Rough Draft
The quote I chose shows that God is understanding and will hold back on
punishment when you realize what you did wrong and feel guilty. God is holding back from delivering his punishement. He is doing this because the person feels very guilty and God is taking pleasure in it so he decides not to deliver the punishment. To show that God has power, he uses the words flood and water. These words are taken figuratively. Also, God is controlling his power by using the words withheld and holds back. These words represent him controlling his power and deciding when to use it. The person realized what he did was wrong and felt guitly so with Gods controlling powers he decided to get rd of his punishment.

Alyssa, this paragraph shows that you have a good understanding of why Jonathan Edwards wrote "Sinners in the Hands..." However, the majority of the paragraph is summary. Spend more time discussing the figurative language - why did Edwards use figurative language? how did this help make his point? How do his words help to make connections to Puritan ideas/values?
