The Puritans of early America were constantly reminded of the consequences of sinning. One such dynamic pastor of the time was Jonathan Edwards whose mission was to convert and convince his congregation of sinners. He did this through his powerful sermons. In "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," Edwards uses several rhetorical devices that contribute to the effectiveness of his sermon. Edwards uses imagery to paint a horrifying picture of eternal damnation for unsaved souls.

A simplified language derived from two or more languages is called a pidgin . It is a contact language developed and used by people who do not share a common language in a given geographical area.

However, if the pidgin is used long enough, it begins to evolve into a more rich language with a more complex structure and richer vocabulary. Once the pidgin has evolved and has acquired native speakers ( the children learn the pidgin as their first language), it is then called a Creole. An example of this is the Creole from Papua New Guinea, Tok Pisin, which has become a National language.
