2. Pastiche is a literary piece that imitates another famous literary work of another writer. Unlike parody, its purpose is not to mock but to honor the literary piece it imitates.
The term pastiche also applies to a literary work that is a wide mixture of items such as themes, concepts and characters imitated from different literary works.

8. Thriller Vs. American Werewolf in London

9. Below are some major stylistic variations that a writer usually takes to create a pastiche from the original work: 
Plot: Take a plot of the story and take the outline. For example, choronogically - the weather changes, a relationship breaks, a marriage etc. Then, change the plot's outline from tragedy to comedy, or vice versa. 
Setting: Change the setting of a story. This is referring to the environment, including the physical environment and the social environment. For example, changing a story which takes place in a big city to a small town, or a forest or village etc. The time can also be changed, from past to present, or present to future. It is likely that the setting has to be changed to fit the change in time.
Character: Change the gender of a character. Turn a hero into a villain making fewest changes. These changes lead to certain changes in the story, for example their actions and dialogues. Ultimately, the message that is carried by their image would be altered. Therefore, the message that the writer wants to convey through his pastiche affects the way in how he changes the character and other literary aspects.
Point of view: Rewrite a story from a different point of view with the same tone, diction, and similar plot, setting etc. A different point of view often allows the writer to reveal new things that readers cannot see from the original work.
Dialogue: The change of dialogue is often a result in the change of setting or character. The change in character and setting would mean that the characters speak differently as they might come from different backgrounds like culture and social class.

11. Notes Voice: has two meanings as it concerns creative writers:
Voice is the author’s style, the quality that makes his or her writing unique, and which conveys the author’s attitude and personality, and character. Or
Voice is the characteristic speech and thought patterns of a first person narrator; persona. Because voice has so much to do with the reader’s experience of a work of literature, it is one of the most important elements of a piece of writing.
Authors purpose: The reason an author decides to write about a specific topic. Then, once a topic is selected, the author must decide whether his purpose for writing is to inform, persuade, entertain, or explain his ideas to the reader.

12. The Puritans

13. A “Purified” Church
The Puritans sought to purify the Church of England from within.
They believed the Church of England had become too garish in its worship.
They wanted to get back to the basics of Calvinism.

14. Puritanism A version of Calvinism
Asserts the basic sinfulness of humankind; but also declares that God has determined that some will be saved despite their sins
Thus, the experience of conversion, in which the soul is touched by the Holy Spirit, is an indication that one is of the elect

15. Puritanism Puritanism was a way of life (theocracy)
Puritan spiritual life stressed self-discipline & introspection
Puritans saw their lives as a “divine mission”: God gave them the New World for they were his chosen people
This idea is the precursor to the concept of Manifest Destiny

16. The Bible
Puritans believed The Bible to be the supreme authority on earth
They used The Bible to justify their occupation of the land and their use of force against Native Americans

17. Basic Tenets of Puritanism
Judgmental God (rewards good/punishes evil)
Predestination/Election (salvation or damnation was predetermined by God)
Original Sin (humans are innately sinful, tainted by the sins of Adam & Eve; good can be accomplished only through hard work & self-discipline)
Providence or Frugality
God’s Grace

18. Basic Tenets of Puritanism
Grace
The Puritans saw grace as a gift from a kind and loving God; human beings were unworthy to receive salvation because of their depraved natures.
Repentance, like personal salvation, depended on the Grace of God.
Only select individuals could experience this miracle of God’s love.

19. Am I One of the Elect?
Puritans examined themselves & their lives constantly looking for evidence of their election
Guilt & remorse were signs of God’s grace
Thrift, industry, hard work were viewed as signs of God’s grace
Business success was a sign of God’s grace

20. The Elect
Unlike Anglican and Catholic churches of the time, Puritan churches did not hold that all parish residents should be full church members.
Exclusive, not inclusive
A true church, they believed, consisted not of everyone but only of the elect

21. The Elect
Since citizenship was tied to church membership, the motivation for experiencing conversion was secular and civil as well as religious in nature.
As a test of election, many New England churches began to require applicants for church membership to testify to their personal experience of God in the form of autobiographical conversion narratives.

22. Hard Work & Self-Discipline
To the Puritans, a person by nature was wholly sinful and could achieve good only by severe and unremitting discipline.
Hard work was considered a religious duty and emphasis was laid on constant self-examination and self-discipline.

23. Hard Work & Self-Discipline
Although profanation of the Sabbath day, blasphemy, fornication, drunkenness, playing games of chance, and participation in theatrical performances were penal offenses, the severity of the code of behavior of the early Puritans is often exaggerated.

24. Puritans & Education Puritans were highly literate people
Education was highly valued as a way to fight atheism and to instill in children the value of hard work

25. Puritans & Education They held the writing of history in high regard
They wrote narratives, journals, biographies, hymns, sermons
Almost all writing was religiously based

26. 1636: The Puritans founded Harvard, the first college in America

27. Puritan Firsts

The Bay Psalm Book (1640): the first published book in the colonies

29. Puritans are People Too!
