Bertrand points out that the very first thing that he longs for is love – a fantastic wonderful thing which makes him to sacrifice his entire life for those few hours of joy where he seeks harmony in her company and would do anything for it because it knocks out the loneliness from his mind. Love leads him to heaven, which is compared to the saints and poets’ imagination, and the suffering can be eliminated. The second passion that Bertrand talks about is knowledge “I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine.” (1967, p. 64). He wants to know the deepest thoughts of humans and wonders why stars shine at night.
He built uniqueness into his ministry of Jesus to the people with music and his band. He used bible lessons; education and medical help in his missionary life, and made the Karen peoples lives better.

Songs like, “Soon I Will Be Done”, also gave off the idea of depression and how some people were looking forward to leaving earth to be with God. Also, songs like “What’s Goin’ On?” describe the feeling of dealing with hardships and violence. Songs aren’t just directed to God about joining him in heaven, but they also ask God to come down and create peace. Around 1990 a new style of music is created, artist like Tupac and Biggie began to bring everything to a whole different
Even more notable though were the changes that occurred in the people that were close to Grant. Like the people of Bayonne it was a matter of pride to Reverend Ambrose, Tante Lou, Miss Emma, and Grant to see Jefferson go down in glory. The pressure put on these individuals to transform Jefferson in such a limited amount of time builds character in them throughout the story. The change is more noticeable in the person who invests more of his life into Jefferson than any other person in the book, Grant. Although not truly apparent until the very end of the novel Grants life has taken a complete turn since the beginning when he refused to help Jefferson.
To begin, Thomas Edison, a famous American inventor, epitomizes the idea that people can truly benefit from hardship and misfortune. Throughout his career, Edison experienced a vast amount of difficulties and unluckiness when he was inventing a lamp that would be efficient, yet inexpensive. Each time he failed, he would contemplate his shortcomings so that he can prepare for his next trial. Simultaneously, he conducted many trials before he accomplished his goal of inventing the light bulb. Therefore, it’s clear that Edison’s hardship in inventing the light bulb proved to be beneficial.
1831 the year of eclipse is very intriguing in the way the author depicts the title. I also feel that the title of the book captures the idea and shows that Masur believes the eclipse to be an important aspect of 1831. It completely gives the impression that the reading is entirely about a solar eclipse however I feel that he clearly explains it as Nat Turner’s vision from heaven as well as how he saw an eclipse as a message from God saying he should use his lessons learned from the bible and become the helper of those he believed needed to be freed from slavery. As well I feel Masur chose the year of 1831 and through his elaborate research he believes it was a turning point for the United States and its structural development. He
Jesus gave His life so we could spend eternity with Him in heaven. Luke’s first escape was the ultimate sacrifice. After Luke found out his mothers death, he got on his banjo and sang a song called “The Plastic Jesus.” While Luke prayed at the church, he kept referring to God as the “Old Man.” I think this is parallel to the “OLD TESTAMENT.” Upon returning from one of Luke three escapes, the other men are obsessed with learning about his adventures in the outside world. Luke finally tells them to stop feeding off me, which is an allusion of the
A Review of Night By Elie Wiesel Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, a Nobel Prize winner, and an acclaimed author, is, behind all of the titles and accomplishments, a regular human just like everyone else. His experiences from the Holocaust separate him from the rest of us; however, it is through these experiences he is able to love fellow humans without condition. He has gone through much more suffering than the majority of us will ever know, and yet we cannot come to enjoy life on a daily basis quite like Elie Wiesel. From his knowledge and experiences, which have been illustrated in his novel Night, we can learn to enjoy life and persevere through hardship. Due to my lack of experiences with oppression, I cannot relate to Elie Wiesels situation.
Even though Jim was an outstanding athlete he still struggled financially as well as many other athletes did in the 1930’s.

The songs or hymns lyrics “Tis the old ship of Zion...it has rescued many a thousand” (425) that the narrator hears outside his window as he is about to search sonny’s room, relates to both the narrator and Sonny. This song relates to It relates, also, to the narrator because it saved the narrator from making a mistake that would have cost him the trust of his brother, who is trying to change his life.
