situation that many people cannot get passed, even if the challenge is slightly difficult. But losing your father, that can cause a person to become someone they don’t recognize anymore. Without these losses, people would not get to appreciate the literature that came from Eliezer’s personal experiences. If Elie had not been in the situation that was the Holocaust, hope might have been given up and adversity would have taken over who Elie was. The conditions he was put in at the concentration…

I’ve chosen scene 1 and 3 of Act 3 to focus on how my understanding has deepened about Shylock. In scene 1, Shylock expresses his extreme hatred towards Antonio, his pitiful plight due to the racist stereotypes and ostracization on Jews and his anger and agony in losing his daughter, Jessica. From lines 40-68, Shylock expresses his extreme undying hatred towards Antonio, his agony in how the Christian community has dealt him unreasonably and heartlessly. This can be seen when Shylock…

Albeit practically every religion shows regard for individual contrasts, adherents frequently observe nonbelievers (or devotees of different beliefs and customs) not just as misinformed and incognizant in regards to reality yet now…

An underdog is a person or a group of people whose chances of succeeding in a particular situation appear to be very low but usually succeed anyway. Humans have a natural instinct to support the underdog because they feel that they can relate, and the archetype has littered the media throughout time, appearing everywhere from biblical texts to comic books.

Iranians There were several things that I found interesting about Iranians. The first one according to the book was adultery is considered a great sin, and his harshly penalized. Cases of adultery are punishable with death by stoning (Hennon &Wilson, 268). I think that is harsh and cruel thing to do to a person because he or she committed a sin.
