Convent

For this professorship, I am proposing the production of a documentary that looks at the issues of environmental racism in 1996 and the attempts by then Governor Foster and the state of Louisiana to violate the constitutional rights of citizens of Convent, Louisiana. Specifically, among other constitutional rights, I will be looking at the violations of First Amendment, specifically the right to free speech and the right to peacefully assemble. Background: In 1998, Robert Kuehn and Oliver…

leading to Benedetta’s imprisonment, and whether or now Brown made her point. I found Brown’s writing style to be easy enough to understand. In Immodest Acts she tells the story of a nun named Benedetta Carlini who moved from her mountain home to the Convent of the Mother of God at age nine in 1599. At twenty-three she began having visions of Jesus and an angel called Splenditello, and continued until 1699 after clerics released their final report on Benedetta and her mysticism. Her story is…

a nun back in May 24, 1931 in Dublin Ireland. Mother Teresa left to India as a Loreto Sister teaching young girls in the convent. Mother Teresa observed the reality of the neglected people in the streets. The violence from that time caused many to be out in the streets without food and shelter. Mother Teresa noticed a family just outside the convent walls; she left the convent to bring them food. It is there that she realized she must help. She refers to it as a “Call within a Call” Mother…

could not help but to go back to the time I spent in Africa. I was there for a month and spent a majority of my time in a Monastery and worked alongside the Sisters in that Convent. I could really tell that the Sisters were held together by their religion. It gave them something in life. Many young girls would join the Convent at a young age because it gave them in some instances a better life and in others a simple feeling of being needed and a purpose. These people used their faith to get…

novel is when Sister Ursula described when her father dropped her off at the convent and “assured Mother Superior that she was not at all wicked.” (8) This demonstrates how people attributed Sister Ursula’s “wickedness” to the fact that her mother was a prostitute (which is an internal factor because she and her mother are connected through genes – which is internal), however, her father supposedly convinced the convent that her mother being a prostitute was an external factor. This is also an…

While Heloise saw herself as a Christian, her opinions on marriage in relation to men and God were entirely different than her contemporaries because she valued personal connection and love, over objects and possessions. Heloise was raised in the convent that Abelard ultimately…

would marry her off to a suitor and was reluctant to marry at that time. She finally decided to become a nun and told her father of what she intended to do, however, he did not approve of her choice and Teresa then decided to runaway to the Carmelite convent of the…

Emma two horse traits when she seems to be under someone’s control. The first horse trait appears while Emma lives at the convent, she’s described as “she did as tightly reined horses; she pulled up short and the bit slipped from her teeth” (Flaubert 26). A convent is a place where a Christian woman solely choose to serve Christ and only Christ. Emma enters and leaves the convent as a completely different woman. At first, Emma searches for organization and control in her life, but later on…

fits the theme “Taking a Stand in History” because she started her journey as a little nun in a convent and then went on to having hundreds of convents ,that she started to help the poorest of the poor, all around the world.

cross because he wanted to imprint his Holy wounds on my body” (Brown 57). According to the text, receiving the stigmata was a miracle with extreme prestige, and it brought much power to Benedetta in her convent. The second significant element in Benedetta’s reign of religious power in her convent was her mystical marriage. According to the text, “The day after Pentecost Jesus appeared to her in a vision and announced that he wanted to marry her in a solemn ceremony” (67). Mystical marriage,…
