Everyone knows that a spider web is fragile, easily destroyed, and, most importantly,that it doesn't stand a chance against a rock (in this case God) falling down on it.

Tone shifts from condemning to slightly more optimistic?

He defines it in a way that strictly aligns with puritan beliefs so that his audience checks themselves.

Also could be what he's going to focus on explaining for the entirety of his sermon.

It is important to be careful what sources you choose because while they may support your position, they may be irrelevant to your unifying idea(s). Mon, 30 Nov 2020 13:11:28 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238129?scroll_to=2161930 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238129?scroll_to=2161930 Through this sentence she asserts that all women should be feminists to a certain extent; even if they fit into the "bad feminist" category. Most women support feminism but aren't always actively participating in it. Mon, 26 Oct 2020 13:29:16 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238129?scroll_to=2161878 https://nowcomment.com/documents/238129?scroll_to=2161878 Her whole essay is her talking about how, and why, she considers herself a bad feminist. I think a large amount of women would be able to relate to her. Mon, 26 Oct 2020 13:26:42 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2059203 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2059203 In this paragraph, Lincoln says that he doesn't want bloodshed, but he'd rather go to war then let the nation divide. Fri, 18 Sep 2020 12:55:18 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2059180 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2059180 Lincoln makes it clear in this paragraph that the people who voted for him and support him know that it wasn't his intention to interfere with slavery but he will if it means keeping the nation together. Fri, 18 Sep 2020 12:50:58 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2054322 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2054322 I think he uses this argument because he knows how important God is and how they saw him as an authoritative figure so this appeals to how what God thinks of them matters a lot. The Confederates used to use the Bible to justify slavery. Lincoln basically says God is on the side of whoever is morally correct. If the South is losing they must not be right. Slavery must be wrong. Thu, 17 Sep 2020 13:34:32 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2054073 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2054073 Lincoln uses this paragraph to emphasize that he doesn't want war. Since most people are Catholic/Christian he uses the Bible as a way to express that he doesn't want anymore war but that the Union will not surrender because he thinks God wants the Union to free the slaves. Thu, 17 Sep 2020 13:34:32 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2043859 https://nowcomment.com/documents/225297?scroll_to=2043859 Lincoln uses a quote from one of his own past speeches to emphasize the fact that he had never intended to change slavery or condemn the states who participated in it. He says this to show he's more concerned with keeping the country together than ending slavery.

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 13:22:41 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/212291?scroll_to=1952635 https://nowcomment.com/documents/212291?scroll_to=1952635 This sentence tells us that as long as we put in the effort, our grades shouldn't suffer too badly. It's reassuring. Tue, 11 Aug 2020 13:19:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/212291?scroll_to=1952613 https://nowcomment.com/documents/212291?scroll_to=1952613 I like the example of a 1,000 word essay because it emphasizes how challenging this course could be.
