Big Ten Conference

In his story, George Orwell engenders the character Benjamin, the oldest, most sagacious, and stereotypical donkey; obstinate and cynical. Benjamin's personality does not seem to transmute after the revolt, as he does not care for the rebellion. He believes his world is identically tantamount with animals in control, and with humans in control. As the book progresses, Benjamin is in several significant scenes in the book, where he is a bystander, but does nothing. An example of this is when…

been alive to experience things that most animals haven’t and that's why I chose Benjamin because he gets everything that is happening while the other animals are blinded by all the perks of the windmill. I also had to choose the perspective of the big bad wolf himself Napoleon,…

Conflict is a prevalent issue within organizations, families and relationships. It is not only present within a current societal context but it was also present in Biblical times. There are numerous examples of conflicts throughout the Bible. Each present their own unique set of circumstances and conclusions.

An idol is a person that you adore, love, aspire to be or even worship. In this case my idol would be the famous rapper, Kanye West. Idolizing Kanye West may sound shallow or even foolish to people, since he has a bad reputation for being arrogant, self-obsessed. But from my perspective, he is not vain at all. He is just self confident and he should be since he has the material to back it up. If I ever meet and have the privilege to share a drink with him obviously I wouldn’t know what to…

Introduction There is a constant theme of the presence of God in the Old Testament in which God attempts to show His people (the Israelites) His law and how to live by them. Idolatry, one of the largest problems amongst the Israelites in the old testament and many of the letters of Paul to the churches in the new testament are proof that this is an ongoing issue Them Exodus is the second book of the Old Testament through which God’s fulfilment of promises to past generations are communicated…

The Ten Commandments are religious rules or beliefs that show up in many of the world’s major religions. Christianity, Islam, and Judaism all have their own form of the Ten Commandments, also known as the Decalogue, or rules by which everyone should follow. In Christianity, the belief is that if one breaks one of these rules, he or she will be punished for ones sins: many believe that this punishment will be banishment to hell.

How does be true relate to the Scarlet Letter? Hawthorne portrays this idea many times throughout this book. For example, truth or the lack thereof can be linked to the conflicts such as secrets, marriages, and sins. “Speak; and give your child a father!” (Page 40; Chapter III) The secrets are who the father is and who Roger Chillingworth really is. “I am a stranger, and have been a wanderer…” (Page 36; Chapter III) Hester becomes a weak link in her marriage. “Yonder woman.. was the wife of a…

fruit contained knowledge that only God had at the time. This portion of the bible expresses sin as any act that defies God’s command; God has certain expectations and rules for us that he provides us with in later scriptures through Moses and the Ten Commandments. “He” expects us to be able to follow these commandments and any other “rules” that he may personally give us apart from what is written in the scriptures. However, God knows that we are human beings and just like our first examples…

The death penalty is the process in which, convicted criminals are executed by a governing authority. Many other countries have abolished capital punishment but the United States still allows for this to happen in certain states. The death penalty is used for most terrible crimes such as murder, treason, or espionage but mainly for murder…

When you think of a democracy, what comes to mind? Is it just and equal? Or is it manipulative and surreptitious? Animal Farm, by George Orwell, explores the timeline by which animals come out of unjust “rule” and attempt to make a systematic government (only to fall into another one). From devotion, honesty, to corruption, Orwell reflects the events of the Russian Revolution. The thought of an honest and well-educated person, single-handedly, ruling a country seems sound, that is, without…
