This precious book of love, this unbound lover, To beautify him only lacks a cover. The fish lives in the sea, and ’tis much pride For fair without the fair within to hide. That book in many’s eyes doth share the glory That in gold clasps locks in the golden story. So shall you share all that he doth possess By having him, making yourself no less. LADY CAPULET (to JULIET) What do you say?
Explain why you support the position that effective Christian counseling (such that promotes meaningful change in the counselee) must support a "curative theology" and biblical sanctification. The world we live in has so much chaos. People are searching for answers everywhere to help deal with the problems that they face. Some of the problems that people are facing include, but are not limited to, domestic violence, fatherless homes, marriage trouble (divorce), as well as sexual abuse/assault (Clinton, T., Ohlschlager, G., & Hart, A., 2005). These problems not only affect the non-believer, but also the Christian.
This presents an issue with the moral and rational reasoning behind the deeds. It’s understood that the act is warranted by the divine and therefore the ethical is no longer in effect. The next term to define is the one that most of us would be familiar with and can relate to. If you’re a religious individual or have some faith in the ultimate, you might consider yourself labeled under this category. As previously stated, in order to be a KoF, you must be willing to nullify the ethical standards you are most accustomed to in order to comply to the declaration of God or any other divine or spiritual medium.
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.
She has to make emotional pleas for abolition, but she also wants to make sharp, pointed critiques of whole institution of slavery- including Northern complicities. Jacobs often uses exclamations such as “O, reader,” when she is going after the emotional appeal: “O, what days and nights of fear and sorrow that man caused me! Reader […] I do it to kindle a flame of compassion in your hears for my sisters who are still in bondage, suffering as I once suffered” (29). But then she will sharpen that up with a catchy, biting aphorism, like “Cruelty is contagious in uncivilized communities” (45), or “hot weather brings out snakes and slaveholders” (159). She is also not afraid to lay on sarcasm, as when she writes, of the rare slaveholder who is good Christian, “Her religion was not a garb put on for Sunday, and laid aside till Sunday returned again” (48).
Born a slave, it would be many years before Isabella would walk to freedom, begin her life of activism and eventually become the woman we know today as Sojourner Truth. Sojourner traveled the country speaking out against slavery that was still widespread in the south,
Howard Roark is the novel's personification of the perfect man. Rand wants us to admire his talent and individualism, and his struggle to resist society's pull and remain true to himself. “…is that which we render to the gods and which people of position most aim at, and which is the prize appointed for the noblest deeds; and this is honour.” (Aristotle) Roark’s honor is the ability to remain true to himself. Like a fish swimming upstream Roark has to battle the currents of society to reach his goal, completely independent from outside forces swaying him this way and that. “To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world.
When Santiago finally catches the Marlin, he is proud of himself. He is looking forward to showing the boy and the other fishermen that he is still strong. Although when nature fought back he was only a man but felt he was in control. "I must hold his pain where it is, he thought. Mine does not matter.
Being able to give an answer to everyone who asks is known as apologetics, which means to “give an answer.” 1{Hindson, Caner, 28} Paul said in 1 Peter 3:15 “But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (NIV). Peter does not simply suggest that we be prepared, but he compels us to be prepared always. Christianity is under attack not only by those within Christianity, but also by those in cults and other faiths.
The marlin is a male as the old man explains in page 49 “He took the bait like a male and he pulls like a male and his fight has no panic in it.” He is obviously a strong fish as he does pull for a long time, “It is half a day and a night and now another day…” He is not going to give up without a fight though and I know that for the fish it is all instinct but I think that he has to have at least a ‘trait” of perseverance and tenacious. He in many ways is equal to the old man, “I love you and respect you very much. But I will kill you dead before this day ends.” The reason I feel that the fish needed to be review is because I thought that this reflection would be unique and that everyone’s reflection would be about the old man. This is reflection of the blue marlin’s appearance, “personality”, and a bit about the story. This is my reflection on “The Old Man and the
