...I got from online google In the play Everyman, death is personified and treated as an agent of God that goes to visit the plays protagonist, Everyman. The unknown author of the play uses Death as a character to present a very real truth that all people will meet death. Death is an antagonist in the play and represents physical death. The word "death" grabs people's attention because it is a strong word. It is a loaded, often offensive, intense word and it reflects a reality every human will one day have to realize. The author understands death's implications and uses it to draw the reader in. In the play Everyman, the character Death is presented by the author as an allegorical representation of physical death and the reader finds that Death is under God's control, brings conviction, and will visit everyone. In Everyman the character Death is viewed as submissive to God's will and under His command. Since the play is a morality play, the characteristics of Death are viewed as the same as a human's physical death. In the Literature Criticism from 1400 to 1800, the author brings to attention that "[t]he themes in Everyman are strongly reflected in the allegorical characters which populate the work." The play opens up with "[h]ere beginneth a treatise how the High Father of Heaven sendeth Death to summon every creature to come and give an account of their lives in this world, and is in manner of a moral play." In Everyman, Death is merely a carrier and transporter for God. From...

...SECULAR LITERATURE | Important Reasons for the Christian to Study Secular Literature | | When thinking of secular literature it could be defined as literature that is not bound by religious views, but rather literature that is based on worldly views and not on religious principles. My first thought will be on the importance of Christians reading secular literature. It is my belief also that Christians should read secular literature because even though it may be based on principles of “secularism,” does not mean it is not good reading material. To be a good student, one must be aware of what is going on in the worldly readings, as well as scriptural readings. This is what will make us good scholars in the natural and spiritual. The thoughts that stick with me most from the presentations are: “Seek God’s wholeness for your life, the how and why is important, Jesus is the Master Teacher, Literature helps you be exposed to the world around you, and Television has inundated American Culture.” Seeking God’s wholeness for your life, the how and why is important really struck me. It is imperative that we make sure we are not trying to fill our lives with things that will give us temporary satisfaction. While we all have flaws about us, Jesus shedding His blood on the cross for us, has given us an entrance into becoming whole; once we become one through His transforming power, then we can begin to seek answers for the how and the why concerning our lives. This leads us to Him...

...EN102 - English Composition II VIP - Week 5 Week 5 Objectives: Upon successful completion of this Lesson, students will be able to: Reflect and respond to published works using scholarly analysis Utilize library resources when researching Reading Assignment Key Points: Academic writing is all about dissent. As writers in academia, we welcome a dialogue with those whose ideas challenge our own. This is an essential part of the academic process for several reasons: Because through dissent we add to the general pool of knowledge, Because through these challenges to our ideas, we strengthen our arguments, Because it compels us to seek a much broader, more encompassing world view. Inductive and Deductive Reasoning When we think, we start with, what Aristotle called the “Three Fundamental Laws of Thought.” While this is a complex concept, we can simplify it as: 1. The Law of Identity: Whatever is, is what it is. For instance, a cow is a cow. It may be a Jersey cow, it may be an old cow, it may even be a purple cow, but it is most definitely a cow. 2. The Law of Contradiction: Nothing can both be, and not be. A cow cannot both be a cow and not a cow at the same time. 3. The Law of the Excluded Middle: Everything must either be or not be. For instance, a cow is not, under any circumstances, and un-cow. A horse is also not a cow. According to these laws, there is no middle ground. Naming a thing makes it conceptual; it is, quite simply...

"Wood" in line 18 symbolic of private/inner struggle in line 18 III. Symbolism showing longing for both paths a. "Sorry" in line 2 b. "And both that morning equally lay" in line 11 IV. Symbolism showing backup plan a. "Kept the first for another day" in line 13 V. Symbolism showing satisfaction with choice a. "Made all the difference" in line 20 VI. Conclusion Symbolism in The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost is descriptive of a young adult's private struggle regarding which path in life to take. The many symbols in the poem show a young person who is indecisive about which choice to make and the longing to choose each option in front of them. The symbolism follows the person's indecision through to decision and finally shows satisfaction with the choice made. The first display of symbolism occurs in line 1, where he utilizes the term "yellow wood" to show the earliness of day, reminding the reader of sunrise and also showing symbolically a beginning. Again in line 11, Frost uses the term "morning" to show both the time of day and also symbolize the...

...Throughout the course of my English 102 class, there have been many attributing factors that have not only geared me toward meeting the course objectives but have challenged and strengthened my analytical and critical thinking skills. My portfolio highlights these acquired skills through two outside of class essays, which required two completely different styles of writing. Another key element that has helped to illustrate the writing process for the two essays in my portfolio was the use of reading various types of literature. This included but was not limited to, editorials, newspaper articles, books, and specific disciplines of research in course related fields. These two essays essentially reshaped my ability to write for specific audiences...

...Poetry Essay Aldain Barham Liberty University English 102 Thesis Statement: The poem is a great example of communicative techniques and display of mood. Themes of the poem include man and nature, life and religion to list a few. Because the identity of the poet isn't really entailed in the poem but further investigation on him has given me answers which prove relevant to the poem. Although the setting of the poem isn't explicitly listed in the poem one can get a feel of the setting due to the fact that it was written in 1877 which was in the industrialization era. And all of the themes are strongly conveyed within the poem and descriptive in nature. (1. Themes a. Man and Nature b. Life c. Religion (2. Setting a. Industrialization Era b. 1877 (3. Mood a. Melancholy The poem I choose to discus in my essay is “God’s Grandeur” by Gerald Manley Hopkins, and was first captivated by the form of which the Poem is written in which is an Italian Sonnet. As we delve deeper into the poem we noticed it isn’t subjugated to one theme but has an abundance of themes such as man and nature, life and religion to list a few. In line two of the poem we see that Gerald Manley Hopkins states, “It will flame out, like shining from shook foil,” indicating that once was will eventually flame and cease to exist. We see this happening with nature in our current state will the rapid depletion of many nature resources and the continual decline predicted...

