It would be convenient if I could mesh together the Bible and the Koran. It would be convenient if I could say that the God of the Bible is the same God of the Koran. There would be a lot less tension on both sides for some. I simply cannot say that to be true. Through my research on both sides I am convinced that the God of the Bible is not the same God of the Koran. People have worshipped gods since human existence began, but to say that Allah is the same God as Yahweh Elohim of the Bible is…

In today’s world its wrong but not till long ago for the Chinese people it was a way to live and normal. Woman couldn’t go to war and no way could they repay their mistake if they did. Projecting and keeping a good name of the family is extremely important and if was broken that person would be persecuted or simply banished by his/her own family. It also shows that woman are not weak and anyone can do what men can do and that we should let woman be more free. Even…

Discuss your reaction to Feuerbach 's ideas about religion (pages 360-362). I found Feuerbach’s ideas about religion very strange to me, because I am a very religious person and I believe that God created all of us, not the other way around. As Feuerbach explains it he believes that, us humans, created the image of God in our minds. I agree with him to a certain extent when he talks about how we are divided into two selves. The two selves that make up our actually selves are- the way we are-…

When Waverly was born, Lindo wanted her to have an American name. So she named her Waverly. “We lived on Waverly Place” (90). From this quote you can conclude that she was named after the town she lived in. All Lindo wanted from the start was for her daughter to live a nice American life. But, when Waverly started…

and the name change game, most people have a solid opinion. Most have such a solid opinion, in fact, that they never question it. They don’t wonder if they’re going to take their spouse’s name or not when they get married. They already know their correct answer. They don’t wonder if they’re going to lose their spouse’s name or not if it comes to divorce. They already know their correct answer. Yet, even those who have never questioned what the “right” thing to do with their “married name” in the…

including the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) and Uzi Nissan having purchased the rights to the domain names in a timely manner and without hindrance at the time of purchase, the court’s rulings were generally fair. Because of the ACPA, Nissan Motor Company (NMC) had a valid case against Nissan Computer Corp. (NCC). Due to timely purchasing of domains reflecting a family name, Uzi Nissan deserved to win the case. However, I believe it was unfair to say that Mr. Nissan was…

In many instances throughout the short story “Wisdom of the New” readers could imagine Mrs. Spring Fragrance getting involved in the development of the story. For instance, Mrs. Spring Fragrance could be added to the story shortly after Pau Lin and Yen arrive in America. Pau Lin is frightened of her family’s future in this new country and is unsure how to act and respond to situations. If Mrs. Spring Fragrance were to talk to Pau Lin during this time, she would try to make her feel less…

All The Lights I clench my fist tightly. Twenty-one blinking faces stare me down. I look down at my paper, feeling tears rising from wherever tears come from to the corners of my eyes. I blink them back. “Dormant breathing, constant searching, I am alert…..” I stumble over the last words in my poem, the class courteously claps, and I shuffle to my seat in one sweeping motion. We had been assigned to write a poem on our perception of current events in the world. Writing the poem was fairly…

‘Two Kinds’ is portrayal of difficulties in mother-daughter relationships in San Francisco’s China-town. The focus of the story is the often troublesome but unavoidable “interval between mothers who were born in China before the communist revolution and thus have been cut off from their native culture for decades, and their American-born daughters who must find a way to work through the twin burdens of their Chinese ancestry and American expectations for success”. While the protagonist and…
