Answer 1

Answer:

The winter nights are growing colder as the days pass, the wolves seem to be following our trail. I have heard rumors about this thing called the "Great Awakening". I have left the safety of my home to see such a thing and the past days were long as I traveled the wintry plains. I had only arrived just yesterday, now today I see what I came to see. I find this religion to be more like a cult. Rationalism is ever so common here and these people are doing wrong but believing it is right. I don't like it one bit and I plan on leaving first thing tomorrow, I already packed my hoarse. "The Great Awakening" is not what I thought.

Explanation:

This is an entry of a diary, a true one. I had a however many greats grandfather who wrote this, it was a little different but I translated it to modern day English. I hope this helps.
