Maria In A Christian Worldview

Improved Essays
The third character is Maria who is Jessica and Marco’s Aunt. In the scenario, Maria is exhibiting a Modern Western and a Christian Worldview. A Modern Western worldview is influenced by not only dualism but also Christianity (Shelly et al., 2006). Maria in the last two sentences in the scenario is pointing out to Jessica that there is a hard line between following God’s teaching (good) and doing what one wants (evil). A Christian worldview is centered around God’s teachings and that humans are God’s children because humankind was made in his image (Shelly et al., 2006). The three indications that Maria holds a Christian Worldview are involving the priest, praying, and making sure to let Jessica know her responsibilities as a Christian

    Comparing the main characters in Flannery O'Connor's short stories, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" and "Revelation," I am surprised about how the Grandmother and Mrs. Turpin are similar. In the story "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," the Grandmother enjoys talking and she never stops raging at her son “Bailey” or giving her judgment on to others, Irrespective of their interest or not. Mrs. Turpin in the story "Revelation" also talks a lot too. At the doctor's office, she has something to say about African Americans, and she is not generous either.…

    The Dangers of being Certain Though doubt has always held a negative connotation in my mind, a dark shadow that looms over certainty, truth, and progress, John Patrick Shanley, through his film, not only claims but makes us feel quite the opposite: that doubt is in fact a valuable asset in gaining an objective view when determining “good” from “bad” and discovering the truth. Stanley utilises the two main characters in his film to depict the dangers of acting upon certainty without doubt. I will be exploring two research questions within my reflection: “How does relative societal rules define what is good and bad?” and “To what degree does self interest drive us to be bad?” through the comparison of the the two main characters Sister Aloysius…

    Media Review Three In his article, Jason Diamond shares one of Flannery O’Connor’s prayers, which she wrote during her stay at the University of Iowa anywhere between 1946-1947 when she experiences doubt in her writing capabilities (Diamond 3). In these prayers, Diamond says that O’Connor “wrote her thoughts and prayers, displaying the same kind of self-doubt we see in so many writers today, but balanced with an unwavering faith…” (Diamond 3). Although Diamond agrees that O’Connor’s works seem “dark” and her style reflects “Southern Gothic fiction”, he explains that she was “a deeply spiritual person…[whose] faith is embedded throughout her work” (Diamond 2).…
