Purpose behind the writing

From the things we read and write,I think there are something common in them.In my opinion,they all state what's our responsibilities to our community.In creation story and environmental literature,they write about how our human beings have destroyed the environment as well as have hurt ourselves.Moreover,Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards shows how our mankind use religious power to hurt ourselves although these two articles seem crazy.We mainly talked about community and religious problem these days.These two types of questions are related to our daily life.Culture difference sometimes make something unpleasant happen,especially the society around us is consist of different cultures,if we don't deal with these two problems well,it will be bad for us.

However,although there are something common in this writting,they don't mean to tell everything the same and use the same ways to tell us the authors opinions.In these texts,they basically tells something bad with lots of stories or details such as data,appearance and emotion.I don't think they really mean to answer their own questions;instead,they have already formed their own opinions and trying to tell us,that 's why they created this kind of writing.Yet they are almost descriptive articles,they are different in some ways.For example,the Native Americans creation stories,animal stories uses the relationship between human beings and myths to show the consequence for what we have done and to warn us.In these stories,although we are not the leading actors,the animal represent us.So,it is a indirect way to show their purpose.Cotton Mather and Jonathan Edwards,it states the foolish events with specific person's career so that we can see what happen through this person's life.At last,environmental literature, shows the author's opinion directly with data and dialogs.It is more easy for us to understand .

In short,although they shows things in different ways,they all tells us what we should do and what we have done.
