The term "atheism" originated from the Greek (atheos), meaning "without god(s)", used as a…

In the story Cain: A Mystery by Lord Bryon, Bryon creates the character Cain as a suffering eldest brother of Abel and son of Adam and Eve with the many complications of his own thoughts. This character is a key aspect of the author’s purpose. The author wants the readers to understand that your own thoughts impact the world around you when put into action.

From books and TV shows to movies and plays, the contrast between light and dark is found everywhere. Typically, light indicates something good, while the dark is something to be feared and is bad. For example, most people have this notion that Heaven, which is an unquestionably excellent place, is all light, while Hell, which is atrocious, is completely dark. Even little kids assume something bad is going to happen in the dark, but if they have a night light, then everything will be okay. This…

In John Milton’s Paradise Lost, Satan makes a number of observations, one being, “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.” This suggests that each individual has the power to change their mindset on a situation, which can be translated to the present in an overwhelming amount of ways. At one point or another, nearly everybody has been told less is more. Of course, many people associate this with how much dressing they put on their salad or something…

through acres of fruit trees “We walked with an accustomed tread through the acres of fruit trees, where the least energetic could find an easy if unsatisfying meal" (Golding, 50). The Bible has a similar section to it where God speaks to Adam and Eve, and says "I have proclaimed all kinds of grain and all kinds of fruit for you to eat; but for all the wild animals and for all the birds I have provided grass and leafy plants for food" (Genesis 1.29-30). The fruit trees on both islands, are the…

I think culture is one of the more important aspects of society, if not the most important. Conley, in chapter three, redefined my views on culture and how regulated it is in everyones lives. Conley also writes about the media’s influence in our everyday world and how inclined we are, as a country, to live up to their expectations. “Culture is the sum of the social categories and concepts we recognize in addition to our beliefs, behaviors (except instinctual ones), and practices” (Conley).…

the things far beyond his reach. The epiphany signifies his beginning of maturity as he works to be patient in such matters. At last, when his brother arrives, the narrator observes his brother’s friends “have come so far and tomorrow is Christmas Eve and stretches of mountains and water sill lie between them and those they love” (MacLeod 303). The protagonist shows concern towards someone who he does not know very well. Despite all his problems, whether it is losing his father, or his ambiguity…

Evading jabs, dodging roundhouse kicks, struggling to keep up. This was the hardest sparring match I had ever faced in my life. Not only, because of the physical aspect, but also the mental restraint. THUMP. I felt as if I had collided with a freight truck right in the stomach. Losing my balance and eventually falling, time momentarily stopped. Who could this mighty opponent I was facing? It was the person most similar to me. A “mini-me,” as most would say: black hair, brown eyes, brown skin,…

Abel may have given some causation to the suffering of mankind, it does not explain the aspects of death, the suffering and inequality of women, or need to cultivate food. For these questions to be answered a story such as the tale of the Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden had to occur after the creation of the world, but before the beginning of civilization. In comparison the two myths may appear to answer similar questions, however, both were needed to answer the great unknown questions…

Daisy Drama101 Kreilkamp 10/14/15 In the play, A Doll’s House, there were many uses of imagery and symbols. The symbols that I chose to write about are the use of the Christmas tree, Nora’s tarantella dance, Nora’s costumes, and the macaroons. Each symbol helps move along the story of Nora and Torvald’s relationship and how Nora is treated inside of her home. Her emotions change throughout the play and the symbols help show how she feels. The Christmas tree represents happiness and joy. It’s…
