Through the stories of genesis, the allegory of the cave, and Teresa of Avila we are asked to examine our relationship to god and the world around us. Through examining these texts further we are asked our true meaning in life. The story of Genesis introduces our relationship with god and the world he has created around us. The allegory of the cave has and in depth look at the world around us, and our relationship to it. With this comes the question it asks us to reexamine everything we know to…

Lewis’ The Horse and His Boy, for example, and J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan and Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden. I mean, I thought these books were fantastic when I was younger! Upon re-reading them, however, I have discovered, instead, that they are all fantastically xenophobic. Consider, for example, the following exchange between Mary, the protagonist of The Secret Garden, and Mary’s maidservant Martha: “It is different in India,” said Mistress Mary disdainfully. […] “Eh! I can see…

has ivy vines all around the room, with a tree trunk in the middle. The room is similar to her mother’s room and she is asking why there is a room like this in her uncle’s house? She asks questions to the gardener who tells her that it’s a secret garden belonging to her late aunt. He said it has been locked up ever since she has passed. Mary wants to know why no one has taken care of the room and why are there plants being grown inside? The final element I chose is voice and movement. Voice and…

essence in "The Cask of Amontillado" may imply the fame of live-entombment writing in Poe's period (Anna Sheets Nesbitt, 2000). Pride or Repentance: Pride is known as man's most noteworthy sin since it was pride that prompted Adam and Eve's fall in the Garden of Eden. It is too the transgression of Montresor and Fortunato in Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Cask of Amontillado." Montresor has been offended by Fortunato, and his pride drives him to…

An Author’s writings reflects his beliefs. One of the many examples of this is Paradise Lost, a poetic representation of the creation and fall of man in the Garden of Eden written by Protestant clergyman, John Milton. It is not a completely accurate portrayal, since many of Milton’s descriptions and theories do not coincide with the Bible. Instead, it is simply a peek into Milton’s imagination of what it might have been like. Paradise Lost, despite being fictional, is heavily based on Milton’s…

That’s what happened in the garden of Eden. But prior to this in-cident occurring Lucifer, was expelled or as we like to say kicked out of heaven because he wanted to be God. He was created by God and he wanted to be God to be worshipped as God was being worshipped by the angels he had created. But God is God and he will not share his glory with another. Earth became corrupt because of the pronouncement of God upon it. Man would now have to live by the sweat of his brow. No longer could he walk…

In the Year 1652 John Milton went completely blind while trying to write an epic poem that would justify the ways of God to men. The action of writing Paradise Lost was a desperate attempt to draw people back to God as they began to flock towards science. In this attempt Milton tried to explain why God would allow evil to exist, and harm his people. Despite Milton’s efforts to paint God in a good light the readers of his poem have interpreted his writing in several different ways. Some who study…

In the beginning, there was Adam and Eve. They lived in the Garden of Eden where all their needs were met and thrived in the purity and goodness of God. One day, unfortunately, Eve was deceived by the serpent and she ate the fruit of knowledge between good and evil. Her purity was stripped from her at that moment and was thrown into the world of sin. Whether you categorize yourself as a religious person or not, the story of Eve and the forbidden fruit is a familiar story. The story is so…

The Bible, in contrast, begins its consideration of suffering not with innocence but with guilt. It reminds us that we live in a fallen world, a sinful world that “groaneth and travaileth in pain” (Rom 8:22) under God’s curse and judgment. God had promised death to both Adam and Eve on the day that they disobeyed Him and ate the forbidden fruit. However, ‘death’ in a final sense was postponed when Adam was allowed to live on earth for 900 years. Hence, for as long as we live in this sin-cursed…

In the movie, The Wizard of Oz, based on the novel written by L. Frank Baum, the scarecrow claimed he did not have any brains, but throughout the story, we can identify that as a false statement. As Dorothy and the scarecrow were skipping along the yellow brick road, they came into a woods that contained apple trees, in which then Dorothy realizes how hungry she was from her journey. As soon as Dorothy attempted to pick an apple from the tree, the tree got very upset and started to throw apples…
