Carson McCullers’s novel The Heart is a Lonely Hunter can be read as a religious allegory that validates why people depend on religion and religious figures through the symbolism of John Singer as a religious figure. This struggle is portrayed with the interaction between Singer, whom is romanticized in a religious way, and other characters such as Dr. Copeland and Mick Kelly. As a man who opposes religion and his family’s religious beliefs, Dr. Copeland seeks comfort and consoling nearly…

The Making of the World, good and bad were embodied by the deities of Tawiskarong and Tijuskeha. It was the moment where Tijuskeha, while in the womb, was compliant with natural birth that it shows how obedience was shown as good in contrast to Tawiskarong, who had disagreed with natural birth and killed his mother…

On their journey to find death, the three brothers come across an infinitely old man. They ask him for directions to death, and he tells them of a tree where he had last come into contact with death. After the brother’s part ways with him, he is never mentioned again in this tale or in any of the others told throughout the overall text. The presence of old men in literature are often portrayed as wise, god-like, or as a magician who is very wise. However, the man that Chaucer writes about…

A Comparison of Native Creation Stories “Turtle Island” and “The One About Coyote Going West” are native creation stories that reflect the culture and beliefs of the people. The stories attempt to explain the unexplainable with aspects of magic and other worldly powers. These stories come from different time periods, use different names for divine creators and have different animals to tell the story.

As a hospital chaplain, I occasionally led the weekly group meetings about spirituality on the Psych Unit. One week, a resident named Dee joined us. Dee shared that she did not believe there could possibly be a God because if God was real, then she would never have felt as lonely as she did at the deepest point in her depression. While in that room, surrounded by people like Dee who chose to share their faith journey and support one another, I bore witness to God’s presence in Dee’s life.…

Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield have been shot at six times by a revolver. Not a single bullet scrapes them. They are safe and alive. Both of them proceed to argue over the significance of the event. Vincent argues that it was just a lucky coincidence. Jules argues that it was divine intervention. Divine intervention has been in belief ever since religion came to be. It is the belief that God or Gods come down to meddle with the natural order in order to save someone. Divine intervention is not…

Ethic I normally don 't admit this, but I like to argue. Usually I can keep my thoughts to myself, but lately I have been getting frustrated with people because they always agree with each other even though evidence or proof is lacking. Things that are said are accepted, and no good discussions occur. That is when I begin to play the devil 's advocate even if I know that the majority is correct. For example, I know that people should be stewards of the earth; in fact, most people I know also…

The piece of artwork that I chose to further engaged myself in as well as analyze is, Head of a Male Deity (Deva), which it originates from Thailand, specifically in the Lamphun Province. This piece in particular was created during the Haripunjaya period, which makes it approximately from the 11th/12th century Terracotta. Although the description just beside the piece did not mention the composition, it is clear that the piece is made out of some form of clay-like structure. I am assuming this…

In the same way, “Master Cat: Puss in Boots” is similar to the other two tales in the way that the characters gain what they intend to because Master Cat receives respect from his master. Master Cat wants to become respected by his master because in the beginning of the tale his master says that he is experiencing the bad end of the deal by receiving a worthless cat. But, Master Cat wants to prove his master wrong, and show that he will bring good fortune to his master. Master Cat identifies…
