While Dimmsdale had his congregation and duty to God to follow His word. Both sides of the relationship are shown through Pearl. She has an extreme habit of being disobedient to her father and her mother, something that both Hester and Dimmsdale composed when they were disobedient to God, but she is also beautiful and loving just like the passion that her mother and father felt for each other. Pearl, is a highly ambiguous character in The Scarlet Letter. She is not only a disobedient and untamed elf, but also a beautiful, flower like child.
He was constantly trying to prove to himself, God, and the rest of the world that he was not a coward. He did this by not leaving dangerous situations. He feels that trying to prove himself to not be a coward made him become such an overbearing and abusive father, husband, and pastor. In return the children and mother felt embarrassment for having to listen to his jacked up sermons knowing that Congolese people don’t know right from wrong. The mother understood that the Congolese people did have spirituality and they did have a God.
The words of her father while on his deathbed seems to be what I felt Barton lived by in her life; “As a Patriot he bade serve my country with all I had, even my life if need be; as the daughter of an accepted Mason, he bad me seek and comfort the afflicted everywhere, and as a Christian he charged me to honor God and love mankind”. She of course had her faults as everyone does, but they did not always have bad effects. While she was not keen with others surpassing her, it helped her to also go farther than she would have most likely imagined. By standards of today’s idea of Christianity, it would depend on how you look at it. She accomplished a great deal of good in the United States, and in the world itself, but is the question would be if what she did was good enough to
Also, Grant used to be a very hostile man and he didn't care for anything but from visiting Jefferson he started to care about his life and the things in it, he dedicated his whole self to helping Jefferson become a man and he would get into arguments defending his choices with his aunt even if she was very important to him and they never fought. This is greatly shown when Grant is on a visit with Jefferson along with his aunt, Emma and the reverend Grant talks to Jefferson and tells him how he needs him and how he is someone who can do so much while he cant, then he began to cry. This shows how Grant wants to make a change in his life. Grant is a person who goes from being miserable and only cares for himself into someone who can love other things in life and fights for
Thinking this would stop her from her mission was a sorrowful mistake. Saint Cecilia preached the laws of God even more with a new fire knowing that her husband and brother in law were with the Father Almighty. Even after the beheading of herself, she hung on by just a strip a skin her heat still beating while her family and friend came to say good-bye and wish her a safe journey. Sentenced to death she was not worried or scared, because she knew she would be joining her father. Saint Cecilia’s childhood was unique for most saints.
Andrew Hall Mrs. Krause English 11 Honors August 28, 2014 Abigail Adams Rhetorical Strategies Abigail Adams writes to her son, John Adams, in order to guide him and offer advice as he enters an important part of his life, of which she feels obliged to be a part of. In her letter she provides many instances of sincere and helpful advice, yet does not do so without the use of rhetorical strategies to emphasize her point and persuade her boy to adhere to her strict plan for him. Her acts of persuasion are in no way malicious or ill-fated, as they simply exhibit a classic “mother knows best” attitude in spirit of love and care for her child. In her letter to her son, Abigail Adams uses parental glorification, an appeal to the importance of knowledge, and an appeal to pride in one’s country in order to advise her son toward acts of her will. Abigail is well aware of the heavy regard for herself that she has bred into John, and thus uses this pre-established respect to heighten her own position to inform him.
Her mother tried to arrange a marriage for her with a man who didn’t believe in God. Lucy tried to convince her mother that she didn’t want to marry because Christ would be a partner in life much more powerful than anyone. Lucy prayed and prayed for her mother to understand her desire. Then, one day her mother's deathly illness was cured. Her mother greatly appreciated what Christ had done for her, and had agreed to Lucy's
Saint Monica In the circumstanced of Saint Monicas life she could have been a nagging wife, a bitter daughter-in-law and a despairing parent, yet she was none of those, she was actually quite the opposite of this. She was married by arrangement to a pagan official in North Africa, who was much older than her, and even though he was very generous, he also had a violent temper. His mother also Lived with them and was equally difficult as him, which proved a constant challenge to St. Monica. But she didn’t let that get to her and was still a humble good person. Patricius criticized his wife because of her charity and piety, but always respected her.
She is constantly advised by her uncle, The Mouth, to focus on religion and follow the word of Menno Simmons in order to live a blissful life. The residents of the town acted as if they were purely religious. However, they all put on a hypocritical mask and opposed religion while being undercover. This was one of the main reasons why Nomi hated her community with a passion. The eyes of T.J. Eickelberg in “The Great Gatsby”, and the Mouth in “A Complicated Kindness”, were a symbol of God.
She was so dedicated, she was a good Christian, but instead a getting something good in return she suffered and suffered till the end...She prayed day and night, hoping that her prayers and would be answered after all her suffering, but at the end it seemed that the Big Man had other plans for her... Jesus Christ said that the greatest thing is to sacrifice yourself for your friends. Indeed if Nanni did something in her life it was to sacrifice herself for all of those that ignored her and mistreated her and especially for the Respected Josiah Bryn-Bevan that she so loved and was proud of till the end. Caradoc Evans in ‘’Be This Her Memorial’’ wants in a way to attack the hypocritical Welsh people, he wants to show how religion can be bad at times and how we have to think not just follow, because if we just follow without thinking we might end up like Nanni, sacrificing everything without getting anything in
