Forsaken

They watched as a man in a black suit stepped up to the podium. “It is my unfortunate duty to report, that the POTUS and VPOTUS have both died in unrelated incidents. A piece of legislation that the President signed in a few weeks ago will dictate the election process, and tomorrow the next president of these united states will elected by a national popular vote, and will be sworn in immediately.” The audience at the press conference where (word choice) stunned into a confused silence, as no…

Tom always tries to fit in but he is just too distinct from everyone else and he never does. “He was a forsaken,friendless boy, he said; nobody loved him...he had tried to do right and get along,but they wouldn’t let him…”(Twain81). Tom is always lonely and he tried to make friends but it didn't work out, not because of him but because of others,by this people…

Carthage, from male “threats.” Dido also states that “if I’d at least conceived a child of [Aeneas’s] before [he] fled, if a little Aeneas were playing about my halls, whose face might still recall [his], I’d not feel myself so utterly deceived and forsaken.” (4.328-4.330) Essentially, she is trying to appeal to Aeneas through the idea of having a child, implying that Aeneas would not have to stay in Carthage and parent said child with Dido. This idea does subvert the traditional family…

days gathering on the third day to hear God’s voice. In solitary Moses climbed the Mountain residing there for forty days receiving the Ten Commandments. (Sherbrick) Yet when he returned he was horrified to discover that the people of Israel had forsaken both him and their God. When the Israelites saw that Moses had not returned for many days they turned to Aaron for answer “Up, Make us gods, who shall go before us” he fashioned a molten calf from the Gold that was possessed within the camp.…

“Through me the way into the doleful city, / Through me the way into eternal grief, / Through me the way among a race forsaken. / ... / Abandon hope, forever, you who enter,” (Dante 20). When one thinks of the underworld one might expect see eternal flames and hear blood-curdling screams in pain, but what about a small dark room with two other people? What about living cooped up in one room, forever hearing the thoughts of another? Watching those alive forget about you? That’s where the…

realized that there was an opportunity to use metaphors and similes that have never been used before. For example, I recall my abstract comparison of a ‘star’ in my junior paper where I stated: “I see the stars as the ever growing pursuit of a god forsaken engine that will one day see existence and humanity as the same concepts, all just matter.” Due to my change in style, I found a voice that I enjoyed to write with but was not particularly good at being clear. After this change in style, I…

Throughout the Middle Ages, Christianity dominated many aspects of society, among all classes of people. The Book of Margery Kempe exemplifies this domination, without a background of religion, there would be no context for which the book to exist. In fact, it can be argued that the most important characters are religious figures, such as Jesus . With this emphasis on religion, one common activity among those who could afford it was pilgrimages and a large part of her story consists of Margery…

toward the Lord. As expected for a prolific author and respected scholar, many of these signposts arrived to him in the form of literature. The Joy that he found in fiction, and even in mythology, worked to point him toward a faith that he had once forsaken.…

Ownership What is the relationship between ownership and self identity/development? This is an extremely complicated question with multiple varying answers. There are many theories trying to answer this question, such as, Plato 's claim that "owning objects is detrimental to a person 's character", whereas Aristotle argues that "ownership of tangible goods helps to develop moral character." However, to truly answer this this question, we must first answer the question, what is ownership? If…

I lived near the market behind the farm where everyone was talking and going about their beautiful day. I grew up in small town in Dar es Salaam, where the streets were constantly humming under the large palm trees and the kids were always seen playing football and other traditional games that occupied the little time they had off school. I would indulge and run with the dirt covered children. Naturally I had to find other ways to free our minds, played tag and went on heroic quests and…
