influential in Terry’s decision to confess as he prompts Terry to use his mind instead of using his fists. Terry’s heroism is largely devolved by Father Barry as he guided him away from the negative influence instilled by the mob.

This story is about a murder which occurred on Candy Marshall’s plantation. Candy is the main protagonist, of the novel, though much of it does not have much to do with her personally.

The corpse is discovered by Candy just outside of the house belonging to a man named Mathu. Candy thinks that Mathu is responsible for the murder of…

goes through is not easy. These are also issues that tend to be controversial so it’s important that they’re being addressed through this medium. I would and do use a lot of Suzan Lori-Parks’ techniques in writing a script. I really liked her “confessions” and I think it would be interesting to implement on my own characters or try as a writing exercise.…

Book X marks the transition in the Confessions from autobiography to the direct analysis of philosophical and theological issues. It is also noteworthy that the length of the Books begins to increase dramatically here (Book X is more than twice the length of most of the previous Books). Although this is a sudden transition in form and content, Augustine is following an underlying structure. This structure depends mainly on his view (which is not explicitly mentioned in the work) that the story…

autobiographies existed in Europe before Rousseau published the Confessions, but his work in many ways represented an entirely new literary form. Although works such as St. Augustine’s own Confessions (a.d. 397) had previously been widely read and celebrated, religious works of that kind differed greatly from Rousseau’s own, since they sought to convey an inspirational story of religious virtuosity. By contrast, Rousseau’s Confessions sought to bare the entire life of its author subject,…

“The Confessions” is one of the many books that Augustine had written over the course of his lifetime. It may seem like a difficult read, but it is definitely worth getting into. Some of the topics he speaks about range from his misunderstanding of scripture, his concupiscence, and his conception of sins which is the topic of this paper analysis. In Augustine’s point of view, there are more than just the seven deadly sins that we all are familiar with. Most of “The Confessions” is filled with…

While discussing confessions, the authors of this article have come across an interesting topic. There have been a variety of studies done that have analyzed the reason behind why someone confesses to doing certain transgressions. But there hasn’t been a study done to look into the extent one confesses. Does one fully confess to their transgressions or are there occasions where they only partially confess. People often confess in order to make themselves feel better and less guilty. When one is…

“The Outsider” a short story in “The Lurking Fear” by H.P. Lovecraft. It is a simple story on the surface but it can be thought provoking if you read deeper. It is about a man trying to find out where he is and why. Even though the story is in a collection of macabre horror it is more of a mystery than horror story till the end. The writer’s descriptions are so vivid that the reader does not notice the lack of characters. “I know not where I was born, save that the castle was infinitely old and…
