Dance With The Devil: A Comparative Analysis
The texts Monster written and performed by 4 members of the DC slam team, Dance with the Devil composed by Immortal Technique, Blindside directed by John Lee Hancock, and Divergent directed by Neil Burger, studied the connecting idea of influences across life in varying ways. An important lesson that was found was that our cultural capital can influence our choices and the way we see and value things in life. Secondly, it is our choice on whether we let our past and cultural capital be the barrier that stops us from seeing things from a new and broader perspective.

    Compare and Contrast Night to Devil's Arithmetic

    There are many similarities and differences between the two stories Night and Devil's Arithmetic. First I will give some background information on the two stories. Night is a story about a boy named Eliezer and his father who are sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp in Poland. Devil's Arithmetic is a story about a girl, Hannah who does not care about her heritage but then dreams of a time in a concentration camp where she learns a lesson she will never forget. My two similarities are the journey for Eliezer from Night and Hannah Stem from Devil's Arithmetic to the concentration camp from their homes are the same, and the equivalence of the Hannah and Rivka meeting and Eliezer and the French girl meeting. My difference is that Eliezer is sure of himself and his religion and Hannah is not sure of herself at all.…

    The Devil in Disguise: Comparing and Contrasting the Devil Figure in "Where Are You Going; Where Have You Been?" "The Man in the Black Suit" and "Young Goodman Brown"

    “Even before he reached me, I recognized the aroma baking up from the skin under the suit--the smell of burned matches. The smell of sulfur. The man in the black suit was the Devil.” (King) A common theme among depictions of The Devil is that of unusual physical attributes. The Devil is depicted in three different stories (Joyce Carol Oates’ ‘Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?’, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s ‘Young Goodman Brown’, and Steven King’s ‘The Man In The Black Suit’) in three different ways, yet each description bares remarkable similarities in some aspects to the next. Themes common to the devil are that of his physical appearance or how he presents himself, his apparent supernatural powers or attributes, and his victimology.…

    The Devil and Tom Walker

    The story "The Devil and Tom Walker" is a story about a man who lives an immoral life of greed. Walker lives in a solemn, wooded, quiet area of New England. Walker runs into the devil and sees that the devil is cutting down someone else's timber. The evil is shown, by the devil in how he is premeditating the murder of "Deacon Peabody". Walker contemplates this meeting with the devil, and recognizes that wealth is the first priority for him. Tom Walker's wife was filled with greed and wanted to acquire the gold that the devil had promised. Walker hadn't obliged to his wife, and due to his wife's acute greediness set out on her own journey to acquire that gold. She had been killed because of her greed, and lack of morals for self-prosperity, which resulted in her death. This is an important example of the use of evil within "The Devil and Tom Walker". Walker is told from the devil that he could earn money through usury and extortion. Walker commits to usury and makes a generous sum of money. Walker has no repentance for such a sin and continues to his usury. The evil accumulates in the story as Walker accumulates more and more money, resulting from more and more greed. The accumulation of this money leads to a climactic point where Walker is fed up with his accumulation of money, and asks to be taken by the devil. Consequently, the devil "takes" Walker to hell. The evil is fluently represented by Walker "selling himself to the devil", and his inability to understand that material possessions couldn't be taken to the next world.…

    Essay On The Devil In The White City

    Life. In The Devil in the White City by: Erik Larson, Larson shows that no matter how important or insignificant, whoever you are, you will die and be forgotten. Defined by Merriam Webster as “The existence of an individual human or animal.” So by definition it’s simply your being. However, if you look at it from a slightly more poetic standpoint, life is so much more. Life is breathing in the crisp Autumn air, relaxing in a hot bath, dancing and singing along to your favorite song. Life, however, is fleeting. Any breath could be your last. Whether it’s on your 7th birthday or your 73rd Halloween, it ends. And for our lack of knowledge after death, that could be all your time in this universe. Be it 7 or 73 years, compared to the prospective…

    The Devil And Miss Prym Analysis

    In the novel “The Devil and Miss Prym,” it is stated that “Good and Evil have the same face; it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being.” This is true to some extent, but not in the way the author intends it. I maintain, from my experiences in the real world and from the book, that the concepts of good and evil do not necessarily have the same face, but good and evil people will certainly look the same as any other person. When evil crosses the path of the truly righteous, they will be proven righteous, and the same is true for the evil.…

    The Devil In The Modern World Analysis

    The religious concept of the Devil has faced numerous changes by society through different interpretations and representation to create new modernized ideas of what the Devil really is. This Devil originating from biblical teachings still holds value in society today, but it has also been changed to fit our own personal satisfying definitions that change from person to person, with many of these definitions sharing the same basic core beliefs. These different beliefs range from religious values, to cultural standards set by media outlets and everyday life. While researching texts written about past and present Christian-Devil relations and media extracts depicting the Devil in news lights, I found a relation between religious demonology, the…
