Charlottesville

answer to everything into this chaotic world and have them attempt to sort it out. I reference multiple real life incidents to create the sense of hatred that is present. On page four of my “Ethos” script between panels one and three I reference Charlottesville, Syria, and The Vegas shooting to establish that everything on Earth is not ok. My surrounding environment inspired my hero’s duties as I was able to establish what was wrong with the world around me. What is wrong with the world is the…

A crucial part of American history is the Civil Rights movement. For years many brave, determined people have fought for equality among all races, but more importantly, all people. People helped tremendously to bring some light on the topic of Civil Rights, but not everyone supported the movement that encouraged equality for African Americans among white Americans. If such people had enough hate in their heart, they would sometimes form groups to express how they felt about the matter. Arguably…

The evil that men do lives after; the good often buried with their bones. I believe this statement is true for many reasons, and there are many examples of this shown in the book and in reality itself. What that statement is stating how when very good men or just people in general do something evil, meaning something that isn’t very pleasing to the audience/crowd. It’s often buried with their bones which means everything they did good in the world is overshadowed by the evil things they did.…

Edgar Allan Poe’s drug and alcohol abuse, combined with his dysfunctional and unsupportive family, played an extensive role in the darkness and mystery of Poe’s unique writing style.

Furthermore, the images and motifs created by Edgar Allan Poe have an immense influence on the following generations and works of other authors, so that they can become immersed in the popular culture. Poe’s memorable images and…

Through my fieldwork at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville, Virginia, I discovered a church with a unique approach to religious music.

Violence in Gaza “Peace can happen in 24 hours....just like war can happen in 24 hours.” Sari Nusseibeh. This quote from Nusseibeh seems almost too good to be true, especially for countries like Gaza. War and violence is something that seems nearly impossible to fix in just 24 hours like Nusseibeh implies. And seems nearly impossible for the citizens of Gaza who are constantly having to deal with the conflict between Palestine and Israel. The novel, Gaza Writes Backs is composed of…

counsel together against the Lord and against his Anointed saying, “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” Notice first the attitude of the nations. They are raging and plotting against the Lord. From white supremacy in Charlottesville to the nuclear threats in North Korea. The nations are raging. But this is the root attitude of all the nations! It has always been this way.…
