    Helena Viramontes Under The Feet Of Jesus

    Throughout Under the Feet of Jesus by Helena Viramontes, the struggles of Estrella and her family have a sobering effect, demonstrating the hardships that migrant workers endure. Near the end of the novel, when Alejo was takin to the clinic and tended to by a nurse, Estrella has an epiphany, a defining moment. “Estrella had figured it out: the nurse owed them as much as they owed her." This revelation is in my opinion one of the most important aspects of the book.…

    N. T. Wright's Simply Jesus: Analysis

    In N.T. Wright’s book Simply Jesus, he tries to bring to light the character of Jesus, attempting to articulate both who he was, is, and his mission. He draws mostly from the gospels - though he borrows from other books as well - to paint this picture. Wright argues that the perception of Jesus has become muddled as culture and history have distanced themselves and confusion has ensued over the actions of Jesus, as they quite contradictory to general expectations. He calls for liberals and conservatives alike to quit arguing so as to come to agreement on what really matters, the facts rather than their interpretation. So much of the gospels could be described as symbolic, it is hard to understand with certainty…

    Character Analysis of Mary Anne "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong"

    It is a well known fact that experiencing war changes people; there is an innocence that is forever lost. In Tim O’Brian’s, “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong”, Mary Anne Bell is an unusual example of the innocence that is lost in war because unlike the rest of the soldiers, she is a woman. Mary Anne’s transformation from innocent “sweetheart” to fierce warrior left readers with mixed emotions because although Mary Anne felt at peace with her transformation, she was also disconnected from reality.…

    Mary Anne Bell Character Analysis

    It is a well known fact to all, that experiencing traumatic war events and sights that aren’t pleasant, changes people. There is an innocence that is forever lost. An innocence that can never be gained back. Change is inevitable. Change, in Mary Anne Bell’s case, is here to stay. It has its way of affecting each and every person it encounters. In the book The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, he incorporates an innocent city girl into the wild jungle of war in Vietnam; Mary Anne Bell. Because Mark Fossie decides to take a drastic measure and fly his girlfriend to Vietnam during one of the most brutal wars, she gains the soldier’s sympathy and soon becomes the “not so innocent blonde” new to the territory; she is simply an entirely renovated girl living in a whole new world.…

    Mary And Samaritan Analysis

    Luke’s theme is about new conversion and the rapid spread of Christianity, however, with the addition of the story of Mary and Martha it becomes confusing as to how this story fits in with the overall theme of the Gospel of Luke. However, Luke continues his theme with this story because he wants everyone to know the truth about Jesus. Jesus wanted Martha to stop doing the busywork and focus on the truth of Him and who He is. Before this passage, we have the story about the Good Samaritan who was there to help even when it was frowned upon socially. After this passage, we have where Jesus teaches about prayer. The passage about Mary and Martha go with the Good Samaritan story because Martha was doing what was expected by her culture and society, while Mary was going beyond it and sitting at the feet of Jesus.…

    Mary's Perpetual Virginity

    The Church has held Mary’s perpetual virginity as a dogma, and it is also true that it has brought about distrust and doubt. This skepticism towards Mary’s virginity has grown through out the history of man kind. At the very heart of this dogma lies the credence of the Church and of the Magisterium, who have the proficiency to maintain Mary’s perpetual virginity as an absolute truth. This upholding has perpetually led to the debate of whether Mary, Mother of Jesus, was in fact a virgin through out her entire life. Many see this affirmation as impossible, nonetheless the Church has always believed Mary remain a virgin “during childbirth and after childbirth.” Conversely many people do agree with this statement for the mere belief that the Bible…
