As in Huswifery, a writing about Anne’s house burning down. Anne was very sad when all of her memories parished in the fire. She soon accepted what happened for it was up to God the true owner who gave and took. Diaries and histories were the most common forms of expression in Puritan society; in them writers described the workings of God. In a story called Of
Clara immersed herself in church work to “keep busy” and help the community around her but never had “deep religious feelings” towards Universalism. She had trouble in the idea of the joy there should be in life with the amount of grief that was present in the lives of those around her. Although Barton never claimed to have no faith, she described herself as being more of a “well-disposed pagan”. By Barton’s own standards of living up to her religious morals, I believe that she did as she thought was right. 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”.
If God gives, why wouldn’t he have a right to take away? Job even speaks these words: Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised” (NIV Bible, Job. 1.21). Both Job and J.B. stand for their opinion when their wives tell them to curse God, but start doubting themselves weather they are as innocent as they think when their friends “come to help”, that’s when the main difference occur.
This poem essentially portrays about a tragic incident. A fire occurred in a house which led to the death of the author’s families and herself as well. This assumption can be made from the quotes “where have they gone to, brother and sister, mother and father? Off along the shore, perhaps. Their clothes are still on the hangers”, “I can’t see my own arms and legs”, and “holding my cindery, non-existent.” Additionally, the first perspective used in this poem represents the presence of the author.
The woman, refusing, lit her house along with herself on fire. Montag felt sick for a few days afterward, trying to understand why somebody would value books over their own life. Their purpose was hidden from him, and he fell into a sick sadness. As Beatty came to Montag's house to explain that what he was feeling was normal, he made a resolve not to return to his job as a fireman. Right after which, he said to his wife while pacing back and forth in an obvious agitation, “Happiness is important.
She states that, "I felt it, snug inside my heart, the pearl of great price. No one had to tell me to believe in God or to love everything that lives. I did that automatically." (44). This is significant because it shows that Patria is very loving and faithful person.
Protection in the Midst of the Storm Mary Rowlandson develops the theme of God’s sovereignty clearly through her comments and use of Scripture in her work, A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson. She first addresses this theme in her first remove. In this portion of the book, Rowlandson laments about the condition of her wounded daughter and herself. God remains unmentioned throughout the entirety of this section as she describes the terror of being forced to live in “the resemblance of hell.” (45) She portrays in vivid detail the desolation of being captured while the rest of her family and friends are either slaughtered or separated. In her “at present worse than death” (45) condition, she focuses on survival and grieves her
My favorite verse from that section was Exodus 21:22-25. I had never heard of the premature fine or retaliation and it is very interesting because it does paint a perfect picture that even in biblical times it was not okay to abort. My favorite part from the philosophical section was when they talked about quality of life as a reason for abortion. I liked the example the article gave of May, Jesus’s mother. She was poor and had a baby that was not her husbands, yet she decided to keep it and it was the savior of the world.
An example of some of the things that George Henderson says in his paper about poverty is, “Poverty is staying up all night on' cold nights to watch the fire knowing one spark on the newspaper covering the walls means you’re sleeping child dies in flames. In summer poverty is watching gnats and flies devour your baby's tears when he cries.” In the novel Enrique’s Journey, by Sonia Nazario poverty is everywhere, some places are just worse than others like families living in shacks, only being able to eat one meal a day. These authors and others are pointing out an indisputable fact. Poverty is everywhere and everyone needs to be doing something about it. Sonia Nazario describes a very graphic picture of children without one or any parents, food, shelter, and clothing, which many Americans choose to ignore and go about their business like it doesn’t happen here and around the world.
Lady Macbeth’s Suicide Note My dearest partner in heinous crime, the dark has come. Hell enshrouds me. I am like a child afraid of the dark. I must keep the candles lit at all hours. My childhood eyes see in the darkness the “painted devils.” (Act 1 Scene 2) My ears hear the “owl scream” and the “crying crickets” and the “croaking raven” (Act 2 Scene 5) - all rob my sleep.
