    “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” -Mohandas Gandhi The world can be a very unfriendly place. Not everyone has good intentions at heart and not everyone wants to do “good.” On the contrary‚ there are many good people who make a mistake every now and then. That person is not a bad person‚ it is just part of our human nature. An ugly aspect of the human race is the act of revenge. Revenge occurs because of the inability to forgive. We‚ as humans‚ often lack the virtue of forgiveness

    In Ancient Greece the existence of gods and fate prevailed. In the Greek tragedy King Oedipus by the playwright Sophocles these topics are heavily involved. We receive a clear insight into their roles in the play such as they both control man ’s actions and that challenging their authority leads to a fall. The concepts of the gods and fate were created to explain things. In Ancient Greece there was a lot that was not understood; science was in its infancy and everything that happened could be

    Introduction To some‚ it is a story of judgment and condemnation. Others see it as a story of grace‚ restoration‚ and hope.

    kingdom of God‚ a real physical world or a place that is only seen in ones hearts. Some would say it to be a place above man‚ built by God to be a home for peoples’ souls after death. Others might say that it is no more than a place inside us that can only be reached through the right decisions and acts of kindness. A place that is not seen or discussed but only felt in a way that is incomparable to any feeling ever felt by the living. Yet while people retain their own images of the Kingdom of God the Bible

    Elie has been a follower of God ever since he was brought into this world‚ and truthfully I cannot imagine him ever giving up hope in his God. I would have to say probably the only thing in the world that could have ever managed to make Elie even doubt his God one bit would be the holocaust. It would be understandable because throught the entire novel he is faced with many ’obsticles’ that would have easily made anyone turn their backs on God. Elie is a different case though‚ from a young age starting
