The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a well-known organization that strives to improve the lives of injured veterans. The organization works hard to eliminate issues injured service members face after they have given so much in the service of our country. Since WWP is a non-profit organization, they are not concerned with profit in classic sense. The “profit” is earned in the benefits injured service members gain by the organization’s efforts.

When I was first given this assignment, I had trouble deciding who to write the paper on. For years, I’ve fought a mental battle, trying to prevent people from influencing me— I want to have my own opinions and beliefs.

I knew who to write my paper on. An important influence in my life has been my older brother, Matthew…

went there.’ (Page 45). This recalls the parable of the wedding feast (Matthew 22:1-14), in which, lacking invited guests, the king sends his soldiers out to the highways to gather revelers. This allusion is resumed when Nick states that "I [Nick] had been actually invited" (Page 45). The parable concludes with the reflection that "many are called, but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14). At the party, one of the girls states that Gatsby "‘He doesn’t want any trouble with ANYbody.’" (Page 48). Jesus…

Matthew 7, in addition to emphasizing Jesus’ strong historical/cultural message on the Mount, makes use of some very poignant and effective literary devices to enhance and emphasize the message. Jesus is the one using these literary devices, as he concludes His Sermon on the Mount. Jesus uses a variety of metaphors, personifications, and parables to illustrate his message to and to teach the crowd in a coherent way that resonates with them. In verse 15, Jesus makes the notable comparison between…

Those found guilty will be hurled into the burning lake of fire and sulphur along with death and Hades…

This paper will incorporate biblical references as well as scholarly commentary to define, identify…
