On the surface, satire may seem meaningless, but is actually thought provoking proven by Catch 22. The novel itself is composed in mockery of World War II. This novel is centered on the compact island of Pianosa in the Mediterranean sea, immediately upon Germany no longer being a threat to the United States. It evolves around the endeavors of one man, Yossarian, to carry through the everlasting war. Throughout this novel Yossarian is trying to escape the war, and in order to do so he does…

Most people say it’s not person who are the change of the view of the people because any other person could have done that action. I say the person is more important. Why? Because it wasn’t anyone else. It was that person. For example, if Martin Luther wasn’t the one to nail his 95 thesis then would the people who went to follow that person still be called a Lutheran? No they would be called whatever the person who stood up to the church’s name would most likely be. But, because of Luther the…

Today, western Christianity is comprised of a myriad of denominations largely born out of the Protestant Reformation that took place in 16th century Europe. Spearheaded by German scholar, Martin Luther, the Reformation began in an effort to reform corruption within the Catholic Church and soon spiraled into a religious revolution. Social and economic strife as well as vast advances in literacy and a growing sense of nationalism cultivated European life to be a breeding ground for dissent.…

popular among rightist Catholics, there is a straight line from Luther to the French Revolution, Marx, and Lenin; the other one, enthusiastically affirmed by many Reformed Christians, claims that Luther and Calvin are responsible for democracy, republicanism, freedom, Enlightenment, progress, individualism, and perhaps also socialized medicine, psychoanalysis, "freelove" and the Manchester School of Economics. These concepts are not so different because mutually the one is the caricature of the…

In this time we see a mixing of tolerance and intolerance, almost like a game of tug-o-war, where everyone seems to be claiming they know the path Christianity is supposed to follow. Just a little before this, Martin Luther made a prevalent impact of Christian society going against the Catholic Church and we reside in it’s wake. Luther fought hard for what he believed and had many oppose him for it, however it’s now after he is gone that someone begins to rival him. Jean Calvin, a calculating…

While the Catholic Reformation technically started before the Protestant Reformation, the onset of Protestantism gave it a new character. Before, the church was reforming due to inner necessities, but now the church had actual issues to respond to from the Protestants (Gonzalez, Vol. 2, pg. 138). The three types of the reformation were spiritual, administrative, and doctrinal. The spiritual type included the developmentive new orders. There were the Capuchin Franciscan monastics. They were…

Kurt Vonnegut talks his own particular voice yet how about we Billy Pilgrim story assume control on his crazy person enterprise as a time traveler, that is the place the Tralfamadorians come partially to show Billy and the perusers about morals in the human life.

that, I would recommend Oscar Wilde’s The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray, Michael Chabon’s The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay and Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. While all of these novels have impacted me, there is definitely one that I will never forget: Slaughterhouse-Five. While at first glance Slaughterhouse-Five seems like your typical anti-war novel, it is in fact a novel that affords the…

Broadway, the Five Points. Yet, the versions of New York these writers present are vastly different. Some of these differences stem from the fact that Dickens is merely a visitor in New York, while Foster clearly knows the ins-and-outs of the city. The clearest demonstration of this is when Dickens and Foster guide their readers to the Five Points. When Dickens intends to stroll through the Five Points, he notes that “but it is needful, first, that we take…
