Forsaken

As a child, we spend hours upon hours just looking toward the future. We would sit and imagine what we were going to be in our later years. Re-envisioning ourselves as doctors, engineers and Politian’s, some of us ventured out into the dreams some of us still cling to, the professions of artistry, musicians’ professional athletes. As we age so do our wants, needs and interests, morphing new ideas and dreams that we wish to chase down. I for instance came into the world believing I was capable…

for the people. Hope that change would come and equality would reign. Several times the city of Birmingham tried to tear down the church, but all efforts fell. The church members wouldn’t allow their house of worship to fall. To them God had never forsaken them so they would not leave him. As the years passed they would continue serve and praise God despite the efforts of many to exterminate them. The Church would come to host some of the society’s most prominent citizens including W.E.B.…

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the romantic tragedy about two fighting families, the Montagues and the Capulets. The play is mainly focused on the relationship between the supposed love between Romeo and Juliet who are both from these separate families, but it is shown multiple times throughout the play that they do not make the best decisions as a couple. After all, they married each other the day after they met. Romeo and Juliet aren’t actually in love. This supposed love causes frequent…

already decimated although the public caption only says that they were “aware of the attack” (Breasted 1988:151). There are other problems between the narrative’s consistency between contents of the records and reliefs. Ramses claims that he was “forsaken” to fight single-handedly, despite another statement being made that officials aided in smiting the Hittites (Breasted 1988:147). Ramses stresses this point, going so far as to have it put as an “aside” comment in the official record, and that…

After a few years at college he ended up getting a doctorate, becoming a professor of theology. At the beginning of the year 1513 Luther read the first line of Psalm 22 which says”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me ,so far from my cries of anguish?” Two years later when he was preparing a lecture he read “The just will live by faith.” He studied this statement for a while, suddenly he realized he has been completely oblivious…

Artists and authors often tell a tale involving some form of suffering. One of these tales, Icarus, describes the story of a boy falling out of the sky. Throught the variations of this story, Icarus’s suffering is ignored. Both Author of “Musee des Beaux Arts,” W.H. Auden and Pieter Brueghel, artist of The Fall of Icarus, develop the theme of suffering in Icarus through their artistic mediums. Auden and Brueghel both use position of objects to show suffering. In contrast, the authors differ in…

Cultural identity? I’ve always believed that cultural identity is what your ethnicity or race is. But no, apparently, it’s much more complex. Cultural identity is something that defines who you are, what you believe, how you behave, what you eat, what you wear, etc. Seems distinctively complicated. Almost everyone seems to define themselves easily. Me, I seem to only scratch the surface of who I am. First of all, I can say that my race is somewhat stereotypical. I am Filipino and some of the…

IT HAD BECOME his habit, during their weeks of isolation, that upon rising he immediately went and checked on Lorelei. He would knock gently on her door, enter without waiting for her re-ply, and light the fire in the fireplace before opening the drapes. She would raise herself up on her el-bows, smile warmly at him and wait for him to help her with her morning privy. There were times, later, during the day that he marveled at having such intimate knowledge of a woman’s body. He never dreamed…

Does it pay to live a good time when in time of need of distress? I am very much familiar and aware of the movie, Life Of Pi. The movie was released in 2012, I heard form my fiends that theres was a book previously written about it too, as in many cases this goes the same for movies. Both the movie and book is about a young boy Pi Patel. He loose his mother, father and brother in a sudden hurricane storm. He is stranded on a make shift boat with a tiger. Yes, a tiger, many may question this…

When it comes to the US border, the “southwest border has been turned into a zone of abandonment. It is a place where their lives are being forsaken to the point of death” (Inda, 2002). The facts and statistics are truly disheartening. The US health care system does not provide adequate opportunities for Immigrant Latino families. This leads many families to be uninsured. Let’s face it. Everyone…
