Son of God is the best title for Jesus.’ Agree Son of God is straightforward / it is in Mark 1:1 / what the Christians believed and what Mark’s Gospel describes Jesus as / the Chief Priest asked him if he was Son of the Blessed One at the trial and Jesus answered‚ ‘I am.’ / Psalm 2 may be referred to here by some students / described as this at the baptism / transfiguration / immediately after Jesus died / declared Son of God by demon possessed people / declaration of faith when it is used / not

alike‚ they are most definitely not. Kate Keller of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons and Gertrude of Shakespeare’s Hamlet are both very different characters who share but very few similarities throughout the two plays. Ones knowing of their partner’s crime committed‚ one’s action of lying‚ and their different levels of intelligence‚ all prove that the two women are both different. Incorporated in both Hamlet and All My Sons‚ are mysteries. In Hamlet of course‚ is the mystery of Hamlet’s father’s death

poem "On my first son" Ben Jonson uses powerful diction and language to convey his emotions of anger and despair. These emotions which he feels as a Father over the loss of his son makes him question his faith in his maker. In the first stanza Jonson conveys his sense of loss by using its diction and language.

The play All My Sons‚ written by Arthur Miller‚ contains many strong themes. The focus of the play‚ however‚ is the inescapable past‚ denial and blame amongst characters.

All My Sons is a play about the past. Many characters are dealing

All My Sons: Like or Dislike? "All My Sons" by Arthur Miller is one of the first dramatic plays or stories that I have read and truly enjoyed. Written and set in 1947‚ I wasn ’t sure what to expect but as I began reading‚ it became quite the page turner. Arthur Miller‚ being a prominent figure in American theater and playwright‚ has a unique style of writing that seems to capture all aspects of a good story in a manner that ’s not only easy to read but also quite intriguing.1 In this play in

JEWS AND DOGS NOT ALLOWED If I were to base my opinion of Jewish people solely on Mordechai Richler’s "Son of a Smaller Hero"‚ I would probably start wearing a Swastika on my arm and pledging my allegiance to the fuehrer. Richler characterizes Jews as a people who have an enormous lust for money‚ women‚ and power. Richler delivers a piece that seems the complete antithesis of his origional novel. While he crammed his former novel with soft-spoken words‚ which displayed his passion to inform on useful
