Daniel S. Avis

Greyson Frye

1. Edwards believes that his congregation has lots of sinners. He gives theirs speech to scare them into changing their ways. 
2. He is talking about the common man. The common man is not rich or poor, but in between.
3. Abate in this example means to convince or please
4. Show what there is to come
5. he uses the clause to elaborate on the misery in the world
6. when the God lets you drop to your doom there is nothing left for you, there is no hope or anything left. The repetition elaborates and emphasize on it.
7. He is repeating "not willingly" because God does it all. God makes the sun shine, and the earth yield. Without God nothing would get done, and we should be fearful and willing to do anything without sinning.
8. He says the simile and compares Gods wrath to it and talks about it. The imagery he uses is to put the Fear of God into the people that are listening. The fear that god will bring death to them.
9. The things he is talking about and describing is towards the people who are continuing to sin,  And will show the outcome of whether they drop or they hang.
10. Edward is the ethos, he is very religious and strict.  He is preaching the logos and trying to scare them into doing the right thing.  The fear of the audience is pathos.  
11. His tone is steady, calm, and strict.  It does not change through the speech according to the information giving before the story.

14. While Edward gave the speech, his audience started feared God causing them to faint and cry.
15. God is in control of everything and its up to you if your going to hell or not
16.
