Select the correct answer. Upon what source did John Bunyan model his writing style in The Pilgrim's Progress?

Licemer1 [7]

The source that modeled John Bunyan's writing style in The Pilgrim's Progress was a. the English Bible.

The Pilgrim's Progress (1678) is considered to be a Christian allegory. Besides being a writer, John Bunyan was also a Puritan preacher and that is why his works were all highly influenced by religion. In The Pilgrim's Progress all the characters of the story have names that are considerably significant, such as Christian, Evangelist and Goodwill. The Pilgrim's Progress, narrated by an omniscient narrator, tells the story of Christian's journey from his hometown, the "City of Destruction," to the "Celestial City", which represents Heaven. Furthermore, during his journey, Christian carries a book that is thought to be the Bible. Bunyan’s selection of words, the use of direct and indirect quotations from The Bible and the name of places such as the Palace Beautiful and the wall called Salvation also show the influence of the sacred text in the book. In addition, Bunyan resorts to a simple and colloquial but energetic language that has also been taken from the Bible.

A code of Ethics is the framework of rules and regulations, almost the guideline, that an institution, or organization, may have, to help its members or workers choose the correct actions to take when facing a dilemma or a problem, in accordance with the principles and the mission and vision of the institution or organization. Although mostly seen in organization, there are also codes of ethics that are personal and these help an individual decide the right way to act in difficult situations. In the case of this scenario, there is a huge problem; the reporter is faced with her relationship to the person being investigated and about who she must report. Because of this familial relationship between reporter and investigated, the reporter should, C, tell the editor-in-chief about her relationship to the pilot, and ask that the story be assigned to another. This is the ethical thing to do because it allows the superior to know that there will be a conflict of interests and a possible bias, whether the reporter wants to or not. It also allows the chief to decide whether the connection between the two will affect the reporter´s abilities or not.
