Sunday Bloody Sunday Analysis
"Sunday Bloody Sunday"
"Trenches dug within our hearts, And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart" -- Matthew 10:35: "For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."
"Wipe the tears from your eyes" -- Revelation 21:4: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes..."
"We eat and drink while tomorrow they die" A brilliant ironic take on I Cor 15:32 "If the dead are not raised, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." The "how long" cry is too frequent in the Bible to cover in full, but here are some prominent examples:
Ps 6:3 "My soul is in anguish. How long, O LORD, how long?" (This is the same line Bono says he used in "40," too.)
Ps 94:3 "How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked be jubilant?"
Habakkuk 1:2 "How long, O LORD, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not save?" (submitted by Rev. Beth) "

I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
How long...
How long must we sing this song
How long, how long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight...
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday,

    Benjamin Wadsworth's A Well-Ordered Family

    Concerning the duties of this relation we may assert a few things. It is their duty to dwell together with one another. Surely they should dwell together; if one house cannot hold them, surely they are not affected to each other as they should be. They should have a very great and tender love and affection to one another. This is plainly commanded by god. This duty of love is mutual; it should be performed b y each other, to each other. When, therefore, they quarrel or disagree, then they do the Devil’s work; he is please at it, glad of it. But such contention provokes God; it dishonors Him; it is a vile example before inferiors in the family; it tends to…

    Summary Of The Colfax Massacre On Easter Sunday

    Lemann begins his historical narrative with a depiction of the Colfax Massacre on Easter Sunday in 1873 to emphasize the significance that violence and terror had on blacks and the Reconstruction effort. “Colfax was part of an experiment, a new Louisiana that would resemble the abolitionists’ prewar dream of how the South should be after its defeat in the Civil War” states Lemann in the prologue where he explains that Colfax was a settlement where hundreds of blacks had fled to because they were afraid of the white terrorist groups that were beginning to spread throughout the south. On Easter Sunday of the year 1873, Colfax was attacked by Columbus Nash, a Democratic sheriff, and his company of some two or three hundred volunteers in response…

    Bloody Sunday Analysis

    Bloody Sunday (Greengrass, 2001) shows the story of the peaceful march incident on 30 January 1972. In Blaney’s essay, she states Bloody Sunday presents itself as a counterfeit document. The main reason of her statement is that, Bloody Sunday specifies itself to viewers as a docudrama style film. In order to make Bloody Sunday a counterfeit document, Greengrass replicates the real footages and iconographic photographs. Photograph is a frozen moment without story however in Bloody Sunday, the Greengrass injects time to particular iconographic photographs such as the moment of the marching crowd or the moment of the father waving white and bloody handkerchief as a peaceful…

    Every Sunday Film Analysis

    more about the public image that they worried about. To make profit, the people being put on display have to look attractive enough to guarantee their movie sells. At 13 years old, however, Judy signed over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as one of their few child stars and they didn’t know what to do with her. In fact, MGM was in a similar predicament with another child star around Judy’s age, Deanna Durbin, who had an exceptional voice, albeit more operatic. The studio even filmed the two girls in the musical short titled Every Sunday in 1936 as a “screen test” to help decide which one of the girls they wanted to keep by comparing their voices side by side to an audience (Clarke, 73). According to Judy in a Jack Parr interview, they were…

    Prophecy Of Habakkuk

    "The story of Habakkuk was composed during the time of the Great Babylonian victory at Carchemish and Nebuchadnezzar's invasion of Judah" (Harris 332). It was written between the years of about 600 and 587B.C.E. "Habakkuk was a cult prophet; he raised doubts about divine justice and God's treatment of the wicked" (Jerome 261). "These were hard times for Habakkuk's people. It was times of war in which his people were being invaded by the Assyrians, during the kingdom of Judah". "The interesting thing about the eighth minor prophet Habakkuk is that he is the only prophet to ask God WHY". "All his questions start with why except his first question "How long oh lord" (Wigoder 245). "The musical form of the prayer in chapter…

    Habakkuk Analysis

    In Habakkuk, one aspect of God is he is a just God. He punishes people for their sins and wrong doing. Even if it might seem like they are not going to be punished he does so in His own time. Another key aspect of God is that he is patient. Habakkuk begins the book by questioning God. He asks why God is letting him face evil without doing anything about it. God does not get angry over these accusations, but instead he gives some type of answer explaining why he does what he does. God tells Habakkuk that the righteous live by faith and this is how Habakkuk and everyone should live.…
