...are illustrated on the urn. He says that the painting is silent and does not change. What is painted on the urn is there forever. In its never-changing aspect, all the people stay fair and young, untouched by time. However, they cannot fulfill what they want to in life. Although people get old, the urn itself will remain. The urn teaches us that all we can do in life is to appreciate beauty and to be aware. The narrator’s idea of living in the eternal world of the illustrations on the urn changes from excitement at the beginning of the poem to nervousness at the end. At first, the narrator is fascinated by never-changing nature of the urn. He is amazed and describes each scene. The first scene tells a story through pictures that is set in Greece, either in Tempe or Arcady. The narrator asks many questions. He wonders whether the images represent men or gods. He also wonders what is going on in the illustration and whether it is a scene of pursuit, struggle, or ecstasy. The second scene is that of a young man playing the pipe beneath the trees. The man is similar to the leaves on the tree in that they are both fixed in time and will never die. The songs of this “happy melodist” and the “happy boughs” of the tree will live forever. The third scene is of a young lover who is very close to kissing his maiden. His maiden will stay young and beautiful forever and their love will continue endlessly. The last scene is an image of people approaching an altar to sacrifice a cow. These...

...knowledge of what it means to be a Christ follower but understanding the significance of being a Christian has deepened my knowledge even more. The two topics I will be reflecting on are the Fall of Man and Temptation. Both of these topics provide clear understanding on how and why society in today’s world is the way it is. They also provide hope in reestablishing the relationship between God and man. The Fall of Man: The fall of man marks the day where the relationship between God and man changed drastically. According to the Hutchinson Unabridged Encyclopedia, “the Fall of Man occurred in the Garden of Eden when the Serpent tempted Eve to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.” By doing this, Adam and Eve were forever punished and were no longer allowed to have the intimate relationship they had with God. In Genesis chapter 3 verses 15 - 19, God explained to both Adam and Eve that their curse on this Earth was to live off of the land, the woman would experience extreme pain during child birth, and they were to be forever banned from the Garden of Eden. Genesis is very clear on describing the effect Adam and Eve’s sin had on mankind. And because of their action, mankind is forever separated from God until He returns. What I have learned from the Fall of Man is that although man is temporarily separated from God’s intimate relationship, it does not mean we are unable to attain that special relationship with Him again. We were created in the image of God to worship Him and to...

...main theme of dealing with the dishonest. It says: 16 The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult. 17 Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit. 18 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing 19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20 Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy. 21 No ill befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble. 22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight. The author of Proverbs was very good at using literary devices to make a mental picture for the reader. He uses terms such as “lips” instead of mouth to make his point clearer and more impactful. The rough point of these verses is that lying is bad. You can see that in 12:19 when it says “truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment” also in 12:22 it says “Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD.” These two verses keep it simple basically don’t lie because those who don’t will endure forever. However, if we expand our focus to the section of scripture Proverbs 12:16-23 it...

...that while God is merciful and loving and gracious, he also is a just god who hates sin and punishes those who do sin. Jesus cautioned man about the eternal place of fire; he actually talked about hell a lot while he was on earth, after all, that is what he was here to save man from. Those who are not covered by Jesus’s sacrifice will be thrown into hell during the Judgement, and it will be a place of eternal punishment. Slick uses Matthew 25:46 to show that Hell is eternal in the same way that heaven is eternal....

Over the years, American culture has grown uncomfortable with matters of growing old and death. The basis of this thinking is rooted in the mind and influenced by society. There is an ever increasing desire that’s rampant across our nation to remain young. This can be seen in the media, marketing for different products from makeup to apparel. Americans want to remain young for as long as they possibly can. In 1984, the band Alphaville came out with the song “Forever Young” to express America’s heart cry. However, aging and death is a part of life and a direct result of the fall of man. Aging and death were not the original condition of humanity, rather punishment that resulted from rebellion against God’s commandment. This paper examines why there is aging and death, America’s response to it, and a solution to rightly mature in the process. Since long ago America’s heart cry has been to stay young forever. In 1984, the band Alphaville came out with the song “Forever Young” to communicate the nation’s desire. In cities across the country and around every turn, materialism is vocalizing the longing for youth everlasting. This constant...

