1. Bell Ringer: September 28th
Put your HOMEWORK on your desk, please! You don’t have to write anything yet, but be ready to watch a video when the bell rings.
The video…
Write about your thoughts. The Wells Preacher’s techniques are similar to Edwards’. How is his reception different than Edwards’ reception in the 1740s? Is it in any way similar? Why?
Note: Whatever your beliefs, I am asking you to look
at this objectively. Think about how the Preacher’s DELIVERY, the message’s RECEPTION, and how, IN OUR SOCIETY, they compare.
Lastly…even though our society is different today, what are the general LITERARY techniques Edwards uses that still work?
