father Barry plays an important role in changing Terry's outlook soon after he makes his own mind up he feels compelled to bring justice to the waterfront. Father Barry is often shot from bellows and seems to have moral authority rises into the hold as if her were Jesus Christ rising from the dead. "what's ratting to them is telling the truth for you. Can't you see that? You stand up and I'll stand up with you."
Megan’s Talk 7-13 Obedience I am going to start out with a scripture from D&C 93:24, 26-28. It says, “The spirit of truth is of God, and no man can receiveth the fullness unless he keepeth his commandments. He that keepeth God’s commandments recieveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things.” Our Heavenly father has given us the commandments to guide us and to protect us. Being obedient is doing God’s will. He knows what is best for us and he doesn’t want us to get hurt, so obeying His commandments will save us a lot of grief in the long run.
Reviewing Peter’s account of Jesus or that of the Rich Young Ruler, a person is able to see that this was far from the truth. Bill Hybels, the Senior Pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, preached about the Peter making one of the most important statements of his life. In Luke 5:5 Peter decision to say “yes” to Jesus with this statement opened the door for endless opportunity, fame, inspiration, hardships, and salvation of his own life and the salvation of others. Peter has been fishing all night and then Jesus comes into the scene. Jesus borrows Peter’s boat so that he can teach from the lake then he asks him to get his nets after a long unsuccessful fishing day, to throw his nets out to the water and try to catch some fish again.
Kesey uses many symbolic references for the main character, McMurphy who is portrayed as Jesus Christ and to the other men on the ward who are shown as Christ's disciples. Kesey uses many symbolic references that lead the readers to believe that McMurphy symbolized Christ to the men in the hospital. Events from the fishing trip and the twelve disciples to the cross and the crown of thorns, then finally McMurphy's sacrifice of his own life to save the lives of the other men on the ward. Kesey shows McMurphy as a Christ-like person to give the readers a more sympathetic character and create a more developed and enjoyable read. If more novelists were to use this kind of portrayal of their characters and make their stories more enjoyable, then perhaps more people around the world would want to take the time to sit down and read a
John Proctor fights to keep his good name in the community, Reverend Parris strives to keep his good reputation in Salem, and Reverend Hale regrets his actions and works to correct them.

Final Draft 9 December 2013 A Truth Behind the Story In the novel Life of Pi by Yann Martel, Pi tells two stories, which depicts his real experiences versus a fictitious story that he thinks people might believe. Pi is placed in a life or death situation, which tests his faith and morality. Pi, who believes in three religions, develops a sense of morality and kindness towards all living things. However when he is faced with death, he abandons his morality in order to survive. When asked by insurance investigators what events happened while he was on his journey, Pi describes an awe inspiring, extraordinary story in which he finds himself stranded on a lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and a tiger named Richard Parker.
5. Persistence When somebody is predestinated for salvation, nothing he does can change that actuality. The Puritans emphatically trusted, that God intervens effectively in their lifes. They trusted that God is available in each human activity and regular marvel. Henceforth, nothing happens by chance except for everthing happens intentionally.
Encouragement is also a very important factor in this process. In 2 Thessalonians 2: 16-17 it states, “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave his eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” Overcoming Rebellion Rebellion is defined as a refusal of obedience or order. Many people don’t like the idea of giving control to anyone but themselves. This can hindered a person greatly because God is in control of our lives and knows what our plan is. If a person continues to deny what God has for them, then their lives will not be happy.
What Marx means by religion being the optimum of the masses is that people tend to turn to religion for support. In the story while Pi drifts at sea, and is exposed to a ‘soulless condition, ‘he prays to an undefined god and pleads for salvation and protection. So the prayer gives him comfort and a feeling of relief. In addition to Pi being heavily involved in religious beliefs, he demonstrates irrational behavior as he becomes cannibalism while he was on the raft. Although irrational, it was necessary for him to become cannibalism for his survival.
