Puritans believed that God knows all that has happened‚ is happening‚ and will happen. So everything‚ including salvation and damnation‚ is already preordained; God chose who would be saved and welcomed into heaven.

Video Reaction Paper #1: The Miracle Worker: Helen Keller This movie gave me a small insight about how deaf/ blind people were treated back in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Schindler’s List Reaction Paper Schindler’s List has been argued as Steven Spielberg’s greatest film. The truth is that this movie was Spielberg’s masterpiece as a director. I have seen Schindler’s List three times to date‚ and every time I watch it‚ it gets better.

This movie is not just a movie‚ but also a documentary delving

Reaction Paper on Revolution OS A really great movie and very approachable. It helped me in understanding the real meaning of open source. Before I thought that Open Source means that the software is for free and it kept me wondering how software companies would benefit from it. After watching the movie I clearly understand that Open Source software is not purely for free.
