Ginsberg dabbles in and discusses topics that include some controversial subjects in America: religion and communism. These controversial subjects, along with Ginsberg’s use of clever diction and sarcasm, criticize America and its American ideals, making it seem as if the country’s fears are ironic and childish. A common theme throughout the poem is…

Affair-Proof Marriages Affair-proofing a marriage cannot be done if couples hide their heads in the sand. Some spouses believe that their spouse is the exception or “different”, and would never take part in an affair despite unmet needs may receive a devastating shock one day (Harley, 2011, p. 20). The reality is that no marriage is beyond penetration (Shriver & Shriver, 2009, p. 101). According to Gary and Mona Shriver (2009), “The self-assurance that this is one area we could never fall into…

Grace Alone, 52). The orthodox doctrine and order of the traditional Conferentie was no longer accepted; rather Frelinghuysen replaced order of worship and fixed prayer with a pietism that encouraged experiential religion and sinner’s guilt (By Grace Alone, 48-49). Additionally, Frelinghuysen disregarded a traditional understanding of the Lord’s Table; instead, he expected everyone to have an inner conversion first and only be admitted to receive the sacrament if they have done so (The Dutch…

One of the most memorable moments of World War II (WWII) is, without a doubt, the Holocaust. People tend to talk about the millions of lives that were lost but many fail to mention the people who helped defeat the Nazis. “Like a number of other celebrities, Audrey Hepburn helped fight against the Axis Powers during WWII,” (1). Audrey Hepburn was best known for her starring roles in the movies Sabrina, Funny Face, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady, and Roman Holiday. Not many people are aware…

“A Child Called ‘It’”, by Dave Pelzer, is a novel about the author’s fight through a disturbing and abused childhood. The novel starts with Dave telling us about the last day at his Mother’s house before he was rescued by law enforcement. At first, I could not understand why he started the novel with the end of his story, but after finishing the novel, it was clear to me that it was easier to read it knowing there actually was a light at the end of the tunnel. Pelzer’s story tells us what…

The widely accepted definition of a tragic hero, a literary character who makes a judgement error that inevitably results in their destruction, was conceived by Aristotle. Aristotle's tragic hero must experience a flaw in judgement (hamartia), a reversal of fortune (peripeteia), and a realization that they caused their lot (anagnorisis); they ultimately receive a fate much harsher than deserved due to their hubris. John Proctor, the protagonist of Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible is this…

assessment was relatively accurate. When I find myself in the position of having to make a decision with a group of people, it is my policy to make sure that everyone understands why we are there and what needs to be accomplished. I begin and end with prayer. I believe that everyone at the table is entitled to speak and there are no stupid questions. I also am very mindful of attitudes and tones and from the start ask that everyone be respectful of one another, nine out of ten times I end up…
