Gregory had a personal interview with Matthew’s father, Arthur Snyder, about the how trying the ordeal was on him and how it’s hurt his mental wellness. Gregory describes in heavy detail the way the Westboro Baptist Church “hoisted revolting signs” at the funeral. He begins and ends his work with undisguised reproach for all that the Westboro Baptist Church stands for, and stops only occasionally to bring in an ethical appeal. Adam Cohen, who penned Why Spewing Hate at Funerals Is Still Free Speech, takes a different approach. He, too, looks upon the Westboro Baptist Church with disdain, but he doesn’t let that cloud what he feels to be the real problem: the beginning of taking away power from the first amendment.
This tone becomes visible through the confession with the priest and Sister James. It’s ironic because Sister James tells Toby her sins and when he goes back to confess again, he tells the priest her sins instead of his own. The negative tone towards Toby’s Catholic faith becomes apparent due to his untruthfulness and lack of concern during confession. Father Karl even goes onto state that “he believes in the world,” (249) and desires materialistic possessions including “the world’s esteem.” (249) It is ironic because Father Karl attempts to guilt Toby into repentance, however Toby knows that Father Karl understands that he has not reached him because “Toby is in hiding.” (250) Irony develops round characters such as Dwight and Toby. It portrays Dwight as an antagonistic
While I do not completely agree with his whole book, Shane Claiborne speaks some truths on many ugly topics of our society. I agree with him that there needs to be a higher concern in our society for the less fortunate, poor, and those who do not have a voice in local government. He speaks for an alternative thinking, conveying an idea that the traditional church isolates itself from the poor and disenfranchises many LGBT people. He communicates to his audience; it is okay to question a church that may be wrong in their views or traditions. I believe our generation subjects themselves to staying neutral on controversial topics.

Question 1: Anne Hutchinson was a threat to Puritan society in a combination of ways that other dissenters were not, which is the reason she was banished. The Puritan society in Massachusetts was established not so that people can exercise freedom of religion, but only so the Puritans can freely exercise their religion. These were a very intolerant people of any one else’s religious belief; and, their leaders did everything possible to keep other religions from prospering. Their main belief was that the entire community had to follow God’s laws as interpreted by their leaders and if they did then God would reward them. However, if the entire community did not follow God’s laws then the entire community would be punished.
The reader is plunged into a dim and melancholic atmosphere. Starting in the midst of things promotes a curiosity within the reader and seeks to contrast mood. The novel soon returns to the start of its chronological order and there reader is left to ponder how a character such as Michael Mompellion, who is seemingly likeable, can display such bitterness and contempt towards God despite his glorious reputation towards religion. It can be seen how the catastrophic nature of the quarantine that Eyam is placed in is testing of the community. We see a variety of responses but it is the inability of the majority to understand the roots of the plague that prevents them from undergoing personal transformation.
The Puritans wanted to remove all practice and rituals of Catholicism from Europe. John Winthrop and fellow Puritans were frustrated with religious activities in England, “All other Churches of Europe are brought to desolation and or sinnes”. He believed that the Church was corrupted and that the lord “Frowned upon us, doe threatens us fearfully”. Winthrop believed that England was invaded by evil and ran by a corrupted Government, and that the roots for religious learning were being disturbed. They feared to live in such sinful society, because they believed that God predestined people to salvation and others were damned for the rest of time.
