...Through a comparative analysis of Edson’s W;t and Donne’s Holy sonnets, the metaphysical questions of life are illuminated, with the paradigms associated with the Jacobean period, as expressed in the sonnets, effectively appropriated to address a 20th century audience in W;t. These explicit and implicit links allow for an intensified understanding of the acceptance of death and the human quest to come to terms with salvation/redemption, further conveying the relationship between text and context. Thus the reciprocal values of these texts’ transcend their contextual limitations. Their meaning immortalised, they remain forever relevant to the human attempt to derive meaning. Through a comparative study of the texts, the eternal paradox of the complex journey (and process of suffering) required to realise the importance of accepting embracing values of faith, simplicity and, human mortality, in the process of achieving redemption (and forming a new identity )has been exemplified. “And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die”. This use of personification encapsulates the beginning of a journey both Vivian and Donne undertake upon reaching a state of “salvation anxiety”. Immersed in the death of his four still born children, and the plague ridden society that was in the process of forming the first cracks in what would be a paradigm shift away from blind faith, Donne initially struggled to accept his mortality, using “verbal swordplay” as a means in which to “run and hide”...

...Guilt and the search for redemption are two very important themes in “The Kite Runner”, as the reader watches Amir, the main character, deal with his guilt over the betrayal of a friend and the lengths he would go to gain forgiveness. Amir has always felt guilty over the loss of his mother. She died giving birth to him and he sees himself as his mother’s killer, the one who took Baba’s “princess” away form him. Amir believes that this is the reason why his relationship with his father is so strained and spends most of his childhood attempting to win his father’s love and forgiveness. His constant need of Baba’s approval is what drives Amir to want to win the kite fighting competition, to show Baba that he could also be a winner and make him proud. Amir is convinced that if he brings Baba the blue kite he will finally forgive him for his mother’s death and truly accept him. In his search for redemption Amir commits a terrible crime when he watches his friend Hassan get raped but does nothing about it. Instead of standing up to his friend and try to stop Assef from raping Hassan he hides and after pretends he never saw anything. He tries to justify his actions by saying that if he had intervened he would have gotten hurt, but he knows that the real reason why he did not defend Hassan is that he would have lost the kite and with it Baba’s love, so he sacrifices his friend for the approval of his father. “I actually aspired to cowardice, because the alternative, the real...

...Equity has brought benefits to many litigants who would otherwise have been severely disadvantaged by the common law. Discuss, with reference to decided cases. William the Conqueror found England with no single system of law common to the whole country. The law was mainly sets of customary rules which differed from area to area. For example, in one area you could get away with stealing, in another it would be seen as crime. There was no such thing as ‘ The English Legal System” until William’s invasion in 1066. William developed the legal system and introduced many rules. William preserved some of the old customary laws and used them as a basis for common laws. He introduced the feudal system and King’s justice, these were made to help those who supported him. Williams used subtle tactics to gain control of the country. He introduced Curia Regis, who enforced a system of rules which applied to the whole country and became known as common law. Although common law was seen for the better, it came with few problems. One of the problems was the rigidity of the writ system. In common law, if someone wants their case to be heard in court, they have to fit their complaints into the existing writs. If the writs are not similar to the existing ones, the cases will not be heard in court. The system was formal and rigid, bound by 'no writ, no remedy'. So if there was no writ to deal with the plaintiff's claim then there was no remedy. In addition to that, the common law uses damages...

...stand up to anything” – Baba says this to Rahim Khan as a comment on the behaviour of Amir. Through this he identifies Amir’s greatest flaw: cowardice. It is this trait that leaves him desperately craving Baba’s love, and ultimately leads to be letting Assef rape Hassan. It also foreshadows Amir’s return to Kabul in search of Sohrab; the test of Amir’s character also tests whether Baba’s statement is true. “Huddled together in the dining room and waiting for the sun to rise, none of us had any notion that a way of life had ended” – This sentence appears towards the start of chapter five and indicates the fall of the monarchy and the descent of Kabul (and indeed Afghanistan) into political instability. The peaceful world Amir knows, made possible by Baba’s wealth, turns into one full of violence and uncertainty. It ultimately leads to Baba and Amir fleeing the country. “There is a way to be good again” – Rahim Khan says this to Amir over the phone when trying to encourage him to come to Pakistan and in the dialogue this appears like an afterthought. It reveals that Rahim Khan knows the truth about what Amir did to Hassan. It also ties into the theme of redemption, allowing the reader to believe that by returning to the Middle East, Amir will be given the opportunity to break the cycle of guilt he is trapped in. “My body was broken—just how badly I wouldn’t find out until later—but I felt healed... healed at last” – Amir makes this comment during his fight with Assef, showing...

...The search for redemption “That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out.

