Your essay must be between 750 and 800 words (at least 80% original writing), follow all directions, address all aspects of the prompt, and be in MLA format. Please take the time to re-check the details in the readings to ensure your inclusions of them are accurate. Outside sources are not required; however, should you consult them, please be sure to cite in MLA format (both in-text citations and works cited).
From the following readings: Cotton Mather, background, ‘A People of God in the Devil’s Territories’ and ‘The Trial of Martha Carrier’. Jonathan Edwards, background, ‘Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God’. (Please see attachments and links below for readings.)
Compare the Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards readings. Although they occupy different points in time, there are some parallels. How are the similar? How do they differ? Think of tone, audience, message, themes, literary devices, and occasion.
