Cruible
Power is very important in this town. Who has the power is mainly determined by classes. Parris starts off with the power in the story because he is the head of the church. He's power hungry yet weak. He cares more about his image in the town then his own daughter. Who is ill. He refuses to believe that it was witchcraft or the Devil who has caused her to become so ill. He finds it embarrassing that he of all people has to deal with is daughter becoming ill of such things. Then the power seems to rest in the hands of Abigail and her followers. Once the girls come into power they start naming women in the town that they don't like as witches .

"Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" follow up post
I believe that the sermon "Sinners in the hands of an Angry God" would frighten people today as it did in the 1700's. Ever since I've grown up people have been telling me that God is a loving God and a forgiving God. The way that Edward portrays him is non forgiving and non loving. I was honestly scared when I had read this and automatically thought that I was going to Hell. I mean seriously, "The bow of God's wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready on the string" (p.98). That scared the living crap out of me. I literally stopped reading and turned around to see if an arrow was really there, that's how believable it was. I'm just saying that I'm a pretty hard persson to scare but this sermon did scare me.

"Siners in the Hands of an Angry God" Post
2 paragraphs the first paragrah is a summary 6 sentences the second parahraph is what you expect to hear that scared so many people at the time
The sermon“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”by Edwards was given on July 8,1741.The video states that the sermon was detailed, graphing and brutal. Even people today who are use to reading such violence are terrified by what Edwards wrote. He wanted people to not take for granted the sweetness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Edward pulled the colonies away for the ceremonial detached rituals and discourse that marked European Christianity. People that didn't really know him said that he was a stern loveless man but the people who where close to him said that he was "thoughtful, warm,sensitive, loving father,faithful husband, generous friend to the poor and distressed."
Edwards is trying to preach to the people how to reach salvation. The sermon must of been very vibe. It had such an impact in so many people. The sermon left a permanent on American life. Also his sermon was know because New England never forgave him for.It made people start thinking about their actions and what consequences might lie ahead. He prayed for his peoples salvation. He hoped that they would start to awaken in the reality of sin.

Descriptive Piece
Imagine two small golden retrievers. Looking as is they just woke up from a nap. Each has big brown puppy eyes asking to be played with. Both of the puppies have little black wet noses. The one to the left looks like he's ready to get up and walk around meanwhile the one to the right is lying there like just give me a few more minutes.The one to the left has a reddish brown fur color but a little brighter fur along the cheeks. The one to the right has a sandy white color fur with reddish brown ears and along the top of his eyes. They are both laying on a furry blanket that makes them look all the more cuter.
Expectations
The are many expectations in an honors American Lit class some of which people know or that people are new to hearing.
Be on time everyday. Running into class as the bell rings is not on time. When a person is late it's distracting to the other students. The person who was late might have missed something important for a feature assignment or project. That then could cause them to fail the next assignment or project. When coming in late be per-paired at least. Don't cause even more distractions. Coming to class is on thing but being respectful is another thing.
When a person is asking a question don't be rude by saying oh that's a stupid question. Someone else might of not known the answer that wanted to know the answer as well. While the teacher is talking don't be obnoxious and start talking and making jokes. Respect not only the people respect the class room. Trash doesn't belong on the floor so don't leave it there. Gum doesn't belong on the bottom of chairs and desks. Get up and spit it out in the trash. It doesn't take all that much to get up and toss it in the trash. Respect is straight forward and so is hard work.
The work and effort that is put in the class says a lot about a person. A hard worker will work their butts off. When a person is determined to get an A. A Person will work on something over and over again until they think it's right. A non hard worker will just slop somethimg together to make it look like something knowing it's not. That person will settle for a C because it's passing. A person should try to do there best because lazy people will get nowhere. Don't turn in a assignment that was just thrown together 15 minutes ago.

About Me
Hey. For all of those who don't know me my name is Autumnbre Moore. I just turned 15 years old this July. I'm currently in 10th grade taking honors American lit with my friends. This is my second year having Mr.Provenzano as my 1st hour English teacher. I move up to honors American Lit for a bigger challange. English is my favorite subject out of everything else. It's easy to understant and it's bassically reading and writing. Two things that I like to do.
I'm very close to family. I have two brothes one older and one is younger. Charles aka (Chuck) is 27years old and Jeremiah aka (Jerry) is 14. Now goes to South as a Freshman. My mom's in her forties I can't tell anyone or she'll kill me. My dad Charles is in his fifthies. He's ten years older then my mom. Creepy right well at least I thing so. He works downtown at the GM cusino.
My favorite type of music is hip hop and R&B. My top two favorite femal artist are Nicki Manja and Beyonce. Top two male atrist are Christ Brown and Eminem. Favorite song for now is Lighters by Eminem ft Bruno Mars. I hate the song Friday by Rebecca Black. Everytime I hear that some it makes me want to pull my ears off. That's harsh I know but it's so stupid. All she does is name the days of the week repeatedly.
I play different sports in and out of school. Out of school I play a little bit of basketball, tennis and swimming. In school I play softball and I was a cheerleader but I just wasn't able to partisipate this year. Hopefully I'll be able to join the team for basketball season also competative cheer season. I loved all of my coaches that I've encountered at South except for Brytni. My old cheerleading coach for j.v . Thank God she quit or was fired eighter way I don't care she was evil. I hated her and she hated me too so we're even.
