Constantine decided that he would have to move somewhere else in order to be safe from destruction and invasion. Western Europe would later be known as Christendom, because of the importance of…

raft, forever inferior to white men and unable to defend himself. Additionally, because Tom is knowledgeable of Jim’s actual freedom, he believes that he can merely pay Jim back for his troubles after the ordeal. As the reader is astounded by Tom’s rudeness and selfish nature, Twain proves to be critical of society’s inability to realize that slavery is more about physical captivity; instead, it is a manifestation of social…

The institution of slavery promoted uprisings as natives sought to defend their homes from continued foreign influence. Unfortunately, not all attempts against colonizers were fruitful and some societies were held captive in their own lands. In the United States, African Americans were ferried from their ancestral homes in large homes and taken to different states where they worked mainly on plantations. The experiences shaped the lives of those held captive as they were forced to adapt to…

the next sentence of his article, he suggests, “Perhaps if we could examine the manners of different nations with impartiality, we should find no people so rude as to be without rules of politeness, nor any so polite as not to have some remains of rudeness” (p 244).

And it is largely because those who call themselves the friends of peace have not dwelt sufficiently on this distinction that they do not impress the bulk of any of the nations to which they belong. International peace means a peace between nations, not a peace after the…

Love, Marriage, and for Better One of Jane Austen’s main characters, Mr. Darcy, once said “A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment” (Pride and Prejudice). While this quote was used in Pride and Prejudice, it has truth in it for all of Austen’s stories. Two of her books, Emma and Northanger Abbey, demonstrate this in the captivating way of using characterization, setting, theme, conflict, symbol, and syntax. Austen’s two main…

In her book Surprised by the Feminine, Monika Hilder makes “theological feminism” the lens through which she evaluates C.S. Lewis’ portrayal of women in his works.
