Praying with Anger

Love is... Love is one of the basic instincts to which all of the human race are affected. In James Joyce's “Araby” and John Updike's “A & P” they show different ways that the protagonists are affected but these acts are unrecognized by the recipients of their love. The authors manage to use a tone, style and language that eases the reader’s thoughts into the same familiar situation of a crush even though they are written some fifty years apart. Joyce and Updike take this familiar feeling and…

States in 2006. My cousin was supposed to come to the United States in 2001, but as I later learned he could not because of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. Moreover, what I was not aware that New York had so much diversity and there was anger in many American’s against Muslims. At first when I went into elementary school, I was still not fully aware of 9/11, until in sixth grade a girl from my class asked me my religion and said, “So you are a terrorist.” I was baffled at her…

Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day after his death according to the scriptures? This mystery that occured in the early first century A.D. is the kindle of a flame that is Christianity today. Christianity, by atheists, is seen as a religion that is false and one where the followers are mindlessly following a God that isn't real. Some have even gone far enough attempt to find all the evidence in the world to disprove the resurrection and ultimately…

I normally leave events like this full of passion, inspiration and anger that we still have to fight for social justice.

accidents which have even worse subsequences. You can always find a way to earn expand your income. But what about an internal state? A theft, probably, felt a temporary pleasure from stealing money. I, on the contrary, had a mixture of emotions: sadness, anger, desperation. Usually I try to think rationally, calmly, in a coolheaded way. In this situation it took me some time to make up my mind. However, negative experience teaches us a lot. It gives an opportunity to think of human nature,…

Many describe a nursing philosophy in various ways, however I understand it as a nurse applying their philosophy in order to explain what he or she believes nursing is. As a nurse, it is important to play a role in how he or she interacts with the patient as well as in the health care field. Before beginning nursing school, my thought of nursing has been based on providing a patient with undivided care and attention along with respect. Nursing will continue to be my choice of career because I…

I see myself in Walden because I have realized, upon reflection, that my conclusions from facing the meanness of life mirror Thoreau’s conclusions in Walden. In “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For”, Thoreau explains his motives for the unorthodox move to Walden Pond. Thoreau went into the woods to “drive life into a corner”, “live deliberately” and “publish the whole and genuine meanness of it [life]” (74). With these goals in mind, Thoreau entered an environment with obstacles requiring him to…

Fear, pain, and sorrow were sweeping across every state, eventually reaching other countries. According to “The Assassination”, people were gathering together in grocery stores to watch the news together. Citizens were openly praying in the streets with one another.
