b. listen with empathy

The key characteristic for one listening with empathy is to give the speaker your undivided attention.  Because Jeff fell asleep, he obviously had not been providing this.  Further, when one is empathetic, one is able to understand the position/place of someone else.  Obviously, if Jeff were speaking, he would want his audience to pay attention, so he should have recognized this and been conscious of that for Elizabeth.  By Jeff falling asleep, he does not understand the perspective of someone else in order to recognize how to respectfully listen (or listen with empathy).

schepotkina [342]

It has logic and emotion, but mostly logic.  His logic is very clear that if you follow the bible you shouldn't condemned slavery and killings of hundred of people. When practicing the bible and being christians one has to act like christ and follow the teachings of him and the bible.  They cannot prove Joseph's enslavement as wrong, but still enslave people who were like Joseph. In it Sewall not only condemns the practice of human trafficking, but goes on to challenge many common slave owners held  the practice of enslavement and yet still be followers of God. He uses Joseph as example to bring light to what they are doing wrong. Sewall also cites several Biblical passages which Sewall uses to make a of the practice of man stealing. Using logic is very clear in his writing about people just choosing to ignore themselves on being a hypocrite and make them question their own strong held belief.

They focus on characters, customs, and language common to a particular region.

When an author uses local color, he/she is using characters, customs, and language common to a particular region. The characters may be considered stereotypical, but they can help to create a specific image. This can help create setting and also add to the plot.
