Why Does Nettie Have A Place In This Chapter
This is a very interesting phrase that described Nettie’s situation perhaps better than anything to this point. Walker does a fantastic job executing this phrase and embedding it within the chapter. It gets readers thinking deeply about the place of Christ in such a situation or even if he has a place at all. This is an intriguing idea and very well placed in the novel. It also connects to the later discussion of the place and vision of God.

    The Screwtape Letters Ch. 2

    This chapter also helped me realize that I am easily distracted whenever I’m at church. For example Screwtape says “provided that his neighbor sings out of tune or has squeaky boots or double chins….” I was really surprised as I was reading because I always stare at people’s shoes and I am easily distracted by obese people. I think it is very wrong to judge people based on their appearance so this part of the chapter really made me realize that I should be focusing on what the preacher is saying instead of focusing on the appearance of other people.…

    Paradox Of Assimilation In Toni Morrison's Beloved

    This plot line alludes to God’s love for his children in the Garden of Eden, referenced in the best known Biblical story. When being repeatedly tormented by the spirit of Beloved, Denver remarks that “for a baby she throws a powerful spell” in annoyance, but Sethe replies that Beloved’s haunting is “no more powerful” than the way Sethe “loved her," exemplifying the strong sense of maternal love Sethe feels for Beloved (5). This strong sense of love is later criticized by Paul D when he hears of how Beloved died. He remarks that her “love is too thick” and that it hinders her from living. But Sethe responds that “thin love ain’t love at all," reminding us of the allusion to God’s love in the Garden of Eden (5). Another drastic example of Sethe’s love is when Beloved begins to consume Sethe, who was unable to wear an article of clothing “that didn't sag on her," whilst Beloved “was getting bigger, plumper by the day” (281). This sacrifice is an allusion to God expressing his love for all of his children, by letting his son, Jesus Christ, die for our sins; Therefore, in many ways, Sethe is atoning for her sins, acting as a Christian, but also loving beyond natural limits, acting as God. Morrison infused her knowledge of the Bible and irony into her work to strike her readers with the stark similarities of slavery and the dangers of early…

    Hero's Journey By Catherine

    Catherine, book is an outward expression of her love for God and an expression a dialogue that expressed her uniqueness. She exhibited a hungry and thirst for God throughout her conversation with Him. No matter what, she could see God, high and lifted up. She explores the layering of her relationship through self- knowledge, love, and prayer in this relationship with God. “ Catherine, book is an example of how God desires to express His-self unto us as believers, in this intimate conversation. Her writing assures the believer that God has a love for us that should be sealed until we return unto Him. As written in 1 John 4:9-10 - This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son, for our atoning sacrifice for our sins.” This awesome love affair exhibits who we are to the very core of our…

    Book Summary: The Shack By William P. Young

    Seeing the whole picture is key here in this book, though on the other hand, it isn’t the theme of the book exactly. Despite what many others may often believe, the theme of the book goes much deeper into what we can comprehend. It’s more throughout the purpose of coming back to God not only in the midst of our, as I mention it again, “Great Sadness”, but also in our joyful times as well. We need both in order to have Him all the time in our lives. So all in all it’s that when you are going through something joyous or depressing of nature, you must let God in as shown…

    Gospel Of Mark Analysis

    Gundry indicates that this verse is also indicative of Jesus’ growing reputation, as the woman has faith in Jesus from just hearing what he has done for others, and especially because of all the failed attempts at healing she has encountered. However, as this woman is someone looked down upon in society and perhaps an outcast, she behaves in this way because she knows that it would have been disrespectful of her, someone ritually unclean, to touch or associate with someone who is presumably clean. By not approaching and speaking to Jesus about her disease because of societal boundaries, she tries to receive healing by touching Jesus’ cloak without anybody knowing. Her faith and trust is shown here, as she intentionally takes the risk of crossing social and society boundaries, believing that Jesus does have the power to heal…
