The one event in the movie that left a lasting impression was when they were picketing the president and were arrested for obstructing traffic. They were then sent to jail, and after they refused to eat, Alice Paul was force fed. This left an impression on me because in order for someone to go through all of the pain, they must have really wanted to make a point and fight for their cause. This part of the movie showed just how dedicated Alice along with all the people who supported her were for…
Fear: “An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.” 1 Tension: “A strained state or condition resulting from forces acting in opposition to each other AND A relationship between ideas or qualities with conflicting demands or implications.” 2 Both of these ran rampant in the British North American Colonies between 1861 and 1871. Almost a decade of political turmoil, and pressure, riddled with uneasy situations and…
The future of The Beatles was threatened when in 1966 member John Lennon said, “We’re more popular than Jesus now.” This controversial remark was plastered across all mass media and set off “protests, death threats and the end to the Beatles’ touring career” (Rolling Stone 2016). Datebook, an American teen magazine, reprinted Lennon’s “more popular than Jesus now” remark and it led to a “Beatle boycott.” Families and members of the Christian church burned Beatles records and put on protests to…
In 2004, the alternative rock music world was shook by the release of the song, “Alive With the Glory of Love” by Say Anything, with a catchy beat and an interesting backstory it quickly gained popularity and resonated with many listeners especially myself.

school pushed all students to achieve. The education was relevant to real life and they teach them a lot of stuff.

Paul had the same experience as Bill Gates. His Microsoft had expanded in and a lot of people use it now. His net worth is 79.2 billion because the Microsoft helped him a lot to make that much money.

issue that Paul begins to discuss in Romans 2. As stated previously, to Paul, merely hearing or knowing of the Jewish Law is not enough to be excluded from God’s judgment (2:3,12-13). However, Paul does not appear to call for a complete abandonment of the Law simply because neither Jews nor Gentiles can follow it perfectly. While Paul’s overall theology, as explained later in Romans, argues that only faith in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection will bring salvation, in Romans 2, Paul makes the…

What doe Paul pray for? (“for this reason. . .”) The Ephesian is a gentile church established by Paul in the City of Ephesus. He recounts that the gentiles once alienated from the promises of God, but now gentiles, who receive the gospel in faith, are fellow heirs of the promises of God. The mystery of the Church revealed to him that the gentiles, are members of the body of Christ same as the Jews who are heirs of the promises. They are partakes with Israel in God’s Son. For this reason he…
