Edwards

So this week we read a story by Edwards. It was a very different style of writing which included a lot of pathos. It got to people's emotion and scared them causing Edwards to get his point across and convince people into converting so they wouldn't be sinners since their religion saw all people as sinners. They also believed that only god could save them. This seems very weird to me since nowadays we see so many different religions and people believing in many different gods. What also seemed very interesting to me was how Edwards used such strong language and backed it up with visuals making his speech seem a lot more persuasive. He used a lot of visuals that related to hell in a horrific way so the people would get scared and want to follow him. This speech made me think of how things have changed over the years and wonder if they were right back in those days. Could all those things, or even some of the things Edwards say and believed in be somehow true.
