She tells countless stories of her father and the liar’s club, a group of men sitting around and telling their life stories. Karr recognizes her father’s lies, but sits quietly. As a child she was exposed to many of her parents fights, recalling, “we’d go...to see who'd thrown what or who passed out” (Karr 39). Her mother was mentally unstable, pulling a butcher knife on the children and even burning their clothes. After all they had witnessed through their mother's deteriorating state of mind, they still chose to live with her during the divorce. Their loyalty to their mother shows the endurance of love and family, where not even a knife to them can scare them away. Walls also uses anecdotes, but to achieve an entirely different purpose. Walls tells story of each of the many places she moved around with her family, each consistent with their bad living conditions. Her summer was not filled with vacations and water parks as other kids, yet still enjoyed it because “each day we had more light to read by” (Walls 168). She recognized that this was not her ideal life, and had always been set on making a better life for herself until she could finally say the words “I actually live on Park Avenue” (Walls 268). Her anecdotes showed the reader that the past does not define oneself, and one can make himself into something greater than what they were raised to…

The word trilogy brings us all the way to the time of Athens and Greece. In around 500 B.C there were Dionysian festivals of ancient Greece and trilogies of plays were performed. The Oresteia is the only surviving trilogy of that was performed in Athens. Trilogies most often mirrors the three-act structure proposed by Aristotle. The Greek philosopher described stories as having a beginning, middle, and end, separating them into three pieces often followed that structure.…
First of all, her bravery allowed her to face fears that came her way, and granted her a new identity as “Tris”. Moreover, Tris’ Divergent status assisted her greatly in the pursuit of her identity, and ultimately helped her realize the truth. These traits commonly appear throughout the story and reflect on Tris’ personality for who she is and what she stands for. At the end of the story, her goal is finally achieved when she accepts the fact that she is a unique individual that cannot only display one personality, akin to any other human being living in the world…

Ronald N. Nash does a great job in his book Is Jesus the only Savior, Ronald Nash not at one time left the truth of the Christian world at all; for a matter of fact Nash only brings out what every Christian should already know. In part one Nash takes apart the argument of Pluralistic1 but at the same time Nash keep in line with his beliefs in Christianity while pointed out Hick’s tactic in chapter five but I must bring out this part of one of Nash answer on p. 75, Nash says “it appears that Hick suffers from a blind spot or two. As Geivett observes, “clearly, Hick’s own moral intuitions have become a control on what he is willing to acknowledge as an authentic account of what Jesus said and did. Ronald N. Nash, p.81, 1994. How many times we see and hear this in today’s world how people want to see Jesus Christ the way they want too rather than to receive what the Bible says about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But Nash does not stop there but Nash goes on to say “Sir Norman Anderson faults Hick for greatly exaggerating the paucity of positive evidence we have about the one to whom he refers as the largely unknown man of Nazareth. Hick ignores Jesus own statements about his death, as attested by the Synoptic writers (Matt. 20:17-19: 26:12f; Mark 10-33f; Luke 18:31-34).” But in part two Nash takes his time and begin to focus on central points within the text, at the beginning of chapter eight Nash talks to us about General and Special Revelation how God took Abraham, Moses, and Paul, Nash pointed out to us that this is special revelation; because it is to bring human beings to a saving…
To begin our discourse on theory, we will start with Herman’s (1997) tri-phasic model of trauma. At this point, Jane is solidly in stage one. Stage one of Herman’s tri-phasic model is focused upon creating safety for the individual. Nightmares, flashbacks, racing thoughts, memories, and emotions create a series of conditions within the brain and body where the limbic system becomes hijacked and the brain begins a stress response within the body. Having the limbic system hijacked can leave the individual feeling unsafe and going through repeated stress responses. Herman (1997) states “no other therapeutic work should even be attempted until a reasonable degree of safety has been achieved” (pg. 159). By gauging her current coping skills and providing containment through a guided imagery exercise when I found her distressed, I sought to help Jane create safety in her body in accordance with the tri-phasic model.…

People everywhere are saddened with their losses and the inference it has on the world. Many theories arise and people attempt to make sense of the events. One of these theories is that Christ has come back and raptured his church.

As the Bible predicts, there will be seven years of trials and tribulations where the Antichrist will rise to power and wield his might. Many more will die before the seven years are finished, but for those that remain, they will witness the Magnificent Appearance of Christ.
