These reading were very good and shows that being a Christian is more than just a title we wear above our heads‚ but rather a title as well as responsibility we are to be obedient to. Thinking about this reminded me of our mission trip to the DR where I wrote a life statement‚ “To live a life showing a genuine love for others as Christ loved me. To live an authentic day to day life demonstrating an authentic representation of who I am in Christ‚ because He has given me everything I need and have

What does it mean to be human? What makes who we are? What drives us? Could it be the desire of becoming better‚ faster‚ and stronger‚ perhaps? All throughout history‚ humans have been known to have advanced in their respective eras through planning and their own advancements in technology. Technology is one of the many things that people in the 21st century debate about‚ whether it’s good or bad‚ or even neutral. Why do so many disagree with the idea of becoming better through the advances in technology

Symbolism is the primary device that Blake uses to provide deeper meaning to the poem by its contributions to the tone and theme of the poem. It is a lyric poem that expresses Blake’s awe over the might and ferocity of the “Tyger.” The poem is primarily about a “Tyger” with its intense and frightening aspects‚ and Blake’s awestruck questions for the “Tyger.” For example‚ he asks‚ “What immortal hand or eye dare frame thy fearful symmetry?” (24). This poem is twenty-four

however‚ in the sonnet “Ozymandias”‚ even the legacy of a powerful king is proven otherwise by the test of time. In the poem‚ the narrator describes a tourist who encountered a collapsed statue found in the middle of a desert. A plaque remains as well dedicated to Ozymandias‚ also known as Ramses II of Egypt‚ proclaiming that all who gaze upon his works must despair. However‚ there were no accomplishments that seemed to be present and the collapsed statue acts as the only reminder to Ozymandias’s

people in the public eye do their job well it does not matter what they do in private. I do not totally agree with this statement. The term ‘people in the public eye’ are too general a term. Politicians‚ celebrities and many others are all part of the ‘people in the public eye’. Even though everyone is entitled to their own privacy‚ as ‘people in the public eye’‚ they ought to be more mindful of their behaviour in public‚ and of course‚ in private. Firstly‚ what they do in private may impact their

It’s about American ignorance‚ the inability to help those in need‚ the true meaning of humanity and whether we‚ as a population‚ are capable to break down barriers and walls that we‚ ourselves‚ have constructed

What various things does the pearl symbolize‚ what does it mean to Kino at different stages of the novel‚ and what does it mean to different members of the community? These questions are what the author didn’t really intend to give us a straight answer to in the novel but instead makes us readers find out on our own. The pearl is a valuable item indeed but it is far from symbolizing wealth to me. The pearl in fact symbolizes corruption and hope to me‚ to Kino it symbolizes opportunity in the beginning

What does it mean to Learn? Learning is an incredibly complex process that does not have a clearly defined biochemical or physiological mechanism of action. I suspect if you asked a cohort people what it means to learn you would get many divergent‚ yet similar definitions. In my opinion learning can be many things: instant‚ gradual‚ external‚ or internal. Yet beneath these straightforward criterion there is one unifying principle about learning –it results in an intrinsic change in a subject. Once
