2 Timothy The book of 2 Timothy is the second of two pastoral letters or epistles sent to Timothy by Paul while he was a prisoner in Rome. It was written sometime before Paul’s death in AD 66 (Hindson & Towns, 2013, p. 500) and probably written around four years after he wrote 1 Timothy and told Timothy to “fight the good fight” (1 Tim 1:18). The dominant theme of 2 Timothy is the church's departure from the truth (Hindson & Towns, 2013, p. 498) however, the letter is broken down further into…

his pen name of Zorro. Ignatius’s peculiarity is shown impeccably with his interaction with Dr. Talc because it shows his audacity to prank people by sending raging letters signed by odd names. In a later scene in the novel when Ignatius speaks with Dorian Greene in the French Quarter, he brings up a bizarre idea of what would happen if the government and militaries of the world were infiltrated by homosexuals. Ignatius even states that this secretive movement could…

Race in the United States is a touchy subject to say the least. Many in this country would like to believe that racism is a thing of the past and that the United States is as equal as it has ever been. Sadly that is very incorrect. The United States has a dark history with race relations and the residue from centuries of inequality are found everywhere in our society. One area of racial inequality imbedded deep in societies foundations would be that of crime and punishment. The law fixes…

The film I chose for my final research paper was Paris is Burning, because although we viewed 2 other films about gender roles, I believe it represented all of the gender roles found in society. Livingston was able to dive into the world of the New York City drag balls and give the viewers an insight to race, class, gender, and sexuality in America. She was able to depict this by conducting interviews with “legends” in the ball scene but also footage of ball competitions and the interaction of…

All forms of arts serve as means of expression of the human 's’ inner feelings and desires. In actuality, people have the freedom to express their opinions, judgments, and even the darkest desires in any way they wished. However, some people tend to call any type of expression as art. The reason for this is that the word “art” justifies, in a sense, some corruptive and useless artist works. Although I am in favor of almost all types of artworks, there should be a regulative system which…

Society is moving at a fast pace and we must learn how to adapt to change. Just like technology is changing year after year, we must learn to adapt to marital statuses. As a result in change, today we hear of marriages who become a disaster and end up hurting other people like their children. In addition, marriages who become a disaster don 't get divorce on time then end up staying together for the sake of their children, but yet, at time only end up damaging the children’s lifetime. But we…

As a writer I believe I still have a lot more to learn. In writing I think writing fiction is one of my strengths, for example I do enjoy writing short stories on my free time just for fun. I often share them with one of my friends and my cousin. I am still pretty shy about them, but they seem to really like them. Although, they are not the best stories I can spend a lot of time writing them without getting bored. I also enjoy writing argumentative essays, finding evidence that supports my…

Midterm: The Sparta and Athens The ancient Greek city, first thought should be Spartan and Athens. The two city-states have always been very contrary to the impression that Sparta is the authoritarian oligarchy, known for land military forces, and Athens is open-minded democracy, Athens is not the kind of brave feeling, but Is good at philosophy, literature, art, mathematics, cultural capital, but also the sea Pa people. More importantly, after the second Greco-Persian Wars (480 to 479 BC), the…

Every child at some point in their life has had a moment where they wish they were an adult. Sometimes it’s because we do not want to be considered “little” or wanted to understand things better. In the book “To Kill A Mockingbird”, Harper Lee shows that children have a lot of growing up to do before they can be considered an adult and that it may take some time for the change to happen. “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee is a great example of how children grow up to see things differently…

This paper had the goal to answer the question whether the depiction of Big Momma in Raja Gosnell’s movie Big Momma’s House can be considered as a contemporary depiction of the Mammy archetype or whether Big Momma and the Mammy indicate too many differences to be regarded to be indentical. After having illustrated basic characteristics of the Mammy icon, followed by an analysis of Big Momma in the movie, similarities as well as differences have become visible. First, Big Momma and the Mammy…
