1. I have read the Gospels many times. I went to Sacred Heart Catholic School before St. Marys, and one of our assignment in 7 grade was to read each Gospel and answer a packet of questions. Like if said I’ve read the Gospels a lot and about half of those times were for school assignments. When read the Gospel this time around I notice that my mind was filling in the blanks. I was putting parts from other Gospels into this Gospel in place were it wasn’t written. The most common Gospels…
Chirrut was cool, Jyn was likable, and Cassian was the link to the rebellion. That’s about as far as I viewed them. To me, the characters in The Force Awakens were of the same archetypes we were familiar with. Rey was the new Luke, and Kylo Ren was a young Vader. Characters relatable to the environment created over 6 previous films. However, unlike the previous movies one…
Within the New Testament, the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John work together to give accounts of the life of Jesus; Mark, though, uniquely focuses on Jesus as God. Each of these gospels give an insight into the life of Christ from their perspective. Each of the authors was moved by the Holy Spirit to write their thoughts down onto paper. Each one of these authors had the, “primary purpose…to present the gospel message and call people to faith” (Elwell & Yarbrough, 2013, p. 57). They…
Many books and movies have the same basic storyline. Star Wars: A New Hope and Arthurian Legend both have a very similar storyline; however, there are a few differences. The Force and the Holy Grail are both something that people are trying to find. Han Solo and Lancelot are both main characters but they have very different endings. Star Wars: A New Hope and Arthurian Legend are similar because they both have something that the main characters are trying to find, but they are different because…
The Gospel of Mark has a particular style of setting the scene of Jesus death. We are going to examine how Mark puts a dramatic emphasis in the death of Jesus Christ. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the climax of Mark’s dramatic narration. In addition, Mark tells the story in such an ambiguous way for the purpose of the reader to make their own inferences. In the gospel of mark, the narration mentions that there were bystanders provoking Jesus to drink the sour wine while mocking…
and the villain. Luke Skywalker is the obvious hero of the story as he leaves his home to go fight to save Princess Leia from Alderaan. Princess Leia is the damsel in distress and that becomes apparent when she sends the hologram message to Obi Wan exclaiming that she needs to be rescued. The message stated, “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.” Obi Wan is the sage in the film. A sage is defined as a mentor or a respected elder and that is exactly what he is to Luke. Finally the…
the illustration in Mark 9:2—8 can be also be located in Matthew 17:1—8. Source criticism analysis may suggest that this account of the transfiguration comes from the oldest of the two, in this case that would be the Markan narrative. On the other hand, redaction criticism exposes several editorial changes the Mathean author had made to his narrative; perhaps, additional consideration of the text may suggest a logical explanation for the modifications. Moreover, when it comes to the…
Sure, they still had Admirals spread throughout the galaxy, each probably with their own fleet, but without someone there to hold their hands and make sure they all got along, it was doubtful that they would be able to continue in a war. Years of the Rebellion's fighting, of losing allies and friends, had finally paid off. The Empire was done. A low groan dragged Luke out of his thoughts, bringing him back to the nearly deserted halls of Home One. He adjusted his arm, pulling Leia's slumping…
In the Last Jedi, we know that through the powers of snoke, Kylo Ren and rey experience a force bond, and are able to commune with each other through the force. We have seen this in empire strikes back with Darth Vader speaking to Luke telepathically in empire strikes back ,a nd Darth sidious speakimg with Anikij Skywalker in revenge of the sith, however.......it was reasonable? And as a matter of fact, Kylo and Rey’s interactions in the Last Jedi were much stronger than before seen, as the two…
Enslaved or Empowered Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi (1983) is part of an iconic franchise and includes the infamous slave Leia. When Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) is captured by Jabba the Hutt she is forced to wear a metal bikini while chained to Jabba himself. Earlier this year Disney was rumored to be taking the slave Leia merchandise off store shelves. This could be due to the sexually revealing nature of the outfit which contradicts Disney’s more family friendly orientation. However, many…
