It caught my eye because I have read a lot about The Last Judgment and how it would look like when it happens. Another part of the painting that caught my eye is how the people and other objects are falling and are afloat in mid sky blue air. The painting is representational for the fact that it is representing the human kind from the dammed and the saved. In the center of the

I found the symposium very interesting. I thought that David Kotter made a very good point. He told us first that the battle is coming to us and that we should not be surprised when we deal with the issue of religious freedom‚ for in 1 Peter‚ it says to not be surprised WHEN we are faced with trails. The word “when” implies that it will happen‚ it’s just a matter of time. If he had said “if” then maybe there would or wouldn’t be trials. So we know by this wording that as a Christian and a follower

Just as a sculptor chisels away amorphous parts of marble‚ revealing a distinguishable form‚ so does David Reynolds sculpt the transformation of America to those unfamiliar with the events leading up to World War II. He whittles away an apparent formless generic history and makes sense of the events by exhuming certain concepts. For instance how President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped change the perspective of a reluctant United States to enter a war until the attack on Pearl Harbor. In addition‚
