Glory

Fight Until Glory of Victory This week’s newspaper arrived in the mail with the headline: 1,000 more people dying in the war. I looked at the image right beneath the headline. People were trampled to death, blood visible on the dirt roads. Bodies lay on the ground dead of dysentery as the devoted soldiers continued on. The image has haunted me ever since. All those people dead are men. I longed to join those brave and patriotic soldiers out there on battle front. It’s just that women can’t…

In Molly M. Ginty’s article “All Guts, No Glory”, she explores the issue of women serving in combat and the unfair reality that females have faced in the U.S. armed forces. In my opinion I strongly believe that women should be allowed to participate in combat. Many reasons why are if she signed up for this and has all the right training for it she should be allowed to go into war and fight for our country the same way men do. Women put their life at risk the same way males do getting shipped out…

I was recently asked about a time in my life when everything was going good. A high time of life. I immediately thought of my 633 “Glory Days” during the 7th and 8th grades. While everyone, including me, was going through their awkward and angst-y early teenage years, I was focused on setting up my future. Within my first week of 7th grade, my religion teacher introduced a yearlong project to us. Going to a school that revolved around service naturally meant the project had to do with that. On…

or Jordan himself, just with all the achievements he’s got on and off the court, the man deserves respect. Michael Jordan’s famous sneaker brand “Air Jordan” is one of the most popular brands of all time. A commemoration of his work, “Work Before Glory”, is a sneaker advertisement that screens a timeline of the legacy he left and used to represent his shoes to target fans and all of the basketball lovers around the world. Throughout the sneaker commercial, Jordan talks about how basketball has…

explains how men cannot be righteous. Bildad writes, “How then can a moral be righteous before God? How can one born of a woman be pure?” (Job 25:4). This chapter aligns with the verse in Romans that states, “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). Bildad explains a point that contradicts the earlier accusations of Job not being right before God. Throughout previous chapters, Job’s friends claimed that his state was due to his wickedness towards God. However, here…

matter how great you become, your glory won’t last. The only way a person can capture that glory and make it last is to die after achieving greatness. Housman demonstrates his thoughts on this concept through a young athlete who dies. Everyone's last memories are of the young athlete at the peak of his ability; therefore, he will continue to live on in their minds as that great athlete.Housman presents idea that dying young is better for a person who has obtained glory because they will not…

talk and write about the horrific experiences that had caused their conditions; many less celebrated writers discovered the cure for themselves, and found eager readers” (Sillars 11). The poem “Disabled” by Wilfred Owen, and the poems “They” and “Glory of Women” by Siegfried Sassoon, explore the negative effects the Great War had on soldiers, while also revealing society’s reaction towards the soldiers enlistment and their return home. Aside from being killed, one of the terrors and negative…

There I was in the middle of Saskatchewan, Canada fishing with my grandfather. My mother and brother were also there and we had been fishing for about four hours. We had taken a 45 minute boat ride to into the back river system in order to get to the “Glory Hole” as my grandfather calls it. All was still and it just started drizzling a little which is normal for the afternoon, in summer at the area we were at. But as we started the motor to leave it roared to life and sputtered out within…

century. The two were part of the well-known Bloomsbury Group, and their home in Charleston as well as their work on the Church constitute the remaining evidence of the group's involvement with each other outside of London. Grant's painting Christ in Glory sits above the Berwick altar, demonstrating how the Bloomsbury Group took traditional Victorian values and flipped them on their heads by his extraordinary use of color and the inclusion of lay people in the piece. The presence of a multitude…

Does Walter White’s Virtù begin to diminish as the show “Breaking Bad” continues and what is it that Walter wants as his glory? These are the questions I have been asking myself as I have attempted to write this essay. The television show I selected for this essay was “Breaking Bad” by Vince Gilligan. The show follows the life of a chemistry teacher named Walter White, who has discovered that he has stage 3 lung cancer. Upon the discovery that he has a death sentence, Walter embarks on a…
