What do you think about when you hear the phrase, Christlike attributes? Personally, I think about the many wonderful and amazing qualities Jesus Christ has. Then I remember how we have been told to follow and become more like our Savior. However, becoming more like Him is a whole lot easier said than done. Today, I want to talk about how, if we develop these attributes, then we can receive so many blessings. So what are Christlike attributes? How can we develop them? How can developing…

Similarly Macario’s director is also careful in the composition of scenes that include religious figures such as the Devil and God in order to demonstrate their power. When the Devil appears, the camera uses a wide angle and the Devil walks in from the upper corner of the image. Later on, the camera captures the Devil from a low angle in mid and close-up shots.

Giving up can better be defined as the ceasing of belief that something you wish to happen might be possible. In the autobiography Night written by Elie Wiesel, a Jew during World War II, who was sent to a concentration camp, we witness an example of a prisoner of war giving up. Wiesel has strength until the very end of his journey and right before liberation by the americans he looses hope as his father passes away. In life, many prisoners give up hope because of the fear they will never see…

Rufus 's thoughts in response to Andrew 's rant were written of as the following: “He was glad he did not like Father Jackson and he wished his mother did not like him either, but that was not all. His uncle had talked about God, and Christians, and faith, with as much hatred as he seemed, a minute before, to talk with reverence or even with love” (308). The destructive force of religion is apparent in this section; Father Jackson 's submergence into the funeral processions…
