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.

Mather Reading and Edwards Paper


Reading due Monday: Mather's "Wonders of the Invisible World" (74-78)


Edwards Introduction and Body Paragraph (Due Wednesday or Thursday of next week)


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


POA: Edwards uses figurative devices, structure, and rhetoric.


Your body paragraph will focus on the discussion of his use of figurative devices, but we still want to provide a full POA in our thesis so we can get used to that concept.

Reminders:

* Maintain formal voice.
* Practice establishing context in your introduction along with relevant background information.
*Provide a quotation from the text that will serve as your evidence (your "where" part of analysis.)
