By analysing the language used in ‘The Last Judgement’ I will endeavour to explore the pageant’s intended effect on the audience, looking specifically at the significance of place and the pageant’s structure. The York Corpus Christi play is structured so that within one day the audience are told the story of Christianity from the creation of the world to judgement day, which, if viewed from an Aristotelian perspective, could be seen as having a tragic plot structure (a fall from good to bad).…

The Conception of the Anti-Hero Through the Myth of the Frontier Throughout history the frontier has been portrayed as a violent and turbulent boundary that served as the panicle of the new American opportunity. Soon after the formation of the thirteen colonies, social and political classes began to form and mold society for the American people.

Introduction Canada is thought of as a peaceful nation who does not inflict ill intentions on others, we let almost everyone into our country, we are accepting and we do not start confrontation. It is equivalent to that one person who is friends with everyone. This is the image that is conjured when the outside world pictures Canada.

recording Jesus ' ascension to heaven, after he has been resurrected from the dead and met with his disciples. Before Jesus left his apostles he told them that the Holy Spirt would come. Not long after the ascension, the Day of Pentecost came and the Holy Spirt came over the apostles, and gave them the ability to speak in tongues. A crowd of people heard the apostles speaking in tongues, because they did not know what this meant the people assumed that the disciples were drunk. Peter used this…

HATRED: A GATEWAY TO VIOLENCE “Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.” (Martin Luther King). Hatred is an inner feeling or emotion that takes birth when a person develops an extreme dislike for someone.

John, an elderly man, receives a vision of this revelation from an angel and was instructed to write what he had seen. The book encourages Christians to prepare for the return of the savior Jesus…

Throughout human history, we are consistently stormed with evil acts—either as a result of legal, unjust laws or from inferior ethics belonging to an individual or group of people. In the late 1700’s, the French Revolution was going under full force, executing upwards of ten-thousand citizens for supposedly acting against the government—an event known as The Reign of Terror. The Reign of Terror was completely under the law—those who were in control were able to execute large masses of people…

For my random act of kindness, I chose to help some individuals with special needs. My father is an Athletic Director and special education teacher at the AGWSR middle school. He has to deal with kids that have special needs in school. I decided that my random act of kindness was to take the Friday of fall break and go to the middle school and help my father with the special needs kids. My father and the students were unaware of the task I was about to perform. That Friday of fall break I went…

This can be seen in their lives as they gave themselves up continually to prayer and to the ministry of God. As a result, they were full of faith and full of the Holy Spirit, and led people to Jesus every day.
