these women differed given they occurred in different centuries. The Duchess was written in the mid nineteenth century and indicates that regardless of how women were treated, they didn’t dare to speak up or do something without the consent of their husband. They remained quiet and followed the order of their husband, which eventually lead to them being killed. The true story of the woman’s marriage was written in the early twentieth-first century and shows that the woman gained enough courage…

Touch wood, I like to think that I have lead a relatively healthy life up to this point. I like to eat healthily for the majority of the time and look back on some of the choices I made when I was a young adult and cringe at the fact that I did at one point smoke cigarettes. Apart from routine check-ups it is fairly rare for me to need to see a doctor. Working with children I like to think that I have a fairly strong immune system. If I do feel as though my throat is getting a bit scratchy I…

The trick is merely to know when the progress is good enough. I will never reach perfection as perfection is not tangible in the arts, and writing is an art. Logistically, a photograph, a painting, a song, a poem, or an essay could be flawless. Theoretically, though, it could be lacking in areas…

children, and the other more appropriate for adults. The episode of Christian fighting Apollyon is better fitted for a children’s version of Pilgrim’s Progress. Christian and Hopeful crossing the River is more fitting for an adult version of the text. The event of Christian and Apollyon fighting is better suited for a child’s rendition of the Pilgrim’s Progress. Although the episode is violent, through it’s thrilling fight scene and incorporation of a monster this episode draws children in.…

A few weeks ago we watched the film, Including Samuel. It is a documentary on the complexities of inclusion. It also touched on how inclusion works, and how more schools are starting to try and incorporate inclusion. While it is still a work in progress, inclusion is becoming a big part of life. Despite the fact the film was not perfect, they did a good job of stating how important and beneficial inclusion is. The film starts out with a little boy named Samuel, and his family. They explain…

Lutheran theology echoes throughout the Pilgrim’s Progress, particularly through John Bunyan’s representations of law and grace. These are two critical ideas that Bunyan presents through his allegory. The ideas are detailed mostly in the beginning of Christian’s journey, as the beginning of one’s faith, where it is easiest to become confused on the nature of salvation. To fully grasp Bunyan’s meaning is to understand what law and grace mean, and how they relate to each other. The concepts, like…

time. In 1660, Bunyan was arrested for preaching, which led him to twelve years in prison. During his long prison life, he finished the first part of The Pilgrim’s Progress, a classical English literary work praised as “the most well-known allegory of the English literature”.

This book tells a…
