Assignment #3- Book II and Embracing the Exile

When reading these two pieces of work, I felt as though I was able to understand each more easily than the previous pieces. Book II and Embracing the Exile each had a message to deliver because I believed to find them both as debatable topics. Additionally, I saw that in both works, those involved were trying to turn the curse of being in exile to their own personal benfit. Although I noticed in both pieces the character involved were trying to gain a trust in themselves, in Embracing the Exile they also were trying to achieve a trust in God and his creation. However, in Book II of Paradise lost the devils are trying to find a trust in each other to wage another war on God and do not wish to try and connect with God like those in Embracing the Exile. I hope in then future I can read more pieces like these where I am more capable of understanding the message each piece was trying to present.
