    The Godfather Film Summary

    In the movie The Godfather, Consigliere Tom Hagan captured the essence of my legal practice: “I have a special practice. I handle one client.” Basically, I run a small law firm of government attorneys that represent a single state-agency client. Specifically, I supervise a division of the West Virginia Attorney General’s Office that represents the State’s Department of Health and Human Resources in state and federal court and administrative tribunals. With five bureaus and over 5,000 employees, the Department is West Virginia’s largest state agency. And because it serves a vulnerable population, provides a broad number of social services, and annually receives billions of federal dollars, the Department frequently confronts complex and potentially very expensive legal issues. It is my job to see that those issues are resolved. In this position, I routinely interact with the Department’s cabinet secretary and her senior staff, as well as members of the Governor’s office. I also play a central role in the decision-making…

    The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving, and "The Man in the Black Suit" by Stephen King Comparison

    In "The Devil and Tom Walker," Tom Walker is a corrupted and greedy man, but, he is just a poor farmer who could only desire for that power and money. However, one day, the Devil appeared in front of him, willing to give him all that he desires in exchange for his soul. Tom with his already tainted soul, agreed, and lives a well lived life, having everything he ever wanted through the most desecrate way possible. "Tom was the universal friend of the needy, and he acted like a 'friend in need'...(however,) He accumulated bonds and mortgages; gradually squeezed his costumers closer and closer; and sent them at length, dry as a sponge from his door." He made money by deception, cheating people of lands, destroying homes, and taking over other's hard earned land. Yet towards the end of his life he still wishes to cleanse his sins by going to church, admitting god and praying, however this is once again due to his own selfishness. "Having secured the good things of this world, he began to feel anxious about those of the next. He thought with regret on the bargain he had made with his black friend, and set his wits to work to cheat him out of the conditions." After, all that Tom has did, he himself knew what would become of him and so out of his own selfishness, he tries to break the deal he made with the devil. Trying desperately to escape his fate, Tom continues to go to church and pray, even…

    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 Crucible Book 4 Analysis

    Satan’s soliloquy in Book 4 develops his character through self-reflection, elucidating his many complex characteristics and emotions. While Satan is portrayed as a rather humane protagonist thus far, his motives, beliefs, and fears are not explained and thus, only allowed for a one-dimensional interpretation. During Satan’s soliloquy in Book 4, however, he finally reflects upon himself, revealing his motives, fears, and doubts and thus, enriching his character.…

    Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? - Arnold Friend Analysis

    In many religions, the major representation of an evil spirit, ruler of Hell, and rival of God is of course the Devil. His power to distress humans both with physical sickness and with spiritual corruption is inexplicable. However, the idea of a man with such power and knowledge has been used in stories and films alike. In Joyce Carol Oates' short story, "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" Oates depicts Arnold Friend as the Devil; we can see this through his physical description, strange seduction, and his supernatural knowledge of Connie.…

    Godfather

    The segment of “The Godfather” shows the irony of the vows made by Michael Corleone and the murders he commits. The symbolism of Catholics and the belief of cleansing and the idea of baptism based on integrity shows irony of mafia and hypocrisy of people who kill go to church. The montage creates an intense situation that emphasises the irony of the mafia’s double life. This shows the audience the sense of belonging the mafia has towards the two different groups. When Michael is seen with the two different groups, it can be seen by the audience that there is tenser in the mafia group. Michael shows a difference in attitude when with family. However in the last scene the family is also portrayed very tense, this is after Michael kills his brother-in-law. The scenes in the church where the baby is being baptised and the murders juxtapose as it contradicts with the innocence of the baby and the mafia’s crimes.…

    Vineyard Movement Research Paper

    After understanding the heart of John Wimber, to get to the root of discovering the movement was from God; we must dive into the fruit of the movement. One of the first fruits that have been birthed out of the Vineyard Movement was their worship songs. In the 1990s the Vineyard church forever shaped modern contemporary Christian music. As reported in Christian Today: “The songs on the 'Come Now is the Time to Worship' (1998) and 'Hungry' (1999) albums, particularly their title songs, are some of the most well-known of the following decade (3)” It’s through this time of birthing songs the Vineyard became known as a church with great emotional response to their singing full of exuberant praise, dancing, crying, and wailing to the Lord. While…

    Universal Truth In Frankenstein

    Faustus, who is offered several opportunities to atone, yet repents only on his deathbed. Although Faustus considers returning to God several times throughout the play, his failure to do so until the moment of his death shows the extent of his arrogance. In the final act of the play, Faustus attempts to pledge himself to God, only to vacillate back to Lucifer within ten lines of dialogue. Faustus’s mercurialness and inability to commit to either deity represents that his true allegiance lies only with whomever appears the most rewarding in the current moment. Just before the hour of his death, Faustus proclaims, “Ah, my Christ/Ah, rend not my heart for naming of my Christ/Yet I will call on him, oh spare me Lucifer!” (Marlowe 5.2 72-74). Even in his attempts to repent, he still requests forgiveness from Lucifer, to whom he is bound. This further demonstrates the incredibly insincerity of any attempt Faustus makes to atone for his sins; rather, it makes obvious how selfish and remorseless he truly is. With these final lines, Marlowe cements the sheer repugnance present in Faustus, which Victor manages to avoid demonstrating in spite of his many…
