Last Judgment

When growing up in the United States many have heard throughout their childhood that “society here is equal”. This, however, is untrue in many ways.

For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you”. In The Fosters Mariana Foster has the choice of being Isabella’s god mother but in order to do so she has to be baptized so that she won’t go to hell.…

This video was a statement declaring her happiness with who she is despite the judgment from others in a society where your image, your cultural values, and what is viewed as acceptable and appropriate behavior is looked down upon.

This gave people the opportunity to see what type of person she was. On the back of the Allegiant novel, it says “One choice will define you.” This is very true. One choice defines who we are as a person, good or bad. Tris’s last choice did define her. it showed the type of person she was. She was the type of person who believed the best way to show a person you love them is to sacrifice yourself. She was the type of person who would easily protect her brother and chose to…

Extra Credit #2 Knowing about your personality is what this extra credit was about. Filling out the questionnaire was a bit confusing or let’s say difficult for me because I felt like both of the choices contained somewhat of my personality.

“The Ministers Black Veil”: Judgement and People in Disguise In the story “The Ministers Black Veil” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author reflects on how much people will judge a person on their appearance and what they are going through. Today, what a person wear, how they dress, or the way they act shows if they will be accepted by others.

Some people are good hearted people and…

Critical Reading: “The Blind Man” We live in a society where people are solely judged by their appearance. We allow the media and the internet to develop our opinions. Most of us no longer take the time to get to know each other and it's rather unfortunate.
