Eric Liddell

As far as student athletes are concerned, the RC hockey team sets out every game to be well rounded Christians competing in a sport they love. Some of these athletes, after further observation, are very talented. Unfortunately, I was unable to speak with them. Yet, I was able to see them to be much like Liddell’s character from the film Chariots of Fire. Personally, I see a lot of these players to have his attitude while playing in a game. They may not be as open or enthusiastic about it as he was. However, knowing a bit about the standards of their school, I do see them in a similar fashion as Liddell. From my point of view on the matter, while OU is diverse and is composed of students from all religious or nonreligious backgrounds, it is not something that is seen during sporting events. As a fan, I can see that sports at OU are secular in nature and do not hold any religious qualities. This is something that further separates the two institutions, however, the very separation lies within the foundations of the schools; public versus…

main race/end reward in life. Eric Liddell ran a lot of races; however, he ran the most important race in life. That race is the race of religion and he was rewarded with the end prize of that race. That end prize is eternal life. Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams were rivals. They ran for completely different reasons. They ran and won different races in life. However, they were still rivals. Eric and Harold were similar in that they were amazing runners and all around athletes, but they…

want a life that honors GOD or a life that is full of guilt and sorrow. God always has a plan for us. “Chariots of Fire” is an amazing movie that shows us the many differences between the runners Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams. It was different for Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams. Someone ran for the glory of God. Somebody, on the other hand, ran to win. Eric and Harold differed in their attitudes, personalities, and influences. Attitude is an important thing that influences the way…

physically or mentally. However, the transformation causes individuals to lose their purity and morality that make them unique. In the same manner, Carroll suggests that people should enjoy their early years of life because it is the time where they can freely dream and do whatever the desired without committing to anything in life. In contrast, the adults have much accountability in life, such as how to manage their time, take care of their families, and find a job. Therefore, they do not have…

house or walking around with neighborhood kids. G.M. Young said, “Lewis Carroll exemplified a ‘new unpietistic handling of childhood’” (British Writers). This means that Carroll expressed a new meaning of childhood to adulthood while up keeping imaginative thought. We often see Alice as someone who follows the rules, “but there is nothing goody-goody in the treatment of her adventures” or in the way she handles herself (British Writers). This shows that Alice is growing up as anyone would, but…

His father was a clergyman and was a large influence on Lewis’s career of becoming a Reverend. Carroll came from a large family of elven children, and he often took on the duty of amusing his younger sisters. He was the eldest boy in the family and was often put in charge of entertaining his siblings. Carroll had many careers which included being an English writer, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer. Lewis was a very talented and accomplished photographer. Photography…

Lewis Carroll was an English logician, mathematician, an ordained minister, a photographer and a writer best known for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. He was born on January 27, 1832, with the birth name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Many people don’t know that the Alice stories were based on a real girl, Alice Liddell. Carroll first met Liddell on a boat trip. She asked him to tell her a story and he did. It was such a good story he wrote it down for her and from there the Adventures in…

Literary Analysis Lewis Carroll was born on January 27, 1832 in Daresbury, England. Lewis was the oldest child out of his ten siblings and yet was always very bright in mathematics and won many prizes throughout his youth. Carroll was always known for connecting with children within literature and even the way he spoke was more perceivable to children in the mid 1800’s. As Carroll enjoyed and connected with the young minds of the youth he connected greatly with Alice Liddell, daughter of Henry…

Before this course, I was familiar with the immigrant stories of Mexicans, families and students. After this class, I was able to learn about other stories of immigrants coming from Latin America, and Russia. Society already defines immigrants to be only Latino’s or people from Mexico but in reality, there are millions of immigrants who have ben in the United States and who are coming now from Russia, Korea, Canada, Syria etc. Just like the immigrants from Latin American many of them are…

Nation of Lies Why do we lie to others, but expect others to be honest with us? Today in society, lies have embodied the lives of many to the point where it has become a natural part of our lifestyle. Lying has become a natural habit for us, it has become a factor in how we carry out our lives. Whether we may have lied in consideration of how others may feel, or if it was because we did not want to carry out something we were assigned, lying has become so natural to us that we cannot…
