“Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Marley, happy birthday to you!” everyone in her family sings to her on her birthday. She has just turned 19.

Tears stream from her mom's eyes as Marley begins smiling wide. Marley has always been the perfect daughter. Her family has had…

The Overdue Break for Everyone After reading “Less Stuff, More Heart: 5 Gifts On a New Dad’s Christmas List” by Christopher Zumski Finke, it got me thinking about what “giving gifts” really meant, and how much it has been seen as giving someone something super expensive to show how much you care about them, but gift giving isn’t about the price of the item, but the thought of the person giving. Gift giving and gift receiving is always a nice act. It can make others feel happy, and can make you…

I remember a lot of interesting stories of my childhood: the first time when I discovered what an electric shock was while I hung Christmas lights, a time that I transformed the living room into a circus stage or on a birthday when I asked my parents a data-show projector. For me, those were the first steps to realizing my passion for scenic design. For a long time, I had never thought I would be able some day to work with scenic design or big shows. Then in 2011 I had the privilege to have…

• The Gift God gave humankind in the beginning was a supply for survival on earth, which is nature was the garden of Eden he created and told man to benefit from it not to exploit all that is in it. In the beginning of Genesis 1 that states that the earth was covered with water, and God separated water and created dry land. The creation of the nature lays a foundation, that God himself cared through the making of the earth and that in all he created he said it was good after it was made.…

The first chapter of Barnes’ history presents a revisionist version of the Deluge, told by a woodworm who was a stowaway on board Noah’s ark. The second chapter takes place in the Mediterranean and tells the story of Franklin Hughes, a historian and entertainer, who works on a cruise liner, the Santa Euphemia, which is hijacked by Arab terrorists. The third chapter presents the transcript of a trial, set in a small village in 16th-century France, in which woodworms are charged with destruction…

beginning of time, since the serpent tempted Eve to eat the fruit from the tree. Evil has been shown in heinous actions, such as when Cain murdered Abel. In Lord of the Flies, evil had slowly but surely appeared; It is demonstrated in the actions of the characters. Evil originated in the beginning of the world. In the Garden of Eden, A serpent approached Eve and tempted her to take the fruit from the tree, something God had forbidden her and Adam to do. Eve gave into temptation and ate the…

Every year on Christmas Eve the whole family woke up at 9 in the morning. We would all get ready for a family Christmas in DeWitt, Iowa at my aunt’s and uncle’s. Christmas was the only time the whole family got together. My family never had any family reunions or family Thanksgivings. So going to Christmas in Dewitt would let me see all my family members that rarely came by. The day started out with my mother in the kitchen. Every year my mother made the best vegetable pizza that she took…

If I were to switch places with somebody for a day, I’d switch places with Santa Claus on Christmas day. Why, you ask? The answer is simple. To ruin Christmas for all the little girls and boys. As Santa Claus, I would fill their presents with their past pet animal’s rotting corpses. They would smell the stench of rotting flesh, unable to figure what it’s coming from, but when it’s time to open presents they’ll let out a blood curdling scream. Oh, how I’ll laugh my jolly Santa Claus laugh, my…

There is a significant amount of differences between Dante's image of Satan (for example, the three-faced, silent being stuck in ice) and more usual images of Satan (for example, the pitchfork-wielding devil in fire). I choose this topic because I thought the way Dante portrays Satan in Dante’s Inferno was a very interesting and different way than the way Christians and other modern religions portray him. There have many papers and articles written about this that have changed my perspective of…
