UNIT 1 #6

6.) Rationalist have thought to believe all humans can improve their lives by doing it theirselves. Puritans belived in order to improve anything they would have to ask god for the improvement. To the Puritans using science to do this is disobeying god, while Rationalist found it to be the best way of doing things. Rationalist use real things in reality to be able to live better and Puritains thought of it as a bad thing to god. The Rationalist also believed that the whole universe could be explained by logic, but Puritains did not believe it was appropriate.

UNIT 1 #4

4.) The video shows us that the Puritans have a way of life where the whole time they are living they are scared of god. They think that they are going to hell no matter what they may do in life. While the Native Americans live life to the fullest, and enjoy everything they have. They are also very thankful for everything that comes in life. "Give thanks for your food and the joy of living" which the Native Americans use to say in their prayers. They unlike the Puritans say, its okay to have fun and not be afraid that god will be mad. The Puritans on the other hand believe you have a one way ticket to hell, the proof this by quoting "There is nothing between you and hell but air". If the Puritans and Native Americans ever came together they would not agree on anything. They would believe one another was stupid and had retarded beliefs. There is no possible way they would ever be able to get along.

UNIT 1 #3

3.) My example to me is something everyone should reflect on. It tells you to be thankful for life and all the things that come in it. It also tells you that if your not thankful it is something that you choose and you wont be judged for. It shows us how god gave us life for a reason, and we should be thankful that we had a chance to live it.

UNIT 1 #2

2.)
Give Thanks

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength.

Give thanks for your food and the joy of living.

If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

-Tecumseh

UNIT 1 #1

1.) To me the standard is telling us that all students who are in the process of learning literature learns it by comparing it to things that they already know. They take the information givin to them and base it on an experience they have had or what they have learned in the past. This is important for me to master, because it will give me away to be able to remember all the materials i need to know. It also lets me learn things i already know all over again.
