In the beginning of the book Huck Finn contains many of the morals that he was taught by the people with whom he grew up around. These included many attitudes about slavery and racism. Once Huck leaves on the raft…

In Ted Kolderie’s review “Young People are All Right: The Problem is Adolescence”, he writes that The Dumbest Generation by Mark Bauerlein is a book that is an assault on anyone under the age of thirty. He mentioned how in his book, Bauerlein went over “how little people under thirty know, how little they read, and how their fascination with screens (television and computer) fails to produce learning.” He then talked about how the author is upset with the “digital enthusiasts” and those who tell…

On a recent trip to New York City, I was privileged to see the legendary St. Patrick’s Cathedral for myself. Having been raised in a Protestant tradition- I was surprised by how deeply I was moved by this experience. The majesty, rituals and traditions of The Catholic Church have always held me in awe. My brothers and sisters from my Dad’s first marriage were all raised Catholic- had rosaries, first communions and Godparents, went to catechism, Catholic schools and midnight masses...it all…

it because currently within the project, the airplane has faced multiple issues with its engine and also has never been used in combat. In addition, there are further alternatives to the F-35 Lightning, including other advanced planes such as the F-16 and F/A-18 (Ehley 3). Also in the military sector, my budget calls for another cut of $20 million. The plan proposed to allow this cut is bringing in…

The act of bridge building has changed the course of the world. Without bridges we wouldn’t be able to cross large bodies of water that previously prevented us from growing as a nation and expanding into worlds we once thought was held back from us. The construction of a bridge does more than link two pieces of land together. It exemplifies the notion that we will not be held back by the power of mother nature. While also changeling us to expand into realms through creativity and reason. The…

Much of Lockheed Martin’s success can be attributed to their leadership in defense throughout the company’s lifetime. However, it is one of the biggest problems the company faces as the times start changing. The only way for them to keep their powerful position in defense while also becoming more independent from that being their biggest source of income, is through innovation and globalization. Though Lockheed Martin has been largely successful, a majority has been due to the fact that…

proclaimed the “Troubadour” (Messiah) by the Earthmaker (God). Throughout the story, the Singer proclaims the Star Song, the Word of God, and is in constant conflict with the World Hater (Devil). The Singer shares several similarities with the Gospel of Mark: Mark’s portrait of Jesus is “The Suffering Servant” as shown through 8:31, 9:31& 9:12 where Jesus states that the Son of Man will suffer by man. The story portrays this when the Singer is speaking to his mother about how he will suffer and…

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain chronicles the struggles of a young boy growing up in a society with the odds stacked against him, and yet he becomes a highly moral character. The failings of society put young Huck Finn into an unavoidable position of needing to grow up too fast and his upbringing in an immoral culture forces him to teach himself right from wrong. As Twain wrote, the deformed conscienous Huck developed from society was overtaken by the development of his strong…

Unlike the other Gospel accounts he mentions that Jesus spent a night in prayer before choosing his apostles (Luke 6:12-16). Other Gospel accounts show a different focus when portraying Christ. Titles attributed to Jesus that were also included in Mark and Matthew where Christ/Messiah, Son of God, Son of Man, Son of David, and King of Jews. In Luke there was new emphasis that Jesus was Lord of Israel and all nations. That he was also…
