project I am going to be comparing the famous jazz compositions‚ “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck and “C-Jam Blues” by Duke Ellington. Both pieces were chart-topping and achieved incredible mainstream success‚ with “Take Five” becoming the biggest selling jazz single ever (Sarabia‚ 2000). Over the next few pages I will be analysing each song in detail as well as looking at how these songs helped to define jazz. Take Five Take Five was written by Dave Brubeck in

In A Grief Observed‚ by C.S. Lewis‚ I was profoundly affected by the spiral of emotion that Lewis was afflicted with after the loss of H. Not only is C.S. Lewis angry at god‚ but over the course of the book he comes to terms with his pain. That god has not forsaken him and is not a cruel being‚ but instead has knocked down his house of cards showing him who he really is. This eye-opening book really observes grief down to its darkest moment. Something that we rarely get the chance to peak into in

RIGHT AND WRONG AS A CLUE TO THE MEANING OF THE UNIVERSE C.S. Lewis has presented many intriguing ideas in regards to how right and wrong relate to the universe. The moral law is a genuine thing‚ whether we agree with it or not. Lewis presents there is an absolute good and an absolute bad within the laws of human nature. As human beings‚ we tend to have a great deal of trouble interpreting our own selves. Within Mere Christianity‚ C.S. Lewis provides me with useful insight to help me understand

C.S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce is a work that showcases the many patterns of denial and rejection that people use to avoid giving their lives to God. Lewis attempts to show the difference between heaven and hell. He does not do this in the literal sense of the places where humanity will be going in eternity. Rather‚ he embodies the figurative sense of heaven and hell which people experience on earth. He focuses on the importance of our earthly decisions in the balance of not only how we spend eternity

In “Mere Christianity”‚ C.S Lewis describes how hard it is to be a good Christian in his statement “now we cannot‚ in that sense‚ discover our failure to keep God’s law except by trying our very hardest (and then failing)” (265). In this statement‚ Lewis is arguing that struggling to be good and having faith in religion takes a tremendous amount of willpower. Faith in religion takes conscious effort because it can become difficult to hold onto faith over time. I can relate this to my own personal

The topic of suffering probably is the hardest for me to bear as a Christian‚ because it is the result of evil in the world‚ and since God’s allowance of evil is hard to explain‚ it is an atheist’ best argument against Christian faith. My views on why God allows suffering are based on C.S. Lewis’ book “The Problem of Pain”. Lewis’ thoughts basically show that there is sufficient evidence that God is real and that pain exists because the all-powerful God created creatures that aren’t happy. Since
