Something the Lord Made

swords. The time period is not the same because the play made it sound like life was boring. But in the movie it made it sound like that life was not so boring in the time of age. The characters in the movie were different then you would expect. Because the Prince was dressed like a cop and drove a cop car. And Friar Lawrence was dressed more like a normal person rather than a priest. I thought that the Prince would be dressed in a something rather than a cop uniform. And I also thought that…

In Foster the Russian mystic made a statement, which stands out to me. Theophan the Recluse says, “To pray is to descend with the mind into the heart, and there to stand before the face of the Lord, ever-present, all seeing within you.” This is a clear statement that allows me to know that meditation and then prayer brings God closer to us as humans and we are sometimes…

earth. However, we serve a God who has made us intricately and uniquely. To live out our bigger purpose, we must take the calling and passion God has placed in our lives and glorify Him with it. As we go out into the world and find careers that bring joy to our hearts, we may touch a life we may never see. The Lord knew me before I was ever conceived. He knew what kind of woman I would be at twenty years old, and what passions would captivate my heart. The Lord knew what issues would make me…

“To get back my youth I would do anything in the world, except take exercise, get up early, and be respectable.” (Lord Henry in The Picture of Dorian Gray). This is a light-hearted and humorous musing of the appeal to be young again, which summarizes the hedonistic worldview of Lord Henry in The Picture of Dorian Gray that may ring true to others. The Picture of Dorian Gray is a novel that is set in Victorian era London; a society in which appearance and wealth are held at an extremely high…

It is typical for people to have conspiracies about why something was written, its true meaning, and how it ties up with the life of the character. “The Lottery” is a short story written by Shirley Jackson that tells a story about a village who held a very unusual tradition. Every year the head of the household would pick a piece of paper from the “black box”, and whoever held the paper with the black dot had just summoned one of their family members to death by stoning. It is believed that…

the expectations of me were. Many people learned at a young age good set of morals that led to them doing improved things with their lives. Many peoples’ morals came from learning at church about the right things to do in life through the way of the lord and the beliefs of the pastor. Well I guess you can say that I am doing improved things now with my life than a bystander would have expected out of me. Life for most people would have small bumps in the road, but I am not your average person.…

Approximately two hundred years ago Lord Elgin relocated Marble sculptures from the Parthenon located in Athens. The Marbles are now located in a British Museum, however Lord Elgin was never granted permission to take the marbles from the rightful home in Athens. These important pieces of cultural artifacts should be returned to their country of origin, undoing a wrong done in the past. There is no doubt in my mind that when you evaluate the arguments for returning the marbles to Athens you…

The Picture of Dorian Gray As Albert Camus once stated, “At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman.” In this novel, beauty is a key component. Multiple characters, such as Lord Henry and Dorian Gray, obsess over it and how it affects one’s life and how long it will last. The obsession with beauty and mortality within the story uncover how superficial and selfish the characters are. They feign as though they are compassionate and caring, but deep down, all they care about is their…

miscommunication. A few simple words can words can change the outcome of a much seemingly larger situation.
