Modernists vs. Traditionalists: Sunday's Background
Modernists vs. Traditionalists
Part A
1. Sunday’s background seems to reveal that he was raised in a family that is very religious and from a place that is not near to the cities as he doesn’t seem to understand why the things that are happening in the cities are happening. His outlook on life and the way he believes that people should work to be better people and work for God reveals his small-town religious types of beliefs.
2. With these three different outlooks on life, Sunday is able to describe probably the three most prominent ways that every single person lives their lives. With introspective, it is someone who looks inside themselves for much of their motivation in what they do. With retrospective, it is one who looks into the past and looks back to see how they should do certain things, and then with prospective it is someone who looks more ahead and sees how what they do can affect their lives and what they do.
3. The quote “we must live better than the people,” means that in everything that one does, they must strive to be better than just the people who go out and do whatever they want, and don’t think about their actions. They must live their lives the way that God would want them to.
4. Sunday’s language show that he is quite finished with the way that people are acting within the U.S. and that the tensions between the more rural and the city regions seem to be growing because of all of the differing beliefs.
5. Sunday says that the citizens of the city are being thrown off course by the varying “isms, schisms and ologies, fol-da-rots, tommyrot and heresies,” and that the only way to get better is to pray daily, and to become closer to God everyday.
Part B
1. It seems as though Mencken grew up in a more lavish, and educational setting, as he no believes that all of things that are going on in the country, and the things that are making the news with their drama and such are all happening because people are uneducated and they know
