House of...what?

House of seven gables...interesting name. You would think that it'd be called the Pyncheon House or -something, but I guess they thought the name was sooo cursed that they named it the House of Seven Gables. Maule's nephew was brilliant. The house itself is so unique. It's like there are seven mini houses morphed into one. I guess that's how castles are. Castles have so many rooms and corridors that it's easy for someone to just keep to themselves in a castle full of people. I bet the house would be a great place to play hide-and-seek!

Ms. Hepzibah probably gets extremely lonely. I wonder how long she has lived alone. Waking up everyday to loneliness would make me depressed. She's a strong person and I guess she's become even stronger with Phoebe around. Phoebe is like an angel of love showering her love dust on everyone. She totally upgrades the name 'Pyncheon'. This house holds alot of interesting people. Where each of them have completely different personalities. Overall, I think this house is cool.

Sinners in the Hands of God

Jonathan Edwards seemed to be a very powerful speaker--so powerful that he resigned over doctrinal differences in which many people were offended by his way of preaching and its content. I think that Edwards had a very startling way of making his points across in the sermon. He must have been very brave and shameless to be out of the ordinary especially since he was accusing everyone left and right. I also found it interesting how he used so many metaphors in which were very vivid. Since he resigned over doctrinal differences, I feel like those who outrageously disagreed with his preachings were very ignorant and close-minded people. They did not accept his originality maybe because they refused to admit their own sins.
