I Will Not Bow

I sat across from him, not daring to look up. I stared at my fishing pole, dipping it in and out of the water like a fish flopping in and out of the ocean. The vibration on my lips distracted me from the situation at hand. The rain pounded on my fisherman’s hat, like a shower of bullets. I began to hum. A monotonous tune. Soon I caught a glimpse of Tim, he appeared distraught and confused. His eyes darted left, then right, up, then down, and up again. “What is he thinking about?” I thought to…

Revolutionary War. What many do not know is that near the end of his life, he made another statement of greater significance: “‘I have now disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had that and I had not given them one shilling, they would be rich; and if they had not that, and I have given them all the world, they would be poor.’” (Tom Holladay, The Relationship Principles of Jesus, Zondervan,…

except for me I was still in pain from giving birth to you and you making up bow made me almost pass out. Before I could pass out, I saw your father catch you then you began to cry.” No one must know I possess this power because it isn’t right I am not supposed to have it. I always ask God why, what am I, please I know you're there what is this, I beg please tell me. All I hear is “You’ll see your purpose one day. You’re not evil. You do not belong to him. You belong to me.” And I never…

much of mine own. Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs;”. ( i, i 193-197). This is how Romeo responds to Benvolio when he asks what’s wrong. He goes on like this for the rest of the scene making the picture of love look like a sniveling teenage boy who doesn’t even really want true love. “With Cupid’s arrow. She hath Dian’s wit, And, in strong proof of chastity well armed, From love’s weak childish bow she lives uncharmed.” (i,i 217-219). After finally admitting who he is in love with, to…

I stood nervously backstage while waiting for the orchestra to finish getting seated for our last concert of the season. I peeked through the curtains and saw a blur of dark unfamiliar faces, all waiting for the music to start. I quickly looked back from the curtain and my hands started to get clammy. My chest felt tight and the butterflies in my stomach would not quit fluttering. “Why did I sign up for this?” I thought uneasily. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see my…

this Shakespeare meant that because of the unkindness from this person, he will be able to revenge without feeling guilt (Edmondson and Wells, 41). In line two and three, where the writer says that “and for that sorrow, which I then did feel” (3)” needs must my transgression bow”. He remembers the sorrow the crime has caused. By this, he puts himself in his offender’s shoes and tries to…

The loudest voice echoes and vibrates of its surrounding, but the still small voice is a calling to the heart. After I read The Sacred Romance by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge, my understanding of human relationships with God was fundamentally altered. Humans were created to be in love with God, it is humanity’s nature that people turn their back on God. In this act of rebellion people are wounded in a concept explained by arrows. These arrows are shot from the enemy, who utilizes arrow to…

military and political power. Despite the apparent modernisation of the native Irish forces it is not hard to find articles and attitudes which view the war as a contest of the backward and militarily weak Irish, against the modern armies of Elizabeth I. The historian John Keegan noted that, the way a person fought was a cultural expression. Following on from this, the image of primitive and obsolete styles of warfare by the native Irish could imply a culture which was also archaic and…

why did you leave me, I thought to myself as I silently weeped alone in my chamber. Even my only son, Telemachus, foolishly departed from Ithaca in search of his father. Fortunately, I had just received news that he has returned from his adventure, however, without his father. The thought of Odysseus lost and alone made me tremble and wail. Nineteen years. No sight of him, no sign from him, nothing! Hearing an appalling discussion coming from downstairs in the palace, I suddenly cease my…
