Eternity

something so breathtaking. Looking out at the view it is no wonder why it was chosen to be one of the top places in the world. Nothing is out of place. Every rock is secure where it belongs. The caverns are never ending, they seem to roll on for an eternity. If I could pick a perfect moment to go back to, this would be…

starvation (english.illinois.edu). Another reference was to Sisyphus, who was also referred in Greek Mythology, was punished in Hades by repeatedly made to roll a huge stone up and down a hill because he tried to cheat death in order take control of eternity (britannica.com).…

Recess had just started and I run to Valerie. “Race you to the swings” I tell her “last one is a rotten egg.” We race to the swings and as we usually do, we compete on who can swing the highest. As usual, i win her. She had anger toward me for always winning she would always try to do something to me. I suppose, hurt me. So today she decided to push me, I laugh and push her back even harder, it went on and on all through recess, each time harder than the last. When i finally day “Do not push…

look around to see who possibly could have called my name when I saw my friend Nick. I was so nervous my heart was pounding like a drum because it was a start of middle school. I was talking to my friends, waiting for the bus which it felt like an eternity, but the bus finally arrived. As I walked into the bus I looked up at the big, yellow, glaring sun hoping today would be a good day. On the way to Hunt Middle School, the talking and laughter helped me forget the jitters. As I arrived at Hunt…

How incredible to think that this temptation is so great that the Lord will send down a flying angel to communicate this message to the people on earth. This speaks to the Lord’s awesome grace and love towards all humanity. He does not long for the death of anyone’s soul, but that they should repent and believe (Ezek. 33:11).

“[die] I must I’ve known it all my life / […] even without / your death-sentence ringing in my ears” (82.512-514). She chose though, that dying early for her brother was more honourable than dying later and leaving her brother to be stuck in limbo for eternity. Yet, her actions hardly seem to deserve the strict punishment of death as her actions were illegal but built off of ethical reasoning. Even though Antigone knows that her position is morally correct, she still fully accepts her death,…

clearly showed that the author believed life’s impact simply diminishes once gone. These ideas clearly go against the ideas in “Sonnet 43”. The word choice that “Sonnet 43” embodies are words that give a sense of eternity and forever. As well, the poet uses words that show the eternity that certain things have. This is clear when she talking about how the speaker will love the man with the consistency of the sun. When thought about this in a more thoughtful manor, the reader can compare how a…

leaves once in awhile just to play skee-ball on Earth.”(Hertz) In multiple tv shows the angel’s only source of amusement is to watch what happens on Earth. Watching loved ones after death isn’t the most appealing of ideas. Zaleski states, “ given eternity, many of us fear that there will not be enough mansions to keep us entertained...a rumor has gotten out that heaven will be church services that never end.” (Zaleski) A never ending church service is something no one would look forward to, but…
