Crown of Thorns

In my opinion the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important event in the history of humanity. And why is that, because it allows everybody who has accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior to have everlasting life. On December 25, A.D. God sent his one and only son, in his image, to spread his word and teach his truths. Jesus performed miracles such as making the blind see and helping the lame to walk. He performed such miracles as feeding five thousand people by…

The Journey from Fear to Freedom Freedom is a component to which all of today’s Americans are granted. However, for African Americans in mid-1800s, freedom was restrained from them in the clutches of slavery. For Frederick Douglass, tortured slave and author of Resurrection, freedom was obtained through means of courageous retaliation. Douglass uses his autobiography to self-reflect on his rise from a slave bound to orders into a man free from the institutions peculiarities, as well as persuade…

I’d visited Lewes once before. Bonfire Night, 2002, aged 4, ears stuffed with cotton wool and potential pyromania growing within. From that, one can understand my intrigue when it was described as “a genteel town” by David James Smith for The Sunday Times - quite the opposite to how I’d perceived it! I had to see it to believe it. I travelled by bus from the nearby city of Brighton and Hove, to enter Lewes like a local. Trying to look sophisticated, in the sea of briefcase gripping…

if they can’t hurt me they can’t hurt you” (240). McMurphy puts on a brave front so that Chief stays strong during the electroshock therapy. He voluntarily lies onto the crossed-shape table and mockingly asks an orderly if he will receive a “crown of thorns”. After the electroshock therapy, Chief believes that he beat the Combine because he did not return to the fog. He wonders, “Maybe the Combine wasn’t all-powerful. What was to stop us from doing it again, now that we saw we could? Or…

Climate change and mass coral bleaching, outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish, overfishing, and shipping accidents are all contributing factors that are killing what was once the most beautiful reef in the world. Australia also has a large oil industry and there has been several large oil pills, which are a disaster…

find a reason to kill him. He asks Jesus if he is the Messiah, Jesus replies yes. From there his clothes were torn off, he was blindfolded, spit at, and was beaten. Jesus is then sent to Pontius Pilate who agrees to crucify him. They placed a crown of thorns onto Jesus’ head and was crucified at Golgotha. His body was put into a tomb with a large stone covering the entrance. Three days after Jesus’ death, Mary Magdalene and a few other women went to visit the tomb and found that the stone…

The movie Risen is unique in the fact that it tells of the crucifixion of Christ from an initial non-believer 's perspective. I have never viewed a religious movie before, whether it be at home or in a theatre. I chose to see Risen in the theatre on a Saturday night in order to observe not only the film itself, but the atmosphere in general, including the drive both to and from the theatre. From noisy and crowded to quiet and focused, by the end of Risen, the viewer’s reactions, including my own…

It was all about the love that god gave and how able to forgive all our sins and help us in our time of need. And for that reason…

Introduction: Australia’s Great Barrier Reef (GBR), one of the world’s most precious marine ecosystems, has been deteriorating due to poor water quality (Kroon et al., 2016). One of the main reasons for this substantial decline in water quality over recent decades is agricultural runoff of nitrogen, pesticides/ herbicides and sediment (Figure 1). In fact, the water quality is most affected in the inshore areas in the southern and central regions near the most intensive agriculture. The impacts…
