The standard to me means that i should relate What the works of literature are. Also what they can relate to in stuff today and in the past. As well as their meanings in the past and to get a pretty good understating of this things.
2.The Hunters
There were but two beneath the sky - The thing I came to kill, and I. I, under covert, quietly Watched him sense eternity From quivering brush to pointed nose My gun to shoulder level rose. And then I felt (I could not see)Far off a hunter watching me. I slowly put me rifle by, For there were two who had to die - The thing I wished to kill, and I.
3.I like the poem because is really good. Its Good cause it gets deep into his story bout hunters and how he is being hunted also. The best part was when he realised that 2 had to die him and what he was hunting that is my favorite part. I like it best of the others i read cause of the situation the guy is in.
4: Work Period:
The puritans were more hard core as in their beliefs to God on the other hand the native Americans were different they were not as strong in their religious beliefs.The puritans said "nothing between us an hell the but thin air the only thing keeping us up is the pleasure of god."A native American said "Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours." The native Americans beliefs and practices form an integral n seamless part of their very being, while the puritans were really strong in their beliefs and if you didn't believe in god u were gonna go to the pits of hell n be punish for the rest of eternity. Their cultures may clash as a result of religious beliefs they will start arguing and end up in a fight.
5:What new vocabulary have you used in this unit already? What do these new terms mean to you?
The Rationalist: Are people that believe in god but think he made the world for them to use science to figure it out.
Deism: a religious belief that did not really take part in church or faith.
Age of reason: in the 18Th century when people id not regard them self on how things happened and that God was responsible.
Puritans: A group of people that believe God was responsible for everything and did not think otherwise.
Unconditional Election:is a believe of the puritans that God chooses who goes to heaven.
6:There is a couple differences between the Puritans and the Rationalist. The biggest one is that the rationalist believe in science and that they could use it to figure out the natural laws of the universe while the Puritans believe that God made the world and he controls everything and that God chooses only a few to save and they would not argue otherwise. mostly they would argue over those reasons because they both thought they were right. Today most of the laws we have are based on the Rationalist believes and some laws go under the puritans beliefs.
7. Read the excerpt from The Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin in the red American Literature book. Pay special attention to the efforts Franklin made to improve his life.
Give one example from The Autobiography of how Franklin is a good example of a rationalist. Make sure you explain why, and provide an example straight from the text.
Benjamin was a good example of a rationalist because he believed that God made the world so humans can use science to discover the laws of nature and use them to became more intelligent humans beings and that's What all the rationalist believed.
Ex.
1. Temperance: Eat not to dullness and drink not to elevation.

8. If you were to make a list of thirteen virtues to improve upon in your life, what would they be? List them the way Franklin did. There are a couple more good examples here. Do you think you could reach moral perfection in this way? Explain how you feel. This should be a paragraph or two.
I would reword Franklin's and put them in order as which i think would be best for my virtues.
1.Sincerity would be right for me as first because I like to be honest.
2.Order as second because I like all thing to be in order.
3.Silence would be next as he means not to be a gossiper.
4.Humility because of being humble towards other not letting nothing effect you.
5.Tranquility to me as being calm in any way.
6.Temperance so you eat was needed not too much.
7.Resolution to solve anything that needs to be done.
8.Justice so everything can be made right no wrong doings.
9.Frugality to not waste anything that is not needed to be wasted.
10.Moderation to not take anything to an extreme.
11.Cleanliness because i like everything to be clean and not have a mess.
12.Industry to me is always work and keep a job.
13.Chastity to keep what needs to be right.
those would be the virtues i would go by from Franklin's i just put them in the order i would follow them and what they mean to me in a very resourceful way.
Yes if i was to follow those virtues in every aspect i would reach perfection, but it is not possible to do everything right. No one can be perfect except God so it would always be a challenge that could never be accomplish. If i tried to accomplish those virtues and tried to reach perfection i would waste my whole life because it would be something that can never be done and that will never be done by any human being.
9.Please take a moment to specifically address how the work you did in this unit addresses these standards. You should provide evidence from your own work to illustrate what you claim.
For the first standard it says that i should demonstrate comprehension by providing evidence of my work and i did that in assignment 7 when i posted the 13 virtues of Benjamin Franklin. Also for the 3rd standard ask to compare work to its background,relate it to other works from its time period, and to today. I did that when we listen to the song that mr. siegmund play i didi everythin the standard asked.
