In the text Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God‚ Edwards uses a real sermon that he wrote a long time ago. He uses a very angry and scary approach to get his point across. He basically scares the reader by saying that if you’ve ever sinned you will go straight to hell. In the text The Minister’s Black Veil‚ Hawthorne writes

The first day‚ when he wears the veil to church‚ he goes on like nothing is different‚ he preaches the sermon like he does every sunday‚ and then he leaves‚ almost like he can’t tell that the veil is there. But‚ during the sermon‚ the audience stirs and is obviously disturbed by the veil. There are even a few people who stand up and leave durring the sermon. In this story the pastor‚ Mr Hooper wears a veil to symbolize that everybody has secrets. He keeps the veil on even though

Jonathan Edwards was a Puritan minister and wrote the very famous sermon‚ Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. His words were very powerful‚ and even though it could be considered negative‚ people were affected. Edwards wanted to warn people of their fate‚ though they were supposedly damned anyway.

Christianity was more peaceful than it would definitely be unifying. But it most certainly was not. Many many christians were killed trying to spread christianity. After Jesus died‚ one of his disciples‚ Peter‚ gave the first Christian sermon. When peter gave his sermon‚ three thousand people joined Christianity. The religion reached all the way to Rome. Some Roman emperors were angry because the Christians refused to worship Roman gods. The Romans persecuted both Christians and Jews. In 70 C.E‚ the

Throughout The Scarlet Letter‚ Hawthorne uses a great deal of symbolism especially with the meaning of the scaffold. The scaffold starts out to be place of sin and humiliation but ironically becomes a place of true salvation. It is used by many characters to show their emotions as well as how people of the Puritan society treated Hester‚ Pearl‚ and Arthur Dimmesdale.
