1. She is not guilty of the sin of gluttony in the sense that she overeats; she is guilty of this sin in the sense that she desires to get her own way. 2. The “All-I-want” state of mind is a state of mind in which a person wants things done to their liking. This serves the devil’s agenda by setting humans up to sin. One can delude oneself into believing that he is behaving morally. 3. Screwtape identifies monogamy or abstention as the “dilemma” God has placed humans in regarding sexual…

The Protagonists Differences of Love and Correlation of Isolation The themes of love and isolation are common throughout many literary works, but perhaps usually don’t come to mind when reading graphic novels. In Boxers & Saints, by Gene Luen Yang, main characters Bao and Four-Girl are motivated by separate goals: Bao is focused on ridding foreign devils from China, while Four-Girl aspires to become one. Their goals differ, but nonetheless, both are driven by a love for what they do—whether…

I will focus mainly on in Lynn Hunt’s Inventing Human Rights: A History is the seemingly implausible claim of how epistolary novels became the sole factor that helped ignite the spark of the human rights movement during the Enlightenment era. Although empathy is needed for one to support the cause of the human rights movement, it is highly doubtful that it rooted solely from the epistolary novels. Hunt’s point is easy to be refuted, as she claims something that is so tedious — how is it possible…

Pamela and I are both young women with a penchant for written English living in a man’s world. Obviously, her case is more severe; given her clear-cut role as a servant and woman, it makes it next to impossible for her to speak out about her exploitation. Luckily, in the 21st century, we are making progress and pushing certain boundaries. However, these gender biases and standards are still prevalent today since they are so deeply woven into our culture. I admire Pamela’s strong set of morals.…

“Truth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.” This quote by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel is something that I believe ties the writings together. This, paired with specific ideas expressed by Hegel (self-realization, the growth of knowledge of one’s self) is what can be taken from the novel. The novel Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder is about a girl named Sophie, who grows in her knowledge of herself and philosophy by pondering life’s big questions. These questions…

In the published ending of Jane Austen’s Persuasion, the character of Anne speaks much more as compared to the original ending written. One may find this to be inconsistent with the rest of this book, however it can be shown that she must speak more for her character to progress correctly. When reading through this book we become accustomed to Anne being the silent character, leading us to feel like something is wrong when she begins to speak more. Due to this we are naturally drawn to question…

When we mention the theme of a book or a novel, we are discussing about a general idea, lesson, or message that can be seen through the entire story. The events in the book may be very interesting, or exciting, but without the universal connection to human, they will not grab our attention in any real way. A novel of Magaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale, is highly considered as a stimulating work of feminist dystopian fiction that examines the cultural construction of fertility, rebellion,…

Jane Elliot is an anti-racism activist, “in the human rights revolution, if something isn 't done, and done in a hurry, to bring the colored peoples of the world out of their long years of poverty, their long years of hurt and neglect, the whole world is doomed”. This is a line from Martin Luther King, Jr’s last speech, “I’ve been to the mountain top”. Jane Elliot didn’t become ‘the’ Jane Elliot until Martin Luther King, Jr was assonated at the end of this exact speech. Jane took ownership of…
