The theme‚ on the surface level‚ appears very simple; but going into the deeper the reader will find that the poem is founded on the diverse European idealistic‚ psychological‚ religious/mystical and philosophical doctrines in the western culture. On the socio-cultural level‚ the poem can be

In the poem‚ The Retreat‚ the author expresses a longing for the angelic innocence he once had as a child before being corrupted by the harsh realities of the world. The variation of past and present has a significant impact on the evaluation he is making based upon his life.

In the imagery and tone used in the poem‚ Vaughn

After reading the article on page 169 I believe that “duty to retreat” laws are not outdated because people today should still not be allowed to participate in any violence if they find themselves in a situation where there are alternative methods that can be used instead of reacting violently. In today’s society I personally feel that people should rely on technology more than violence. Technology is universal and can be used in many different ways to help in these different types of situations

Last March 4-5‚ 2011‚ I had my retreat at the Capuchin Retreat Center at Lipa‚ Batangas. I treated it as a mini or short vacation from my busy and stressful everyday school life. Well‚ that was my initial take on my retreat day until I finally came to the realizations the recollection had offered me during my time there. It wasn’t just a vacation. It was a time for me to be able to take a break from my usual life and take a step back to take a look at where I am at the moment and where I want to

September 6-7 2012 was the days that we were going to change our attitude and begin a new life. What is Retreat all about? For me‚ a Retreat is one activity that can make you realize everything that has happened to your life from your relationship with your family‚ to your friends and most of all to our Savior‚ our God. We should leave behind our own problems so that we can focus and have our full attention on the different activities that they have prepared. It is also a day to think about your

The Chapel on the Hill and the “Labyrinth” . One ’side trip’ I had to Punta Fuego was the Chapel on the Hill in Don Bosco‚ Batulao‚ Batangas (also known as the Mary Help of Christians Center of Spirituality).

*SPLASH* all wet. The first night of the retreat began. It was a mid-night water balloon fight‚ a childhood experience; something I could not and probably would not do as an adult. It was very exciting; we could get caught any moment. The war was against the boys. A Jr. high retreat tradition we began‚ and it all started when Stephen flicked rice on Jessica. My friends and I got angry and discussed what to do with Stephen‚ and we decided to let him off this time. Suddenly‚ the doorbell rang.

As the high school class president‚ I read this farewell speech during the NMA Con Brio graduation day last April 1‚ 2007 at the Negros Occidental Convention Center. I saw this crumpled paper containing the speech in one of my boxes while cleaning my "dungeon". I tried to read it again and thought of how lame this speech was. Back then‚ I really thought that all of the words I constructed in this speech were perfect. The perspective that I know have was really different. The elements in this speech

How accurate is it to describe soviet social policy in the 1930s as a ‘Great Retreat’?

Many describe his soviet social policy during the 1930s as a ‘Great Retreat’‚ it was named this as his policies saw a return to earlier social policies under
