person there are many ways to tackle, deal with and answer, questions of our faith. One major question within our religion is what is our relationship with God. This question has many ways to go about answering it. In my personal belief our relationship with god can be ever changing.

AB stated that her “[belief] in nursing is to perform [her] duties to the best of [her] ability” (A.B, personal communication, 2016). AB understands that physical healing is not just about the body but the soul and spirit as well (A.B, personal communication, 2016). Beliefs, in my opinion, can make it difficult to treat a patient without judgement but can also present an opportunity to grow as a person as you are…

it never actually in the film Tree of Life. When listening to the music in the film all I could think about when I go to church and how peaceful the music is when you go to church. The title of the film which, is The Tree is Life plays a religious faith role because in the book of Genesis 2:9, The Tree of Life is first described as being planted with the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The title of the film comes directly from the Bible. I think this movie does have a religious meaning…

Puritans and Predestination in The Crucible Puritans and Predestination are viewed throughout The Crucible by the Puritans lifestyle and their judgment against anything that is not in the Bible or said to be evil. In the opening, Paris states that it was very hard to gain respectable reputation with the rest of the Puritans, and with Abigail and the rest of the girls in the forest it would destroy what Parris has worked for. “The Puritans believed that the Bible was God’s true law, (Kizer).…

The theme of innocence, or lack thereof, is explored in “Prayer Before Birth” and “Once Upon a Time”. MacNiece writes “forgive me, For the sins that in me the world shall commit” while Okara writes “There was a time indeed they used to shake hands with their hearts, but that’s gone, son”. Both poets attempt to show how innocence can be corrupted by the world. MacNiece tries to justify the sin that he will inevitably combat, crediting it to the world he lives in, while Okara believes that he…

There are some different types of identity in the society. People can maintain the identity as a member of a community such as a country or religion, and the identity as an individual, or personality. Thus, the theme of identity can be argued in some ways. For example, “First Muse,” the poem written by Julia Alvarez is about the Mexican-American girl who faces the problem to have her identity as an American. The Catcher in the Rye, the novel written by J. D. Salinger, is also based on the…

For example, one can look at Huckleberry Finn’s simplistic explanation of prayer and morality. “And I about made up my mind to pray, and see if I couldn’t try to quit being the kind of a boy I was and be better. So I kneeled down. But the words wouldn’t come. Why wouldn’t they? It warn’t no use to try and hide it from Him. Nor from ME, neither. I knowed very well why they wouldn’t come. It was because my heart warn’t right; it was because I warn’t square; it was because I was playing double. I…

Although these newer colonies were not all directly formed on religious grounds, the attempt to seek religious freedom was a major factor in the development of all of the colonies in the New…
