Abbot

written by Brian Jacques, is pure bliss when reading. Although Redwall is a fantasy book, it portrays a rather medieval age feeling; and Brian Jacques is able to instantly set this with his archaic vocabulary. The main characters of this book include: Abbot Mortimer, Asmodeus Poisonteeth, Basil Stag Hare, Cluny the Scourge and his horde, Methuselah, and Matthias(all of the characters in Redwall are anthropomorphic animals-- they act and communicate like humans). Redwall is a book about Matthias…

In my own view, Dudley and Stephens did not act ethically. They killed Parker based on the fact that he was an orphan and had no family to go back home to. Therefore, Parker unlike the rest had nothing to lose and this was unjustifiable. Since he was weak and frail from consuming sea water he was going to die but could possibly have fought for his life for the next four days till they were rescued. Instead, Dudley and Stephens took it upon themselves to end the poor boys life anyway. According…

Nevertheless if you think again the violent terrorism acts can also built an unwanted question about Muslims and their belief. “According to the Quran” this is said as if that particular person clearly has knowledge of the Quran and then he is able to comment “they preach hate”. Therefore it just proves that terrorism has built this deadly lie in some people’s mind that it is unfortunately hard to remove. But Quran never provides with such teachings, then why this mess? Again in my opinion it…

Title Conversion, in the early medieval Christian world, was a powerful tool for not only expanding Christianity, but also for expanding imperial authority. In the sixth century, Pope Gregory I, or Gregory the Great, cemented his legacy for conversion by creating the first papal mission of any pagan people in Anglo-Saxon Britain. While Christianity had visited the island briefly, during the Roman occupation, the Anglo-Saxon’s and their paganism dominated the religious sphere on the island in…

As a worshipper of the 13th century approached Basilica St Denis, a gothic style cathedral, they would find various architectural updates that Abbott Suger hoped would inspire enhanced divinity. First a visitor arriving would take in the exterior of the church where their focus would be drawn to the heavens by the awe inspiring height achieved in the design. This height was made possible by the inclusion of the byzantine style flying buttresses. The flying buttress is support that looks like a…

Both Dojoji and Hamlet showcase some of the major differences between Asian and Western thought and customs. The first text, of Japanese origin, places a meaningful emphasis on religious imagery. The play uses the images of dragons, rosaries, a bell, and cherry-blossom trees several times during its relatively short duration. On the other hand, Hamlet shows diverse Christian themes, present in Ophelia’s burial, the words uttered by Hamlet’s father’s ghost, and in some of Hamlet’s thoughts.…

He became the abbot of a monastery in Subiaco, where he identified that the monk had diverse manners and rarely agreed on specific situations eventually leading him to be poisoned. Many individuals interested in his teachings during the time would see him and this lead…

an important role to our ecosystem by helping cleanse ocean water and regulate biodiversity. By palpitating, they fill their giant bells with water and digest agricultural waste out of the ocean, which makes the ocean cleaner. According to Billie Abbot, jellyfish are carnivorous and feed mostly on zooplankton, comb jellies and other jellyfish. As well as, eating copepods (which eat phytoplankton and then excrete toxins into the water), fish eggs, and larvae jellyfish help regulate biodiversity.…

hostile to Christianity (p.20). Every institution is affected by the culture in which it lives, especially the culture in which it is born. The church before the modern period was organized hierarchically that had many worldly powers, like bishops and abbots, and these powerful figures had their own feudal…
