As a child raised in a predominantly African-American neighborhood, my initial encounter with people from other backgrounds occurred when the school district started bussing kids across the city to largely populated white schools.

Interacting with kids from various backgrounds helped me to be more open to different…

In both “Tartuffe” and “Journey to the West”, they both take a surprising turn toward the end. Although both of these texts are written in two totally different dialects, they both are fairly similar to the other. Enlightenment is present in both of these stories. Dorine assumes an essential role and so does Cleante. They are the voice of reason throughout the play.

When one characterizes God as hidden, it refers to the the unclear nature of God’s existence. Robert McKim tells a story about “The Hidden Emperor” that is analogous to the common traditions of theist Gods. That God is an omnipotent being who requires trust and obedience in exchange for protection in ordinary means and the afterlife. The lack of empirical evidence for God’s existence is explained by that God chooses to be hidden and reveal himself only indirectly. In McKim’s story, there is an…

The Life of Pi Qouation Anylasis “Religion?” Mr. Kumar grinned broadly. “I don’t believe in religion. Religion is darkness.”(Martel, 29). I chose this quotation because it’s not that I do not believe in religion myself, but atheism seems to be recurring issue in everyday life. There are so many people today who question religion, such as, if God or religion exists, why is there so much violence in the world? Or, why do so many people live in poverty?

These are real and can be found throughout the internet. They cannot be traced and never have. The code 15728 repeated over…
