The depth of a person's character is based on how truthful he/she is. This is true in both O.Henry “Retrieved Reformation” and in Saki’s “The Hound’s Of Fate”. A Retrieved Reformation is about a man who fate drives him to becoming good and put his devious ways behind. The Hound’s of Fate is about a man who seeks devious and manipulative ways though he is given multiple chances to become honest. Saki and O.Henry use characterization of Jimmy and Stoner to reveal that the depth of a person may not…

abused, they will always feel like it was their fault or that they deserved it. If this is the case, their self-worth will be severely damaged because they will form their own explanations as to why they are being treated that way. Abuse is never good for a developing mind, so if a child is able to avoid it, their self-worth will be greatly helped. When self-worth is high, one of the spiritual organs…

It tells us about Lewis struggle in life, especially after he loses his most loving wife Joy Davidson due to cancer. Reading the book, one will see how a believer of God journeys through negative moments of belief, reflecting on his faith, then realizing the fault in it which enables Lewis to purify his faith. In the first chapter of this book, Lewis…

of good in the world exceeds the amount of evil and the scale will be tipped in the favor of good, rather than evil. Therefore, the net value of the world would be inherently good. Moreover, the addition of evil into our world actually maximizes the amount of good we see in our world and results in a higher net good. If we lived in a world with no evil, we would have a low level of “good” as humans would be living very mundane lives. However, with the introduction of evil, the amount of good…

would want, yet it is for their own good. Pertaining to Swinburne’s claim, the answer is “yes” there are similarities in the metaphor, but there are also some problems. A good, ideal parent knows when to stop pushing his/her child, and regulate whatever the goal is. However, for God, when does he know when we or he has reached our limit? He may be omniscient, but does that mean when he pushes us past our limits, that he is doing this on purpose? Being not as wholly good as we thought he was?…

Therefore, nature is probably the work of a designer” (Evans, 2009). God cannot be explained or defined, and He cannot be put into a neat little box of answers to all of man’s questions. Attempting to explain God’s nature and all that encompasses Him, His intelligence, character, and supernatural powers, would be futile and unfeasible. It would be impossible to explain everything that encompasses God, and attempting to do so would probably take an eternity. Acknowledging that human beings are…

1969 was a year with a distinct economic, social, political, and intellectual atmosphere. After the end of World War II in 1945, the US experienced great economic prosperity lasting until the 1970s where sound employment could be obtained relatively easily for both skilled and unskilled work. The affluence this created also caused a baby boom where birth rates temporarily increased, and in 1969, many of those born in the baby boom now made up 8 million young adults going though college. This…

In the “Roundtable Discussion on the Problem of Evil”, Meghan Sullivan, Trent Dougherty, and Sam Newlands discuss the Problem of Evil for theism. All three people do not take the side of a theist or an atheist, but instead discuss the problem from a mostly objective view. The Problem of Evil is also discussed by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and William Craig in God? A Debate Between a Christian and an Atheist, where Sinnott-Armstrong argues from the atheist’s point of view and Craig argues from the…

to grips with the nature of his God who, in Job’s experience, attacked him without cause and then maintained a stony silence. We also encounter him in the unenviable position of rejecting the well-meaning advice of three notable men who had come a good distance to comfort him through his ordeal and…
