Throughout many moments in the Bible, God is merciful and kind, while in others, he is hot-tempered, impulsive, and cruel. These drastically different representations of God in the Old Testament are especially evident in the relationships between God and his prophets. In Adam’s story in Genesis, God’s…

“To be truly positive in the eyes of some, you have to risk appearing negative in the eye of others” (Criss Jami). To appear positive to some people, they have to appear negative to others. Each person has his or her own opinion; therefore, just because he or she satisfies a person, does not mean the others agree with them too.

I've only recently allowed myself to acknowledge the fact that I am, in many ways, a puppet. This is not to say that I have the whimsical, carefree, and adventurous spirit of Pinocchio, but rather that my thoughts and actions are heavily influenced by a puppeteer. Mainstream media has permeated the hearts and minds of my demographic, forming priorities, setting standards, and defining success. Sure, that's just how kids are: impressionable, but aren't we more than those who influence us? It's…

the structure of the poem in which the numerous uses of caesura illustrates the duke’s control over the conversation and compliments the Duke’s own arrogance.

Mentoring is beneficial to most students in a mentoring relationship of some type. Gail Manza states that over 17.6 million young students benefit from mentoring (Manza). These benefits deal with the students learning the outcomes of right and wrong decisions that can deal with drugs and alcohol, and academic choices. The problem with mentoring that gets looked over in studies is that mentoring, if the relationship starts to decline, can create long lasting damage to the mentee. To start with,…

The short, simple style of Marie de France’s lai “Milun” lends itself easily to an adaptation into a short film in the style of silhouette animation. The goal of this film will be both to maintain the meanings present in the original lai as well as to expand the audience that is able to appreciate the poem. The length of a short film maintains the structural integrity of the story in its entirety while also making it accessible to audiences who may not feel equipped to read and interpret this…
