way through the initial segment of Angels in America. While on the subject of relinquishment and detachment, we should discuss Prior and Harper. At first glance, these two are unique. What does a gay man wiped out with AIDS share a commonality with Mormon homemaker? Overall, for reasons unknown, a great deal. One fascinating association between these two is the way they're both attached to the topic of "Renditions of Reality." Throughout the play, Prior has been having abnormal otherworldly…

Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits written David Wong takes place in two contrasting areas. To begin with, the novel starts out in the countryside of Colorado and later transfers to a fictional city named Tabula Rasa. Tabula Rasa is a city much like Las Vegas only with fewer restrictions.

reluctance on fear of the outside world and her emotional problems; while, Harper condemns their marriage and blames her emotional problems on living with him, his secrets and lies (Kushner 27), and labels them as “pretend-happy” (Kushner 23). As Mormons, key-terms “obligation”, “responsibility”, and “love” implicitly juxtapose the politics of law and religion that epitomize the selflessness of the marriage contract, an emblem of traditional love. The Pitts’ strife, and label “pretend-happy”,…

What constitutes a religion? A question we have been trying to answer for an entire semester. Most, if not all, of us consider Christianity to be a religion, but do we see Atheism as being a religion in itself? Believe it or not, Atheism and Christianity hold a number of similarities, and the single factor I have chosen to compare between the two is whether or not they hold similar attributes that, according to my views, help make up a religion.
