going to pull off a huge upset. 5 days before that unforgettable Saturday Begley told me and two of my friends he was going to buy us student section tickets and take us to the game. I immediately called bullshit and laughed, it seemed like complete blasphemy because he wanted student section tickets that would cost $125 each and another $100 each to be verified. A $900 event, no high school student can just pull this kind of money out of their ass. That is when Begley pulled off something I…

On the side head of Satan, Dante found Brutus, the “founder and first consul of the Roman Republic” (Sayre 241) who betrayed Julius Caesar…

The Gospels of The New Oxford Annotated Bible aim to tell of the life of Jesus Christ. The authors build the narratives around the Father-Son relationship of God and Jesus because of how much of an impact God’s sacrifice has on Jesus’ ministry. “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” (John 3:16). Throughout the book of John, Jesus repeatedly says that he is the Son of God, the Son of Man, and God. If Jesus…

by Jesus. Jesus showcases his divine power by healing lepers, conducting exorcisms and eating with sinners (Mark 1-2). His rise in popularity is contrasted with the growing tension between Jesus and authorities, as seen with the accusation of the blasphemy from the scribes (Mark 2:6-7). Lastly, the conclusion of the Gospel Mark concentrates on the final days of Jesus before his death. The use of various literary devices such as plot, characters and setting produce many emotions that the author…