...of Passions ENGL 102: Composition and Literature Fall D 2014 Nicholas Pampaloni, L2366120 MLA Outline THESIS: The themes of Shirley Jackson’s, “The Lottery” and D.H. Lawrence’s, “The Rocking-Horse Winner” demonstrate a very powerful and sinister aspect of fallen human nature. The characters in both of these stories are driven to what many would describe as insanity in the pursuit of a passion. Ultimately, these pursuits end in unimaginable tragedy and pain. I. The townspeople in “The Lottery” and the family members in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” are caught up in their passions. A. Paul is pursuing answers as a way to earn money and become lucky. B. The townspeople are pursuing an ancient tradition, no matter how immoral it may be. II. Paul and the townspeople stop for nothing in their pursuits. C. Paul will not give up until he is sure about the final race winner, even when it drives him to the point of mental and physical exhaustion. D. The townspeople will not give up their tradition of the lottery, even though they are murdering a wife and mother. III. Both pursuits end in terrible tragedy. E. Paul, as a child, dies with his final words declaring his accomplishments in the pursuit of money. F. Mrs. Hutchinson is brutally murdered despite her pleas for mercy as the townspeople “hurry” to fulfill their terrible tradition and move on with their day.

...Olivia Fortier March 14, 2014 C. Hellwig English 102-038 Rhetorical Analysis Women Don’t Have to Be One Shape to Be Beautiful Dove’s Real Beauty advertising campaign is meant to promote a positive body image for young girls and women alike. The campaign was designed to combat problems women have been facing for decades, even centuries: self esteem issues and unrealistic views on body image. If you ask a woman her definition of beauty she will more than likely give you the description of a fashion model. The fashion models portray an unattainable, unrealistic, and often times unhealthy body image. Most women have a skewed image of what a healthy body physique looks like because of what they have seen in the pages of magazines, or billboards, or on television from an early age. Dove’s Real Beauty campaign features eleven women of all sizes, body types, and heights. They wear white lingerie, but of different styles to fit their body types. Dove used women of different races, hairstyles and hair colors. The Dove Real Beauty campaign provided a revolutionary view of beauty for young girls and women, and put on emphasis on self-esteem. The Dove Real Beauty campaign appealed to the average sized women, all over the globe, all races, from all walks of life, and from every age. From an early age women are led to believe that the 5’11” 115 pound model is the image of perfection and they should strive to look like the women in the magazines or the fashion models strutting...

...Recycling in Colorado? Throughout the last 5 months I had collected plastic bottles with hopes that I could recycle them and help save my part in the environment. Through my exploration I found there was only one location in Pueblo to recycle my plastic, but also I was required to pay for my donation. I was appalled at this discovery and questioned the idea of this charge. After speaking with the employees at this recycling center I was told “Colorado has too much empty space for landfills so rather than applying money to start recycling programs we can just bury it for cheaper.” Is this why it is so hard to recycle in Colorado; to think that such an idea truly existed created the thirst to find out why this is such an accepted idea. I believe that we need to stop this idea, and make a huge curve for the better of our community and our environment in Colorado. According to Boulder Colorado’s EcoCycle, Colorado recycling ranks 47th out of the 50 United States today! We should be so ashamed. Growing up in states like Massachusetts, Michigan, and California it is depressing when I look at the bottles and cans seeing the label that says return for 5 – 15 cents. Why can’t CO. have this; why can’t every state have this? Each issue that I have inquired about with the recycling programs brings up cost and efficiency however when seeing the facts from other states compared to Colorado it just seems that we don’t wish to see the final analysis. How are states like CA. and MA. had...

...Magic in the Kitchen My wife has a new hobby: baking. Since I bought her Vitamix, a heavy duty blender, she is so in love with it that she bakes even twice a week. I need to say that for the person who has never done this before, she is doing really well. So I decided to watch her make my favorite cranberry walnut bread (which technically tastes like a cake so I am not sure where that "bread" word comes from). It is a Friday evening when she decides to prepare this delicious bread so we can have it for our breakfast the next morning. I am sitting by the kitchen's island quietly taking notes and ensuring her that I will make the next cranberry walnut cake on my own. It is pretty late, almost bed time but she seems full of energy. The snow is snowing heavily and I can hear the snow plough working outside. The kitchen’s island is her favorite place to prepare food and it is also the closest place to the fridge and the pantry. The kitchen cabinets are grey at the bottom and white on top. They have long and wide silver handles. The white quartz countertop shines like she has just polished it. Vitamix is right on top of the cabinet to the right from the island. It is a gigantic mixer, black and silver, with a plastic container. Then, she turns on the Pandora radio to her favorite “Gotan Project” station, pours a glass of Spanish red wine and she starts to do her magic. The first thing she does is to open the Vitamix's cookbook. She stores it along with...

...Puritans were English people who sought to “purify” the Church of England from within. They came by the thousands to the American colonies, although well after the Pilgrims. Pilgrims came to the colonies in small numbers. 102 Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower after fleeing Holland, and endured a rough winter on the stony coast of New England in the year 1620. Separatist pilgrims were more extremist Puritans who separated completely from the Church of England and moved to the American colonies for religious refuge. The Mayflower Compact was written by the 102 pilgrims aboard the Mayflower. Before disembarking, the pilgrims wrote up the document, which was essentially an agreement to form a government in Plymouth in which the majority rules....
