Romanticism task

Rip Van Wrinkle
Was a very descriptive person, He enjoyed letting people know that he didn't mind lending a hand to help. I like the fact that he wife would always nag and it was like he would keep blowing her off, but every time another woman or something would ask him to do something he would do it. Rip would also never take credit for what he does on his on just what people ask him to do. The reason I think that Rip Van Wrinkle story relates so much to romanticism is because his everyday life would just be so normal and he would go the extra mile and imagine it as being so amazing and beautiful. He fell asleep by drinking the Holland liquor. If you were an ractionalist and you were trying to figue out the concept of this story I do not believe they would like it very much because they are so used to figuring things out through logics that they wouldn't like the fact of figuring out through their imagination. The story is based on imagination. For example. the elf's with imaginary liquor and being asleep for 18 years and not dying.




Thanatopsis
To me the poem is talking about not being afraid of death, it was telling you some of the beautiful memories in the world when you die. It gives great details about when connecting with the readers so they can feel what mother nature is saying while she is expressing the reasons you should not be scared of death. I love the point she made when she said everybody is going to the same place including kings. The reason this poem relates so much to the romanticism is because it using death and makes it seem so beautiful and fearless.




“The Ropewalk”
I think that this poem is talking about the beauty of nature in another form of your imagination. The author is using his boring jobs and using his imagination to dream of something more interesting. For instance, Then within a prison-yard,Faces fixed, and stern, and hard, Laughter and indecent mirth;Ah! it is the gallows-tree!Breath of Christian charity, Blow, and sweep it from the earth! He was saying that all the people in the prison yard were being hung. Therefore they were referring the prisoners to the rope from the job which he is working at. It relates to the romanticism because it is using his indoor job to this outside scenery to the prisoners


The Painting
I think this picture is showing the beautiful look of nature through the eyes of the brightness. Its like they are looking through the white to see the beauty on the inside of the picture. This picture leaves room for a million imaginary scerny to be formed.

I chose this picture because it shows the nature of outdoors as the people walk the ground and work in the trees.

the puritains task 3

Total Depravity , every person is born sinful
("Let them confess before the Lord His lovingkindness." )
The Puritans believed they were all sinners not able to do anything good enough to please God. Only Gods saints were saved and able to interpret his word. Because the Puritans were convinced they were sinners, they would confess to God and praise him for his kindness.






Limited Atonement - Jesus died for the chosen only, not for everyone
(" God saves those he wishes")
The ones God chose and his chosen ones are the only ones that can interpret his word.
The saints are the only forgiven ones.

the puritains task 2

'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God'
It is self explanatory. The Puritans had alot of issues when it came to God and his man created. If I were asked to summerize this story from my point of view, I would say "What Religion" more like "Confused Religion". The saint just did whatever it is they wanted to the followers of their word. They really preached that humans should go to hell "quote" fiery pit of HELL! Even through the saints wanted the people to believe they were going to HELL they refused to believe that and ended up gaining total control over the Puritans. I think that the saints were using GOD as a crutch to overrule all of the other people in that time period. Gods grace is meant for all and what they fail to realize is that everybody was born a sinner and if God picks and chooses who goes to hell and who goes to hell them should'nt that protray God as a demon to for not given each person the benefit of the dought to be excepted into heaven, instead of being kicked out and instantly being kicked to HELL.








Of Plymouth Plantation
Jonathan Edward’s sermon did not work. All believed in God deeply. Of Plymouth Plantation explained many situations including the beliefs that people had in God. Soon as the Puritans touched ground they immediatley thanked God. They They thought that is was because they believed in God so much that he led them to the ground safely. The Purtains beliefs about God were very strong and couldn't be changed by the talk of just one man. They were honest believers of God and they live their everyday life according to God.
The way these poeple lived wasn't healthy, they couldn't concentrate because they were to worried about when they were going die and go to HELL. It was like the people were scared to speak for themselves. The repeatly thought that the only way to get in good with God was to be a saint.
