Additionally Edwards builds on one of his similes to create an extended analogy first find the paragraph that serves as one long
brilliants [131]

In the following excerpt of "Sinners in the hands of an angry God", Edwards extensively compares God's wrath with great Warters:

"The Wrath of God is like great Waters that are  dammed for the present; they increase more and  more, & rise higher and higher, till an Outlet is  given, and the longer the Stream is stop’d, the more  rapid and mighty is it’s Course, when once it is let  loose. 'Tis true, that Judgment against your evil  Works has not been executed hitherto; the Floods  of God’s Vengeance have been with-held; but your  Guilt in the mean Time is constantly increasing,  and you are every Day treasuring up more Wrath;  the Waters are continually rising an waxing more  and more mighty; and there is nothing but the meer  Pleasure of God that holds the Waters back that are  unwilling to be stopped, and press hard to go forward;  if God should only withdraw his Hand from  the Flood-Gate, it would immediately fly open,  and the fiery Floods of the Fierceness and Wrath of  God would rush forth with inconceivable Fury, and  would come upon you with omnipotent Power; and  if your Strength were ten thousand Times greater  than it is, yea ten thousand Times greater than the  Strength of the stoutest, sturdiest, Devil in Hell, it  would be nothing to withstand or endure it."

What is Saki’s message about teaching morality to children? Consider the moral of the bachelor's story--is it the same as Saki's
Oliga [24]

The Storyteller, a classic work of H.H.Munro - known as Saki, talks about a bachelor who tells a story to two young girls who are his travel companions on a train.

Explanation:

This is a story that is straight-forward and direct. It starts to the point where the two young girls are listening to the story being narrated by their aunt. At the end of the story they both express that they have not liked it at all and that it is unreal because of its extreme morale.

The bachelor keeps observing the entire scene and listens to the story. He understands that the young girls want to listen to something realistic, practical and believable. He tells them a story titled as 'horribly good' about a girl who dies because of her goodwill/good deed medals making a noise while she tries to hide from view of a wild animal.

The girls absolutely love the story and exclaim how relating and realistic it is.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY and THE MESSAGE SAKI WANTS TO GIVE to his readers is exactly the same. He wants to tell his readers that righteousness is a trait that all of us must practice but it does not lead us to good ends. It can lead us to bad too. It is not true that good people will end up only in the good experiences. They suffer equally.

This is central message of the story.
