The quotation is true because when someone does wrong thing it comes back to them. It can stay in their minds and eventually affect them and their actions. It can completely change the person and his point of view. One literary technique is characterization. Characterization describes a person physically, emotionally, behaviorally, and personally.
Many examples in the book made me consider perspectives that I had never thought of before. In my opinion, this book definitely stirred up a reassurance of my place in society and what can be done to liberate the oppressed. I believe the voices represented in this book can cause negative reactions from some churches because it goes against what is and has been normal. Churches would not really like to change the view of “white” Christ to be a diverse Christ of another race because it would change certain aspects and power. The church is called to be one diverse body of God, but as churches can remain dominant to one race, it becomes difficult to incorporate diversity into what already is established.
The Obsessions of Love, Hatred and Fame Obsession comes in many forms, but it’s the obsessions with love, hatred, and fame that can make or destroy a person. Obsessions can be put to good use when used as a tool to drive a person forward to obtain a goal. But more often they become a consuming force that blinds and stifles a person’s view purpose. In Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, obsession is clearly evident throughout the story with the characters Victor Frankenstein and Robert Walton. It is these obsessions of love, hate and fame that eventually destroy Frankenstein and defeats Walton.
A person may perceive a certain image of what God is, like a trinket or something they have seen that reminds them of God. Then they start to pray to that every time instead of praying to God. This is a point he is trying to make by saying that it is still a major sin but that sometimes we don’t notice the smaller things as being bad. This book teaches a lot about the nature of God. Screwtape has a hard time believing that God actually cares for His people, unlike, “Their Father Below”.
I used the bible passage from the bible (Job 17:9) to relate to Winton’s occasional references to religion. In the short story ‘Holding’, the protagonist is sceptical of religion but understands that it helps other people in their lives, and in ‘More’, Jerra discovers that his dad became religious to help himself through any tough times. My character is quite annoyed by religion but he still draws strength from the passage I stated earlier despite his scepticism. Will experiences difficulties similar to that of Winton’s characters. His life is controlled by traumatic events from his past.
Some of his executions have a good side to them, like with Thomas Moore; Henry did it to keep his ruthless and powerful reputation. If this was ruined then he wouldn’t be anything, it wasn’t like it was an easy decision either, it did take Henry a while and it was a hard choice to make. Considering people had been going to Church just to be on the safe side, but not knowing a thing that was being said as it was in Latin, though Henry created the Protestant church and ways for personal reasons it had good points like people could actually understand what was being said in Church as the Bible was translated into English. Overall I think that Henry was a bad King, and does deserve to be remembered as ‘Horrible Henry’, he made a lot of wrong choices. The bit of evidence that proves this is when he lead the disastrous war with France and wasted a lot of money and his countries
This story reminds me of other literatures throughout history, but particularly the bible. There is a story in the bible where the message is to “love thy neighbour as thy self.” This story has a message that is very relevant in today’s society, not only in bigger cities but also smaller towns. People are often caught up in their own struggles that they don’t think to help another out when they just need someone to be there for them. We need to remember to treat one another as we would like to be
Plus there were all the different interpretations that were going around and being taught by groups such as the Christians or the anthropologists, which lead to the Lakota’s meanings being corrupted. All these things felt to me as though it was an invasion on their language, but just like their land, they have not lost it all yet. They still have hope of teaching the right philosophy to their future
Christians across the world battle on the issue that memes does or doesn’t exists. Religious memes and me metric may not be inherently good or bad superior or inferior but they do exist. That no matter what are cultures are we can evolve while staying true to ourselves and are roots. So whatever category one’s culture labels it’s all a meme of a belief in someone or something being the teacher, philosopher that we should follow his word and know that other cultures beliefs may seem to imitate each other. That some disagree that they believe in what another culture or religion believes to be what they believe to be Jesus and what he stands for also.
Being brought up in a Christian home has instilled a great sense of morality and discernment but has hindered me from broadening my intellect concerning a variety of matters and touchy issues. My upbringing has made me tough and not easily manipulated by the pressures of the community and media. However, it has given me a thirst and hunger to seek what I want for myself, not anyone else. I yearn to consistently engage in activities I’m interested in. I want to dictate what I want my future to look like and want I want to experience through that journey.
