It is not an easy job, because most of the times it is all about them and what the City can help them to get. This way…

speaker used metaphor to describe, the man who was about to attack her, how big and dangerous he was along with his truck. The first stanza gave us the impression that the encounter between the speaker and the attacker is like an encounter between Goliath and David. The poem gave us the imagery that how the speaker was in a frightening/ dangerous situation where no one was there to help. The speaker sounds angry and frustrated about society especially men. In the second stanza where a man…

The decisions, motivations, and experiences had by these kings show significant differences and the…

There is a prevailing belief that to be religious is to be content with the truth of the Word of God. While I do not contest this, what I would suggest it that the prevalent understanding of the Word of God has been severely limited. The Word is not simply the text itself, but the context surrounding it--the context of its writing, the purpose being addressed, and the relevance of it. All these would require an understanding of the world to be able to situate it properly. In fact, this is…