...was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening, and the morning were the first day. God is the creator of all things. God created the Universe, the World, and everything in them. God created man and woman in his image. God made Man, and Woman above all living things on earth. God so loved Adam (the first man) and Eve (the first woman) he let them name everything on earth. God had only one rule. Do not eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was where Adam and Eve were created. In the tree of knowledge there was a serpent, the Devil. The Devil was Gods’ favorite angel, cast to Earth after a great war in heaven. The Devil tempted Eve, and she ate of the fruit from the tree of knowledge. After eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge, Eve convinced Adam to eat the fruit as well. God came looking for his Man, and Woman to talk with them as he often did. He found them hiding in the garden ashamed because they were naked. Right away God knew they had eaten the forbidden fruit. God was angry. He cursed the woman to bleed for eternity, and the serpent to be forever under mans feet. God...

...Chosen Audience: I chose to write to anyone out there interested in a military love story tragedy. This is meant to entertain and fill my audience with emotion. Love Means Forever From birth, Jaquelyn and William were attatched at the hip. Their mothers, whom were best friends since early childhood always said their children would be best friends. The two young women Aly and Gracelyn met in elementary school one chilly fall day on the playground. They were born and raised in a small farming town and spent almost every waking moment playing together, talking about the boys they were crushing on, and their futures as wives and mothers raising their children together. The highschool they attended was very small. No more than 100 other students in their class. It was hard for them to meet boys and they always fanticised about moving away and meeting the men of their dreams. They eventually met two young farmer boys from their highschool that stole their hearts. The four of them spent every moment together, whether it was sneaking out to watch the stars twinkle or going for midnight swims, they all made the best of things. They spent 3 magical summers together. Coming from the small town, there wasn't much to do so they had to create their own fun. They would go horseback riding, mudding in the boys trucks, or make a romantic picnic for four by the stream out in the woods. The young girls wondered and hoped they would be engaged by the time graduation came around...

...Mansfield one conflict that arose was when the fat man tried to put down Leila by telling her that she will lose her youth one day and all of the things she enjoys now will be hopeless when she is old. Leila had a hard time overcoming this conflict as she took the fat man’s words quite harshly. Leila was caught in a dilemma between listening to the fat man or ignoring him. However Leila was able to overcome this conflict by moving on and forgetting what the old man had told her. Leila had done this because she realised that even though what the fat man had said might be true; in the sense that she will grow up one day. But Leila realised that since that day isn’t tomorrow, she knew that it is important that she lives the life to fullest while she is still young. The conflict was important to the text as it showed how Leila reacts to and overcomes the conflict, the conflict also showed that at times it is important to not take everyones opinion to heart, and the conflict showed that it is important to move on from a bad situation. The conflict that Leila faced was that the fat man had said to Leila that her youth wouldn’t last forever. In the text the fat man had told Leila that one day she will have lost her youth, and become an old lady who is unhappy and no longer desired by other men. The fat man says some harsh words that makes Leila upset as she realised he was right in a way, that she will grow old eventually. The fat man had changed Leila’s perspective of the ball from...

...The word commitment can mean different things to different people. It can conjure up images of dedication to a task or mission, it can refer to an obligation to family, or it can relate to a person’s resolution to conform to what society expects of them. However, more frequently it is linked to the idea of love and relationships; and in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” that is certainly the translation that is examined. Act 2, Scene 2 of the play in question is where the famous “balcony” scene takes place. It is the location where both lovers declare their mutual love for eachother and their desire to commit to eachother. Very quickly Juliet commits to “… follow thee my lord throughout the world”. In short she falls in love with him so entirely that the instantly commits to conforming to the role of a woman that was expected by society in Verona during the Shakespearian era – to become her husband’s “servant”. Of course by 2015 standards that would seem awful to most people, however, in the 15th century this was very much the accepted view. Juliet refers to Romeo as her “lord” for his duty to her once married was to provide for her, and offer her the security that her father’s wealth did not as women were unable to inherit their father’s estate. In return married women were expected to be grateful for the opportunity of marriage and were required to show this by baring her husband’s children (heirs), maintaining the home her husband provided her with, and to obey her husband’s...
