Eve Ensler

In my opinion the show as a whole, was successful.

We watch as they stumble and fall, come back together, and rediscover a lost love that they had forgotten long ago, along with their precious memories of the Garden of Eden. James Still’s adaptation on the well-known play by Mark Twain brings us a beautiful romantic tale, that makes us laugh,…

Reading Genesis chapters 1:1 – 2:3 I was amazed to find out that earth wasn’t something that was already in existence, but that earth was something created by Someone who was already in existence. The first chapter of Genesis starts off in verse one saying “In the beginning God” implying that he was there before all things. God is not only a master in creating but I learned in this narrative that he is also a master in designing. What really strikes me is that I am able to recognize one of God’s…

The book of Job starts with a scene in heaven where Satan comes and challenges God that if he is given permission to inflict pain and punish Job, that Job will turn against God and curse him¬. Satan believes that Job serves God only because he protects him and keeps him safe, that is why he wants God’s permission to punish him and prove that Job will turn against God. From here we can see that the story is going to include a major turn of events because God agrees with Satan, given he doesn’t…

In the Bible, the Apostle John proclaims “Sin is a master to whom we become enslaved” (John 8:34). The disciple John clarifies sin can consume one’s spirit completely: tearing a person apart from the guilt of their sins. In the Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne implies a similar concept on how sin is capable of altering one’s character, along with the shame from their guilt. Throughout the Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne utilizes key elements such as diction and rhetorical devices, to convey a…
