had a sad feeling. He describes what he sees with pain and want the reader to feel the pain that he is seeing. As soon as he begain to feel happy, his happiness was taken away from him. By expressing the emotion that he felt, Equinao wants you to imagine what slavery was like and that it was bad.

6. These poem is saying that everybody will no live for ever but we we loved.She uses a happy and sad emotion in this poem.
The puritans believed in god and the devil a lot. One example is were they say that the wrath of god is like a great water that are damned for the present.
