Poe’s genius writing is shown in “A Cask of Amontillado and “The Tell-Tale Heart”. However, “The Tell-Tale Heart left me agape at the end of the story. Now, I’m going to share with you the best short story I have ever read. I loved the old man, said the narrator, right before he decided to kill him. The narrator had set his mind on killing him, because he hated the…

The Portrayal of Love in Steven Schutzman’s The Bank Robbery Love is arguably one of the most complex feelings in the world. In the Greek language, there are four words for love; agape, storgē, phili and eros. The Japanese language has three words to illustrate love. Both languages use these different words to explain a different type of love and its effects. In modern English, the world love is used for various depths of admiration.

Friendship and Hope: Hospitality and New Solidarity Doing theology comparatively together is inviting us to live with the avoidable tension between “the commitment to the Christian tradition” and “openness to the truths of non-Christian religions.” The tension creates a double commitment when doing theology comparatively. We need to go beyond religious tolerance to take the steps interreligious engagement in order to build a deeper interreligious friendship and bring new hope in hospitality…

A person is not born; instead, they are made with time. As mentioned in class, psychologists would agree with this as persons are ethical and moral objects. As such, the development of Homo sapiens into ethonomous, moral persons must coincide with aging, cultural or religious influence and development of mental processes. Therefore, this essay will attempt to organize the actualization of personhood with the natural life stages of Homo sapiens. The development will track human beings as they…

“Different does not mean deficient”, these wise words were said by Reverend Dr.Jeremiah Wright in his interview. The foundation for the injustices done to black people that have taken place in America transpired due to hate; and this hate stems from one major factor: being different. In their interviews, Dr.Wright and James Cone mentioned and elaborated on a lot of topics that, in my opinion, need to be discussed more often instead of what Kim Kardashian is doing in her life. Too often we find…

Throughout time, religion, race and creed, man has been answering the question of loneliness throughout their life, and have always craved to “overcome separateness, how to achieve union, how to transcend one’s own individual life and find atonement”. However, many attempts to fill the void in our heats by our ancestors have failed to do so, as they…

Immediately in the first chapter, Telchin captured my attention with his testimony of the opposition he encountered after accepting Yeshua. Once it was known in the Jewish community that he had received Yeshua, Telchin was immediately pegged as an outsider. He was no longer one of “them”. He details an example of the “us” versus “them” mentality that…

Aquinas acknowledges that this can be a difficult task, and asserts that if people do not take care to look into the ideas of right and wrong, habitual immorality can develop. He stressed that this immortality is present in both the intention and carrying out of an act, and that to act in a good way for the wrong reason is to perform a good exterior act but a bad interior one. For example, donating money to charity is a good exterior act, but if given with the wrong…

feet. Looking away from the crowd, he surreptitiously raised a meaty fist to his eye. But I saw. He wept. The snivelling little boy ahead of us stepped out. He walked over to the woman, stood at her feet and stared, silent now, mouth still slightly agape. His mother moved toward him and knelt down to meet her son eye-to-eye. Gently, she wiped his tear-streaked face, and taking his hand, led him away. There was a glistening in her eyes, a softening to her mouth. A sharp jab from Jane brought me…
