Forsaken

A famous oration was spoken by Chief Seattle, who emits his affection and concern toward his land and Native American tribes as they will soon be perished. Recently, Governor Isaac I. Stevens acquired official orders to buy land from Chief Seattle. As a response, this oration was composed in order to serve as an acknowledgement toward the Governor’s demand. The oration was well composed with rhetorical devices used to convey the speaker’s message. Nonetheless, the main purpose of the oration is…

America “...was a scene so dreadfully hideous, so abominably bleak and forlorn…” that it descended the desire of a man to “...a macabre and depressing joke.” From cities in Arizona to New York and everything in between, he believes that these “...God-forsaken villages...” are the “...most unlovely towns of the world.” This taking the meaning of this “ugliness” to a whole new extent since there are a bountiful amount of other…

'Musée des Beaux Arts' and 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus' are ekphrasis; the poems are about the Icarus painting. In 'Musée des Beaux Arts', Arden uses two paintings to express what he wants people to know about life and how the most significant or famous events takes place are insignificant during then. In 'Landscape with the Fall of Icarus', the structure is very simple and has little punctuation; this leaves the reader to interpret the poem their own way. In 'Musée des Beaux Arts',…

The well-known opening scene with the three men standing, waiting for the train serves as an overture to the motion picture. The moderate developments, joined by the hints of dribbling water, a squeaking windmill and a humming fly, generally mirrors the fairly slow pace of the story. The sudden upheavals of violence are declared by the coming of the train where the harmonica man appeared at the station, they traded eye looks and head signals demonstrating they really know of each other and what…

1. Horses and guns gave warfare more advancement. Horses enable the Shoshonis to travel to trade places faster than before. The Shoshonis also fights while riding on the horses. Guns target the enemies if it is shot at close distance. The Shoshonis and Blackfeet fight differently than before. Before the use of horses and guns, they used spears and running to attack their enemies. Now it is all about using horses and firearms to attack the opponents. 2. The tribe that have more guns and…

One is that he wants us to really understand what it means to live by His command. If we follow His word we will not be forsaken, but instead we will be rewarded. “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Keep this Book of the Law always…

Psalms 27:10, “For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord will take me in” (Psalms). Isaiah 1:17, “Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow” (Isaiah). I, Emily Kennedy, will prove to my fellow classmates that mandatory sterilization of unfit mothers should be legal for Mrs. Steffey’s English Language and Composition final. After personally witnessing three innocent children being abandoned by their mother, I was…

If Christ played with doubt, so must we. If Christ spent an anguished night in prayer, if He burst out from the Cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" then surely we are also permitted doubt. But we must move on. To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation."Pi feels that agnostics are weak, unable to move on with their life and have conviction…

The four kinds of monks being: the cenobites, that is those who belong to a monastery, where they serve under a rule and an abbot; anchorites (or hermits) who have already persevered in the cenobitic life of the monastery; sarabaites, who have forsaken the monastery and essentially make up the rules as they go; and the gyrovagues who are wanderers and “slaves to their own wills and gross appetites. In every way they are worse than the sarabaites” (RB 1.1-11).…
