ELAALRL3
The student deepens understanding of literary works by relating them to their contemporary context or historical background, as well as to works from other time periods
This standard to me is focusing on American literture, from the past and the present showing in many ways that some things have not changed since the past and the things that have been left in the past are coming back to the present. In this Standard they you notice that we are reading something that is contemporary is also reflecting on the past they want you to be able to notice that, not much has changed since then.

Prayer To Pachacamac
O Pachacamac!
Thou who has existed from the beginning,Thou who shall exist until the end,powerful but merciful,
Who didst create man by saying,"Let man be
,"Who defends us from evil,
and preserves our life and our health,
art Thou in the sky or upon the earth?
In the clouds or in the deeps?
Hear the voice of him who implores
Thee,
and grant him his petitions.
Give us life everlasting,preserve us, and accept this our sacrifice

Work Period:
Purtians:
There is nothing between you and hell but air.
Didnt think god died for everyone
Believed slected few went to heaven
Native American
Very big on god
more then one god
said god could possibly be the sun and the moon
Also worshiped god by singing and dancing
The Purtians and the Native Americans see god in a very different way, the Purtains though they believed that they were chosen by god for a special purpose thought they must live every moment in a god fearing manner and from the sermon Sinners in the hand of an anrgy god they said there is nothing between you and hell but air which i think they are trying to say that no matter what you do in a manner way you will still go to hell because only slected few went to heaven. The Native Americans on the other hand were very big on but they also thought that it was more then one god s, they had a different god for every tribe. some of their gods are Pachacamcac, Viracocha, chinook and also nelived in Mountains Sprits. They also worshiped god by singing and dancing i mean it's not like the purtians didint do it but it was mention about the native americans and not the purtains. therefore puttting these two cultures together would not be a good idea because they have very different beliefs on religion and puttting them two cultures together that wold only cause conflict.
Evidence:
Native American:
The pray above was a prayer to one of the gods call Pachacamc this is one of the gods that didnt create man by saying "let man be". this god was power but merciful. one of the the examples on how the native american and the Purtians had very differrent beliefs on religion was that the navtive american belived in more then one god, and the prayer above proved that they really do belived in more then one god.
Purtians:
There is nothing between you and hell but air

The Rationalist had a very different apporach on god from the purtains, a man name Ben Franklin flew a kite in a storm to get an explanation on what was lighting, not knowing that the purtains notion that god was responsible for those type of them things and that they were not to invole themsleves in those things. The Rationalist in American wanted to to believed that anything could be understood through science while the purtains believed that god was the one with all the understanding and thought that was an insult to god because they belived humans had no buisness interfearing with god's work. While improvement was important to the purtains they ask for god for help while the Rationalist took a scientific approach to self improvement.In this society today i haven't really seen any of this then again i have, i have seen where some people have more and better things then others because of the things other people do, some people have better jobs then others and other people know how to mangage there money better then some. I see this more then i see anything today.
Bejamin Franklin:In the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin he said" I wished to live without committing any fault at any time; I would conquer all that either natural inclination, custom, or company might lead me into. As i knew, or thought i knew, what was right and wrong. I did not see why I might not always do the one and avoid the other. But i soon found i had undertaken a task of more diffculty then i imagined".In this example Ben was saying that when he flew the kite in the storm, he didnt know that he was involving hisself with the nature of god, he we was trying toget an explanation of where lighting came from. he wish to improve in this by taking a scientific apporach.
