participation, church membership, and Bible study increased rapidly (Schwarz, 2005, p. 91). Along with this revival of personal piety grew a strong “evangelistic” desire to go throughout “the world and convert nonbelievers to Protestant Christianity” (Everett, 2018). While its genesis was discussions in 1806 among theology students at Williams College in Massachusetts who had a strong desire to go as missionaries, the American Board…

protagonist, Ulysses Everett McGill, resembles the qualities of the epic hero, Odysseus. Both characters encounter obstacles and enemies that are almost the same in every aspect. The stories begin in media res with the same opening by a muse. The Odyssey opened up with, “Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallow heights of Troy” (Homer 77). Although the Coen brothers…

Odysseus would not have fought as hard as did for twenty years in order to return to his kingdom and his wife; “Only Odysseus still longed to return to his home and his wife” (Homer 15-16). In O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Penny is the sole reason Everett breaks out of jail. He wants nothing more than to win her back and marry her again to become…

I believe that Chris would have been able to have the adventure he was hoping for if he did more research. Not only would it have helped him find suitable food to eat, it more than likely would have saved his life. McCandless still would have been out in the wilderness alone meaning his journey would still be successful. If Chris brought along a map I believe that his story would have been less compelling. The story struck many people as either brave or incoherent. Bringing a map along would…

In Percival Everett 's Zulus, a clear alphabetical order makes up the format of the book, seen through each lettered chapter. This order is similar to that of an archival structure. Murfin and Ray 's Bedford Glossary of Critical and Literary Terms archives its information in a similar abecedarian format. Similar to Zulus, The Bedford also applies a clear alphabetical structure. However, unlike Zulus, it is impossible to read The Bedford as though it were an actual story. Page one starts off with…

Terrorism involves unlawful use of violence or intimidation to coerce a government or a population in pursuit of political or social objectives (Peak & Everett, 2015, p. 377). Terrorism does not always involve guns and bombs, it can take other forms such as cyber terrorism and bioterrorism (Peak & Everett, 2015). The terrorist attacks on United States soils have demonstrated vulnerability and the need for the law enforcement to be more knowledgeable. Being knowledgeable about terrorists’ methods…

The nuclear family that will be discussed in the next few pages consist of Everett Babcock (father), Lois Babcock (Mother), and their two children Kelly and Rodney Babcock. Everett and Lois are deceased, Everett was 79 at the time of his passing in February 2017 and Lois was 75 when she passed away in August of 2015. Kelly is 55 years old and a mother of two children, and grandmother of three grandchildren. Rodney is 51 years old, married but has no biological children of his own. Timmermann…

same name because Odysseus’s Latin name is Ulysses. The difference in this case is that Ulysses mostly goes by the name Everett. Another similarity between the two is that they both want to get home to their families. When Odysseus is on Calypso’s island, “he [sits] on the rocky shore… with eyes wet” (Homer 5:84-85). This shows that Odysseus still thinks about his family. Everett shows that he wants to get home so badly by lying to his men about there being a secret…

As a young boy he lived in the working class town of Everett Massachusetts. My grandfather used the poem “The Road Not Taken” , a piece by Robert Frost, that tells the story of a traveler who must choose which path to take on his journey. One path, is described as worn and perfectly trimmed, white the other is overgrown and unknown. One of his biggest decisions went perfectly with the theme of the poem. Speaking on living in the town of Everett he said, “My father was a doctor. Which was rare…
