Not to say that it is necessarily “bad”, with all the possible interpretations, which bring about the book’s own sense of mystery, and actually decent characterization, perhaps it is worthwhile. But, nonetheless; the most boring, unexciting book I have ever feasted (or perhaps forcefully overindulged) my eyes upon. I guess it just wasn’t quite my cup of sea. This novella was written by Ernest Hemingway, who is…

academically, as well as religiously. Unfortunately, when studying it, scholars must keep in mind the problems involved in the process of studying the Hebrew Bible. One of these issues is the fact that the events being recorded in the Hebrew bible occurred many thousands of years ago, and there are very limited resources or evidence that we can use to verify or compare to what is written in the Hebrew Bible. Another issue that arises is the fact that the original text is written in Hebrew, and…

1. In response to the analogy that the US’s “Monroe Doctrine” over the Caribbean Sea and China’s claim to the South China Sea, the US should point out that the circumstances of China’s claim is different to the US when the Monroe Doctrine was declared. Obviously, the United States and the claimants of these areas have special interest in the area in the same way that China has. Also, when the US stated the Doctrine, the states affected by it accepted it and was not opposed to American…
