David Mathis begins the article,“Embrace the Blessing of Rebuke,” by saying, “one of the most loving things anyone can do for you is tell you when you are wrong.” One sentence into it, and I’m stuck wondering, is that really one of the most loving things you can do for someone? My second inclination is to really hope against this statement being true, because I couldn’t remember the last time I pointed out sin to someone in a way that was even slightly meaningful. I genuinely hoped I would read…

Protection.” Blessing is my best friend. We met in a school bus at Jardine Middle School a couple days after I had come from Mexico. She was quiet and shy, we had assigned seats in the bus, and I ended up with her. We started talking to each other and we became “friends.” Later that year Blessing and I would hang out everyday, during lunch, during passing time, and our favorite part was in the bus because we were usually the last ones to get dropped off so we had a lot of time together. Blessing…

The articles I am going to be talking about are called from Blessings and the other one is from The Count of Monte Cristo. These articles both have some similarities and some differences. Like they both talk about being scared. Also a difference is one heard sounds and one was standing on a high rock. So ultimately they both are scared to just do different things. Moreover, the story of Blessings theme is like attachment becoming better friends sticking together. The story from The Count of…

To begin, in the play “Blessings,” there is a strong theme that the author develops. The theme that was the most clear was adjusting to change. At the beginning of the play, the theme is not very clear. The author has the two kids walking up the mountain to see the sunset. Towards the end of the play, the theme becomes more noticeable and clear. As Rene asks Jesse “pointedly” about having her there, he doesn’t know how to respond. When Rene moved to the mountains, she had to adjust to the change…

could be resolved easily, the issue of slavery took many decades and lives to eventually become resolved. Yet, even to this day, there are multiple opinions surrounding slavery. The narrative of Frederick Douglass clearly refutes the quote from “Blessings of Slavery” by George Fitzhugh. Douglass shows how he is openly discriminated, how his subordinating working conditions are inhumane, and overall the terrible and brutal living…

Even though my faith prior to seeing war first hand was moderate and conservative at best in my practices, it has evidently subsided following 2004. Previously, I would have thanked all my “blessing’s” to God and believed that he had a higher purpose for me in life. Even though I am pseudo successful in my career at such a young age compared to my co-workers and colleagues, I have concluded that it was not predetermined by a higher power, but by the hard work, dedication and values I set forth…

The P-51 was a war-changing weapon and a blessing to the allied bombers over Germany. World War II started in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland. Just like the war before it, there were many different kinds of warfare. For example, air combat, naval combat, land combat, and infantry combat were the main kinds of combat. The U.S was supplying resources to countries already in the war, the U.S did not start fighting until the Attack on Pearl Harbor on the early morning of December 7, 1941, by the…
