Reverend Jonathan Edwards was a strong believer in the puritan religion which lead up to him writing the sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. The puritans believed in being productive and serving God, which they did by not committing sins.

we cannot peer into the mind or heart to see if one is a true believer, Christian faith can be viewed in one’s daily life. Christians are expected to follow the beatitudes, have a personal relationship with God, trust in the Bible, and perform good deeds.

hero is a male who is to “overcome the weakness and temptations we give in to…” (para.3). However, Joseph Campbell throughout The Power of Myth tells us that heroes can be a plethora of beings, such as a mother or a child; “Giving birth is a heroic deed... The mother as a hero.”(125).

Typically, one has constructive notice if a recorded deed in the chain of title contains the specific restriction. However, this is not always necessary. In Westland Oil Development Corporation v.

life that one learns to accept, however death is one that is difficult to do so. In the morality play Everyman, the inevitability of death is taken head on. With the characters ranging from personifications of human qualities and desires like “Good Deeds” are all used to open the eyes of the audience.

HSBC, for its part, argues that the title it acquired from the foreclosure sale is a valid enforceable instrument that is only voidable upon a finding of a defect.
