MS: This is my history report on George Whitefield. It also contains a bit of information about The First Great Awakening. Hope you like it! :-)
George Whitefield was a famous preacher who was born at the Bell Inn, in Gloucester, England. He was one of three men who started the First Great Awakening, also known as the Great Awakening, which was a series of religious events like people starting to read their Bible at home and becoming passionately and emotionally involved in their religion.
His stories were so realistic that people could literally see them before their eyes. Sailors felt as if they were on a ship, and real cries of ‘To the lifeboats, to the lifeboats!’ rang out from the crowd.
Not all people liked what he said though. Many churches were closed off to him.
But the few churches that were open to him became too full of people, so he began “field preaching,” preaching outside. Even though he preached many sermons, very few remain.
George Whitefield was a great religious man and strong in his spiritual beliefs. George Whitefield was also a good and faithful friend and will always be remembered, even by people who disagree with him.

JW's Alliterations
JW likes all things rhyming and has recently added alliteration to that. Here are a couple he came up with today:
Brown bears battle black beans with the help of brown badgers in a building.
Superstar senses Skittles.
