    In Helena Maria Viramontes’ Under the Feet of Jesus, she uses selection of detail, figurative language and tone in order to describe how Estrella’s character develops over time,and through learning new things. The author uses selection of detail in order to describe Estrella’s development as a character. How she does so is by first stating that she “hated when things were kept from her.” She clearly does not like things that she cannot understand, she feels hatred towards the tool box because she does not understand or know what the tools in there are called or what they’re used for, “the funny shaped objects, seemed as confusing and foreign as the alphabet she could not decipher.”…

    St. Helena and the Emperor Constantine Presented to the Holy Trinity by the Virgin Mary was the piece of art work that stuck out to me the most which made me choose to write my analysis essay on this amazing well thought out art work.

Just by looking at this piece of art you can tell there is so much emotion and knowledge behind making this painting. From observing this work, it made me want to know more about what exactly is trying to be captured through a picture instead of the use of words.

    The goal of this document is the analytical breakdown of Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston’s book titled Farewell to Manzanar. The book is a recollection of her time at an internment camp called ‘Manzanar’ when she was a child along with a few excerpts to give depth to some of the events that took place. As noted in the p.s before the book begins, she and her husband decided to write the story of what life was like in the internment camps and not focussing on the overall scheme of how “an injustice was done.” (Wakatsuki Houston, Foreward) since many were already in agreement on that matter and the topic considered old and tired. The focus of this paper will be on how the events affected her childhood, broke her family, emphasized her ethnicity, and…

    This passage is found towards the end of "A New England Nun" written by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and describes the main protagonist, Louisa, and her complacency with her solitary, ritualistic lifestyle as opposed to marrying her disruptive and unfaithful partner that she had been engaged with for 14 years. Throughout the story, a routine of common domestic work and chores are done daily, similar to a nun's simplistic habitual schedule, which most likely consists of prayer and other Catholic church duties. The quote references to a scene from the bible and describes Louisa as having a birthright as well. Firstly, a birthright is "any right or privilege to which a person is entitled by birth" ("birthright", Dictionary.com). In history and seen today by the British royal family, it is described and taught as the firstborn son's right to succeed the throne and uphold the crown.…

    “The Privilege of Poverty” is Joan Mueller’s attempt to reincorporate the women of the Franciscan Order and the role they played during their medieval time back into the early Franciscan history that is often written without any mention of them. Joan Mueller seeks to correct that problematic gap, lacking women’s voices and experiences, in the historiography of the early Franciscan movement. To accomplish this goal, she focuses on the history of the Franciscan Rule of St. Clare which was finally approved in 1253, only two days before she died. The encompassing theme of the book is the insistence on the “Privilege of Poverty” by Clare of Assisi and the women of St. Francis that was finally granted to them one day before with Clare's death…

    Throughout time, religious experiences have been used as the foundation of religious beliefs. However, there has been much debate within the philosophical community as to whether these experiences are authoritative and can be trusted as reliable primary sources. For the purpose of this paper, I will define a religious experience as the sudden sensation of a mystical entity. This type of experience occurs frequently and is easier to defend than the traditional religious experience of seeing the face of God. One primary reason for the reluctance to accept religious experiences as evidence of God’s existence is that they do not seem to tell a coherent story.…
