In the first paragraph winthrop lists four things to be propounded, or offered for consideration, to his audience of puritan colonists. why might he have chosen to list these four things in the order that he does?

In the first paragraph of “A Model of Christian Charity”, Winthrop lists four things for consideration: that God Almighty has created the rich, poor, powerful, and submissives to the powerful.

He may have chosen this list order for his Puritan audience to show juxtaposition between the categories of people mentioned, leading into his explanation of God’s divine wisdom of creating and giving a variety of societal roles with the purpose of creating unity.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,

all you have to do is look at the pictures to find hope this is the lesson you were also hope this .
