Just Like Heaven

Dante continues throughout the prayer to continue to use the word “you.” He is thanking Beatrice for what she has done, and much of what he attributes to her work is incredibly Christ-like. He thanks her for his salvation, asks for her “power and charity” and “magnificence” so that, when he returns to heaven, his soul might please her, and thanks her for healing his soul (88-89). These actions would be difficult for any true mortal to accomplish. However, Christ is meant to have accomplished…

an event similar to what happened after their children’s deaths happening to Annie, once again. Contrastively, Dante’s and Chris’s journeys are in opposite ways; Dante goes “up” through Inferno and to Paradiso, while Chris’s journey is “down” from “heaven” to “hell,” signifying a difference between the source material and the…

landscape of no man’s land, I could see a multitude of other Reapers going about their work like silent shades amongst the dead and dying in the trenches. Scenes painted by wars such as this one made busy work days for the likes of we haunted few, perhaps I knew some of those flitting apparitions,…

powerful and I appreciate how they mentioned those topics that surround and engulf our media today. However, I did have some issues with the experience. Me, being a believer in Christ I realize that some people just need to hear the gospel more direct than others.

Desperation and rejection are the perpetual feelings of souls in hell, like being right outside of an exclusive celebration and knowing there is no chance of being let in for all eternity. As well as being a state of mind, it is also a physical reality. In this place, the senses are continually hounded with the most repulsive…

(Homer 399), we begin to see the makings of a truly epic hero since “no man has ever sailed to the land of Death” (Homer 400). No normal mortal would ever be able to accomplish such a feat, but Odysseus surpasses the bonds of normality. Odysseus is just a mortal who should be incapable of such extraordinary capabilities, but as an epic hero he “addressed the blurred and breathless dead” (Homer 402). Another important interaction happens for Odysseus during his journey to Hades when he sees the…

A student who struggles to read and understand poetry struggles all the way through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise, just to find a few tidbits of information.