...Running header: THE BROADWAY CAFE Lloyd Wayne Murphy Reengineering: The Broadway Café Strayer University Professor Eve Yeates WINTER CIS 500 March 10, 2012 Abstract A customary coffee lovers rendezvous in the heart of academia stands The Broadway Café arose established in 1952, by my grandfather neighboring the open campus of the University of Texas (UT), Austin, Texas, and my grandfather in his last will and testament rendered the ownership of café as a bequest to me upon his passing. The eatery had under his stewardship presented its clientele with a repertoire of superlative cuisine, exotic beverages over the years, as well as a rendering of an assortment of specialty coffees, teas, and a complete bakery, offering a plethora of pastries, assorted sandwiches, salads, and potages. The issue stands as to whether the eatery can arise to stand as a financial windfall or fall into a financial dilemma. However, my grandfather possessed exceptional expertise in operating the eatery, the eatery’s nontechnological business operations remain today in the same manner as they did in 1952. Consequently, the eatery had incurred a progressive decline of five years of clientele. The eatery possesses no computers: the eatery’s orders take place by hand, or maintain a Web site: thus, consequently, the marketing occurred via the eatery’s clientele. The eatery’s promotion coupons occurred via pamphlets and newspaper clip outs, the eatery’s payroll, and inventory tracking...

...In his tremendously bold and thought-provoking novel ‘The Kite Runner’, Khaled Hossieni leads his audience down the path of a young boy growing up in Afghanistan and his road to find redemption. At the beginning of the novel, we find a grown man named Amir, still struggling to overcome his ‘shameful past’ of sins, lying and betrayal. As we are transported into the world of Amir in his home town of Kabul in North-East Afghanistan, we experience his life story; from early childhood, where he flew kites daily with his Hazara friend Hassan, to his adulthood in America where he struggled to live in the poor conditions with his ill father. Amir’s wrong-doings back in his childhood forever haunt him and the secrets of his past drive him to seek redemption and endeavor to find amends for his sins. Amir’s childhood consisted of mockery and disloyalty to Hassan. Even after moving away to America with his father, Amir finds it difficult and cannot bury his guilt. Amir’s return to Afghanistan in order to ‘be good again’, is a mere act of selfishness as his only motivation for returning was to relieve himself of the remorse that he felt for many years. In the beginning, Amir and Hassan’s friendship seems unbinding and they are practically inseparable. Whether flying kites out in the streets or reading books by the pomegranate tree, the two young Afghani boys did everything together. Hassan’s unyielding loyalty and willingness to serve Amir is truly astonishing and yet Amir tends never to...

...‘The Kite Runner’, written by Khaled Hosseini, is a novel based on the life journey of a man named Amir. Although very dark, through the use of important themes the book is made strongly relatable to young people. Three of these include: degradation, the fragile relationship between a father and his son and the pursuit for redemption. The fragility of a father and his son’s relationship is shown through the strong characterisation of both males and the constant use of proleptic irony embedded throughout their relationship. The symbols of rape express the theme of degradation and class discrimination, whereas the pursuit for redemption is conveyed through the dramatic sequences of events that occur during the course of the novel. Hosseini heavily emphasises the Afghani class discrimination, with the ‘pure’ Pashtuns being the dominate race over the low class, minority group of Hazaras. This degradation makes it very difficult for anyone to marry into another class and the Hazaras are often victims of physical, emotional and psychological abuse at the hands of Pashtuns. Hosseini uses the act of rape since it carries a great deal of significance as it demonstrates a symbolic violation of the powerless by those who have power. In each instance of rape we see that the rapist is always in a position of greater power both socially and physically. For instance, Assef, a well-known bully, is rich and has a politically powerful father, while, Amir’s friend and later, found to be half-brother...

...distinct differences. As defined, Buddhism is a religion and philosophy based on teachings of Siddhartha Gautama in about 500 B.C.E. Buddhism is considered a world religion but is principally practiced in China, India, and other parts of Asia (Duiker and Spielvogel 490). To date, Buddhism has over three hundred million followers around the world. According to belief and custom, Siddhartha Gautama was born into a royal family and at age of twenty nine, he became conscious of the fact that wealth and luxury did not guarantee happiness. Upon his realization of the “pain of illness,” Siddhartha left home. He began to explore dissimilar traditions and religions (Duiker and Spielvogel 46). Daily, he made a practice to search for and explore difference ideas, philosophies, in search of finding the key to human happiness. Through meditation he finally found 'the middle path’ and was enlightened. “By observing the activities of mankind in real life, the Buddha mastered the principles of human behavior. He then taught the two characteristics of the Middle Path” (Buddhism - The Middle Path). What is Christianity? When discussing Christianity and defining what is a “true Christian” or “which definition is correct” there are several different definitions and versions as to describe Christianity. Therefore, for the purpose of this essay, I will focus on the movement of early Christianity. “To many in the very early Christian movement, a Christian was defined as a person who was baptized and...

...highest education is found in the communion of the human mind to the mind of God, that is the finite with the Infinite. “Acquaint now thyself with Him” (Job 22:21), is God’s message to us. The work of redemption such as restoring in the man the image of God, bringing him back to the perfection that he was created, and promoting the development of the body, mind, and soul, is the object of education. Love is the basis of education. The Holy Scriptures are the perfect standard of truth and should be given the highest regard in education. In the Garden of Eden, God illustrated a model school where He himself was the Teacher and the first couple were his students. God was after the highest good of his students that they may not be idle. He had given them a useful occupation that will strengthen their body, expand their mind and develop their character. Generally, the students of highest education must be fitted more and more to fully reflect the light of the knowledge of His glory. God gave humans the power of choice. Sin was brought into the world when our fist parents chose to distrust God’s goodness, have disbelief of His word, and reject His authority. However, through redemption the communion with God is made possible again. Hence, the work of education and redemption are one. And the great principles of education are unchanged throughout ages for these principles are the character of God. God provided illustrations from history...
