Jersey Devil

Moreover, the poem states that “there are so many ways to be deceived”(17), giving examples of a “butcher's thumb pressed into the scale”(17) and “a strange blue dress / in a bathtub”(17-18) being that the devil uses the blue dress as a sort of cover as the dress symbolizes a calm and peace nature. The poem also says to not aim for eloquence, but for honesty and that one should surround ourselves with people who constantly question what their sense of truth…

Charlotte cowered beneath the worn sheet, she heard an inhuman sound near the chamber door,—the sudden silence of darkness had rendered it more audible than it had been before. The thing, came nearer and nearer; it grew clearer and clearer. For a time it was still,—and during that time Charlotte doubt if she even drew her breath. She began to move the sheet, slowly-- very, very slowly, so that it might not draw the attention of the beast. She realized the horror in her mistake of trying to glace…

"But how..?" It was a reasonable question, although one Amaimon had not intended to let slip from him, but the words had tumbled out long before he could stop them. Samael had been so strong, so powerful....who or what could have killed him. Lucifer? The two always argued and sure every now and then they had exchanged a few blows, but those were small scuffles and verbal fights....how could it have gotten to the point of murder? And if it had, wouldn't there have been evidence, or even just…

When a warrior is fighting in a battle it is essential that he be provided with a shield to protect him from harms way. As college students it is crucial that we are carrying a shield of faith with us throughout our everyday lives, adding more layers to that shield, making it stronger. In Ephesians 6:16 it states, “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” There is much wickedness that dwells throughout the world. We need to…

After being exiled from Heaven, Satan suddenly awakens in Hell, chained near the lake of fire. He finds Beelzebub next to him and begins a discussion about their fate and new path for himself and his followers. Satan and Beelzebub escape from the lake of fire and praise themselves about it. Then the monologue of Satan begins. The verses of 242 to 263 emphasize the theme of hierarchy and order in the universe and Satan’s disobedience and revolt against it. The passage can be divided into three…

important aspects that the film incorporates in order to enhance the theme of religion are the intertextual references for the depiction of the devil. The intertextual description of devil in the hypotext’s of Greek mythology, The Odyssey and the Bible enhance and provide further meaning to the character of Sheriff Cooley. In image 1, Everett describes the devil as “red and scaly with a bifurcated tail” who carries “a hay fork”. However, Tommy Johnson swiftly interrupts by saying “Oh, no. No,…

Angel's blood runs through my veins, but demon's blood infuses it. It has been years upon years of experimenting on myself to try and unleash the true power possessed by both demon and angel. My passion has been thought to be lost since, but I truly know I haven't changed. Those against me are merely afraid of my immense power. The Morgenstern name would be remembered for generations to come. I infused demon blood into my first son with the intent of unleashing power, giving him a dark aura that…

Satan’s moment of introspection was perplexing to me. Satan admitted his obsessive drive for revenge is self-destructive, but he still continues with his plan. “Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long back on itself recoils. Let it; I reck not, so it light well aimed, Since higher I fall short, on him who next Provokes my envy, this new favorite Of Heaven, this man of clay, son of despite, Whom, us the more to spite, his Maker raised From dust: spite then with spite is best repaid” (2791…

The word of god says if you had heeded my commands, then you peace would flow like a river. He also states happy are ye that keep my commands. The essence of these words are simply foolishness to the unconverted heart. For those however; who have tasted and seen that god is good it is life unto them.
