There are many things in this world worth waiting for. Love, surprises, and rare occasions are among these cherished things that we as humans wait for. Even though I believe Edie made the wrong decision in waiting for Mr. Watters’s letter, somehow by a twist of fate she found her true love while waiting for a false one. The list of things in this world that are worth waiting for is quite a lengthly one, but I have three main things that I feel are at the top of the list. Love is something…

of the past and present can all agree that there are allot of amazing writers in this world. Ernest Hemingway once said “For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed” - Hemingway. This quote means that some writers make up stories while others use real life events for…

While there are many great American writers, none can compare to the magnificent works of Ernest Hemingway. Ernest possibly had one of the most adrenaline packed lives of all writers ranging from plane crashes, safari hunts, and bar fights. He was notoriously known for his scruffy beard and urge to brawl. Ernest was born at eight o 'clock in the morning on July 21, 1899 in the family home at 439 North Oak Park Avenue. He lived a moderately normal childhood. His family owned a cabin called…

In 1950 the New York Times declared Ernest Hemingway, the most important writer since the death of Shakespeare. By dedicating his life to the ideal of writing one true sentence was the key of literature writing style. He was an icon of his age; he was a war hero in Italy, a white hunter in Africa and an expert deep sea fisherman in Cuba. Grace Hall-Hemingway gave birth to Ernest Hemingway in his grandfather's house, at 8 am, July 21st in Oak Park, Illinois. And like many Victorian children he…

and tangible. In religion, doubt is combated by faith that feeds this certainty. Religions such as Catholicism and Christianity use parables to “illustrate morals or lessons” to make the understanding of truth easier (Shanley pp 37).“Doubt” by John Patrick Shanley is a parable regarding the truth about certainty, faith, and doubt. Shanley describes doubt in the Preface of the book as: “a position in an argument past the point of comfort, defending a way of life you were on the verge of…

Although all three of the main characters: Sister A, Sister James and Father Flynn share the same religion they have very opposite basis for their faith. Through the book of Doubt Shanley is portraying three different erroneous ways people approach faith. Sister A’s faith is based on her experience in life, not God’s; Sister James’ faith is based on emotions instead of being based on God; Father Flynn’s faith is used as a tool for power. Therefore, the play presents potential ways of engaging…

A fallacy is a mistaken belief and today we see them all over the place. In the beginning of the movie, Sister Aloysius Beauvier thought that there was going to be a problem with Father Brendan Flynn and the little boy in the class (Donald Millers). The Father seemed to favorite the little boy and give him special treatment. The Sister thought that there was going to be an issue because of the Father that she had when was in school. After the boy had a meeting with the Father, the teacher smelt…

John Patrick Shanley wrote a play called Doubt. The setting is held in during a turbulent time in 1964, in Bronx, New York. Most of the events happened in the Catholic Church and school. The events begin to surface when young sister James started teaching at the school. Sister James was worried about a relationship that begin between Father Flynn and a student named Donald. She thinks Father Flynn and Donald may have become too close and informs Sister Aloysius about her observation. After she…

Unjust Systems Sister Helen Prejean, in her book Dead Man Walking, uses statistics, stories of injustice, and her childhood experiences to relate discrimination and poverty in cities like New Orleans to the death penalty: both are unfair systems that need to be reformed. Prejean first demonstrates ethos, using anecdotes of her experiences as a white child in the segregated 1950’s to convince the reader of her understanding of discrimination. After ethos, Prejean uses logos in the form of…
