    Aztec Sacrifices

Types of sacrifices included, being shot with arrows, drowned, burned, mutilated but the most well-known was when the heart was removed from the victim chest.

The priest would use an instrument called the “Holy Knife”, and use it specifically to cut open the chest of sacrificial victims. In summary, many…

    Sacrifice: Research Paper

    Sacrifice has played a crucial role since the dawn of time. Every culture, society, and denomination has used some aspect of sacrifice in the way they either live their daily lives or who and or what they praise. Merriam Webster’s Dictionary definition of sacrifice is an act of offering to a deity something precious; especially: the killing of a victim on an altar. It’s been written in textbooks and historical novels for centuries that different cultures specifically had blood offerings, whether it is to the sun which they worshiped, or to the “god” they believed in. Even in the Bible it states that God sacrificed his only Son. In present day society, Americans especially sacrifice on a daily basis, just maybe not to the extremes of previous humans. With the rise of the red scare around the world, the ideas of socialism and communism deep-rooted themselves into the minds of many great American literature authors. With an over-lying theme of sacrifice, and an influence from socialism, communism, and puritan New England, evolved stories such as The Lottery by Shirley Jackson, Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and The Crucible by Arthur Miller. These three great American classics deal, either directly or indirectly, with the theme and influences listed previously. When looked at on a broader spectrum, each piece seems to hold an entirely different concept than any of the others, but when broken down and searched deeper, it is clear to any logical reader that these three pieces and three authors used their knowledge and skill of language and writing. In such ways that they expressed both their views and their reality’s upon their current and future audience; their works stay alive after years of publication and they allow the mind of the reader to wander and ponder on their message of truth and imagination.…

    Short Story John London

    Leaving a sick member of the family to die alone in a harsh environment may seem cruel to the more civilized peoples of the world, but to the native tribe of Koskoosh, inured by times of great famine and constant struggle with wind and snow, such custom is not only imperative, but an act of kindness: a man who has outlived his usefulness does not have to endure the humiliation of being a burden to his kin, who are themselves struggling to survive. In his final moments, the old man remembers a moose that fought off wolves until it was overpowered and fell on the bloody snow. That recollection is a foreshadowing of his own death: wolves are closing in on him as his small fire is almost extinguished. But unlike the moose which fights to the very end, Koskoosh calmly awaits the inevitable…
