a. I like the story alot a better then the rest. Just the opening its self " So that, thus it is. that natural men are held in the hand of god over the pit of hell: they have deserved the fiery pit." Its a very positive way of opening up any passage. But over all alot more interesting then the rest because it gives you a really different out look on life. Through the puritan eyes if you may. also it really wasnt sugar coated like it wasn't to deep and it didnt feel like i was decoding this reading.
d. "The use of this awful subject may be for awakening unconverted persons in the congregation. this that you have heard is the case of everyone of you that are out of christ. That world of misery, that lake of burning brimstone, is extended abroad under you. there is the dreadful pit of the glowing flames of the wrath of god;" Hands down favorite line in everything ive read soo far for this class. Very vivid and makes the most sense out of everything. It makes alot of sense and i totally support it.
E. The narrator is kind of looking at a very negative side of life. I really wish he would improve his outlook on life. He should go to one of those masses where they sing and feel the power of god in there body. I feel like it could cheer him up a bit because honestly he just needs to see some people fully devoted to god and i think there he may find some.
