Jonathan Edward author of “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was convinced that men are already sentenced to go to hell and we’re just hanging by the grip of his hand. Two men with very distinguished points of view, but in the end which one is true? What would you prefer, to be your own god like Emerson suggest or follow every rule of a book…

In Chapter 94 of Moby-Dick, “A Squeeze of the Hand,” Melville exposes the reader to the bizarre and coveted substance that catalyzed the rapid expansion of the whaling industry. Spermaceti is a waxy, oil-like substance produced in the spermaceti organ in the skull of the sperm whale.

Since the spermaceti organ, a…

I have always imagined that there was more to the culture and history of Native Americans than just what I was taught in school; for that reason, In the Hands of the Great Spirit by Jake Page attracted me.

One of…

The article, “As a Weapon in the Hands of the Restless Poor”, by Earl Shorris was an eye opening piece for me as it displayed the absence of education in the lives of individuals living in poor regions.
