Personally, the section of G. Thomas Couser’s piece, Disability, Life Narrative, and Represention that truly made an impression on me was on page 456, when he writes “Although it is as fundamental an aspect of human diversity as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, it is rarely acknowledged as such.” I was almost unsettled after reading this statement, as I realized that I myself fall into the vast population that is essentially uniformed about disability. Just because those with a disability…

discouraged perspective, his exile from Florence would be that moment. In his own words through the mouth-piece of Dante the pilgrim to his former teacher Brunetto Latini in Canto XV, Dante laments: “In the bright life above…I came into a valley and lost my way, before my age had reached its ripening time. I turned my back on the place but yesterday…” Through his time in the Florentine political sphere, Dante was no stranger to the severity of this sentence, having voted to exile fifteen…

Within The Wanderer and The Wife’s Lament, the pain of exile and separation results in feelings of sorrow and of longing for the ignorant blissfulness of the past and the hope the future contains. The differences in the speakers’ mindsets, circumstances that brought their exile, and their gender leads to the diverse interpretations of the speakers’ final conclusions in their exile or journey. Time in isolation leaves both speakers the desire to return to a happy time with their former lord and…

discussion of exile. This is perhaps unsurprising, given exile of the Jewish people is often a narrative framework for the Jewish way of life. The roots of this theme can be traced in to one of the inaugural Jewish literary prose authors, Medele Mocher Sforim, who writes in Shem and Japeth on the Train, “life in exile-this precious gift from God’s store- belongs only to Jews-His chosen people” (Sforim 35). In this story and in the Y.H. Brenner’s The Way Out Jews, how Jewish people live in exile…

is not mentioned in Kings, thus showing the different audience of returned exiles in Chronicles. I believe the message about Manasseh presented in Chronicles is more suiting in context, since these exiles were trying to return to their lives in Canaan while attempting to reestablish God’s law. Instead of simply ending the story after their reason for exile as in Kings, Chronicles takes it a step further by giving the exiles examples of sin and punishment; and the humility and restoration that…

Rodin's internal and external punishment of exile was one filled with tremendous sorrow, it was eventually turned into an enriching experience. The cause of Rodin's internal exile is his mental trauma over the killing of a pawnbroker and her sister. While he had first gladly committed the act, afterwards he was plunged into a state of mental despair over his right to take their lives. This was due to his…

Lazarus was a Jew living in New York during the late 19th century. Her ancestors had been expelled from Spain in 1492 under the Spanish monarchs, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Once in the United States her family became more secular but still practiced the main Jewish holidays. In her poem In the Jewish Synagogue at Newport, Lazarus reflects on what life in the new world means to her, her family, and other Jews that have also become more secular over the…

prophet Joel. The Book of Joel was written between 835 and 400 B.C. The prophet Joel wrote to the Jews during this time period (Allen). The audience the prophet Joel wrote to was the Jews. Joel was talking to the Jews in the Babylonian Exile. At the time Joel lived the Exile was going on. The Book of Joel in the Bible stressed four main points.
