Peter Singer

I was wakened up by Sam and Eric today. They yelled and shouted at me they’ve seen the beast near the fire over the mountain. I was shocked by the message. I believe there should be no beast over the island. I stood helplessly, like a lost soul. The only thing in my mind was to call an assembly, talk about what should we do next with the other boys. The conclusion was, we are going to search for the beast. If there is really one, crush it with our well-armed javelins. Things that I worried…

I think it is valuable to study the historical Jesus for my own life and my ministry. This would help me reflect and act like Christ. For it is “not only a matter of following Christ with one's whole heart — for this is required of every disciple — but of living and expressing this by conforming one's whole existence to Christ in an all-encompassing commitment which foreshadows the eschatological perfection” (Vita Consecrata16). Jesus is my Bridegroom. It is regrettable to me that the Jesus the…

In the words of the great Bob Marley, “Your life is worth much more than gold” (Marley). These are lyrics incorporated into his song Jammin’ which was written into devotion to this intriguing concept. If the definition of the word “Jammin’” is looked up in the dictionary, you come across meanings such as chilling, relaxing, laughing and nodding your head to a beat (Jammin’). It has relations to the word “Jamboree”, which means noise making, and “Shivaree”, which is French for a noisy…

In the Doctor who episode “The beast below” we get more of an insight on who the doctor really is. In every episode the Doctor goes out of his way to save the human race, and asks for nothing in return, this shows that the doctor is very compassionate. I believe that they use the star whale in this episode to help represent the doctor. Both are the only ones left of their kind, and share many similar qualities, but the most importantly, just as the Doctor, the Star whale comes to help the…

Alanna Allen 10/2/15 Period 1 1 Thess. Background 1 Thessalonians is written by the apostle Paul. No one really argues about his authorship due to him referring to himself throughout his letter. Some critics attempt to state that Paul is indeed not the author but failed (BKC.1 Thess p.690). He often used three first person plural pronouns when referring to himself or Silas and Timothy (MSB 1 Thess p.1841). Paul and Silas first went to preach in Berea but once the…

Most of the T.V shows and movies are categorized by age ratings which obviously are indicating that minors are not allowed to watch it and fully discretion is needed. Not all people obeys to this and that's one of the major problems. Antonia Peacocke, the writer of the article “Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to Unconscious”, demonstrates in her writing that Family Guy has an untreated humor but is very captivating. The show can be controversial because there is actually people…

The scholars in the video question that Jesus was a humble carpenter because of evidence they discovered through research which contradict this. These scholars thought that Jesus was thriving in a sophisticated urban environment that would have brought with it all the diversity of the Roman Empire; this speculation was brought upon the fact that the social rankings at this time were predominantly based on the sophistication and education. Proven through the bible, Jesus was a an intellectual,…

could be using it figuratively to tell Peter to “resume [his] proper role as a disciple” (Hare 194). Although Jesus just gave Peter authority in verse eighteen, Peter is still a disciple. He has much to learn still and should not try to instruct Jesus (Hare 194). By getting behind Jesus, Peter returns to a position of obedience and submission to the master (Stoutenburg 175). Second, He may be simply telling Peter to get out of His way (174). When Jesus says to Peter “you are a hindrance to me,”…

Who is the beast in Lord of the Flies? There where three things that made the boys believe that there was a beast on the island. The first thing that got them to believe that there was a beast was fear. They got scared when they heard they might be living with a beast. Second was they got bombed out of the sky by a plane and landed on an island. The boys’ minds were not in the right state of mind. Third they were just becoming savages to survive on the island. In (Doc A) the boys begin to…
