Pilgrims Progress

One Reason why the book is called Pilgrim’s Progress is because the main character, who is Christian, is going on pilgrimage. Another reason it is called Pilgrim’s Progress is because of the author’s background. The last reason is because He is blocked by people who are trying to stop him. Pilgrims were stopped by the king.

Christian is a sinner who is on a journey to get rid of his sins. He wants to go to Heaven. John Bunyan was imprisoned when he wrote this book. He was imprisoned for doing religious sermons without the king’s permission. He is like a pilgrim. Christian was blocked by Apollyon who represents the devil and who is also like the king who stopped the pilgrims from worshiping God.

I can relate to Christian because I also want to get rid of my sins. Like Christian, I am a human being who can be persuaded and tempted. There will always be someone or something that can be an obstacle in my life, just like Christian. Most importantly, Christian and I are alike because we both want to go to Heaven, or in Christian's case, Wicket Gate.

The book is called Pilgrim’s Progress because it talks about a man whose story is like a pilgrim’s life. It is also written by an author who just wants to worship God. Christian, John Bunyan, and a pilgrim are all alike because they are all people who believe in God and wants to be saved.
