The Journal Of John Woolman Summary

John Woolman writes the literary work “The Journal of John Woolman”. Wolman’s writings are complex and at times it is hard for the reader to understand where the author is going, for example, Woolman states, “I stood up and said some words in the meeting, but not keeping close to the divine opining, I said more than was required of me” (Woolman 602). The reader must have an understanding of the Quaker religion to know that Woolman misspoke by using worldly wisdom instead of bible based wisdom. The reader may have found more understanding in the reading if the author had of elaborated on what was said. In general Woolman’s writings may be complex, but flowing, Woolman helps the reader by writing in a chronological manner and explaining his thoughts,
