I’m working on a english multi-part question and need an explanation to help me understand better.

1. Follow all directions and answer all questions, including submitting your response to safe assign and posting your text on our Facebook group page by the due date. You must check the box on this safe assign link that allows your document to be evaluated for the use of secondary sources and/or plagiarism. If you will not allow your document to be checked for the use of secondary sources and/or plagiarism, you will not receive credit for this assignment.

2. When asked to cite quotations from a work, you must use quotation marks, exact wording and include page and paragraph numbers from The Norton Anthology of American Literature, 8th or 9th ed.

3. You must write at least 300 ORIGINAL words of your own (This DOES NOT include quotations from the text!) You must follow the organizational, punctuation and grammar rules of standard American English that you should have learned in EH101 and EH102.

4. Your responses must be completely original. You may not use any secondary sources (books, web sites, other people’s ideas) and you may not use ideas presented by your classmates in this forum. If you do this, you will be in violation of the plagiarism policy as explained in the syllabus; also, you will fail the course and risk expulsion from JSU.

5. At my discretion, I will assign up to five extra points per blog entry for those posts that exhibit depth of thought, originality and adhesion to the directions. Additionally, those students who interact with other classmates by purposefully and thoughtfully replying to their posts may also receive extra points on some assignments.

ASSIGNMENT

Blog Topic Option One: Based on what you have learned about the Puritan and Quaker cultures from your readings and the Utopian Promises video, how does the leadership style, the spirituality and the morality of John Smith mesh with these religious groups. Is he completely different than they are, or does he have some commonalities with these spiritual groups? Cite at least one specific quotation in the works of John Smith (use quotation marks, exact wording and page and paragraph numbers) where he appears to be very different than the religious groups of the new world, and then cite at least one specific quotation from Smith where he appears to have commonalities with them. (DO NOT USE a quote that has been referenced in my notes or in another student’s post.) Finally, using a third quote, fullly explain why you believe Smith is either very much like his religious counterparts or the complete opposite of the more spiritual colonists. Explain your position completely.
