Important Note to Students

The HAMLIT assignment page is a convenience but not something to be dependent on. When possible, homework and reading assignments will be posted here, but you are expected to complete all assignments that are announced in class on time, regardless of whether they are posted online. If you are absent, or do not remember if there is an assignment, you will need to contact another member of class to verify what the assignment is. Neither I nor the site are responsible for your failure to complete this responsibility.

Edwards Introduction and Body Paragraph


Using the format provided in Part I of your “Musings” packument, write an introduction and body paragraph on “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.” Make sure to pay careful attention to the question word guidance for the different steps of analysis.


Thesis: Edwards creates fear in the audience in order to ________________________.


POA: Edwards uses imagery, structure, and rhetoric.


Your body paragraph will focus on the discussion of his use of imagery. (Even if something is a simile, for example, we'll still discuss it under the category of imagery since it's the image that really counts here.)

Reminders:

 Limit your use of forms of “to be” especially passive and progressive.
 Maintain formal voice.
 Practice establishing context in your introduction along with relevant background information.

Be sure to provide a quotation from the text that will serve as your evidence (your "where" part of analysis.)
