Something the Lord Made

the owners of the land. Then, these leased the land off to a lord and they owned castles. Lords ruled over the peasants and knights. And the peasants were the ones who worked hard on the land and produced food, while knights were also peasants but they served their lord’s army. Specifically, the social dimension of feudalism consisted of manorialism, a strict hierarchy and reciprocity. Manorialism is an economic system by which the Lord of the land exploited the serfs or tenants who worked his…

Following the French Revolution of 1789, political ideologies began to surface as a result of an increased chance to engage in political discourse, something that was rare outside of the Monarch’s court. As ideas of liberalism, an ideology with a focus on individual human rights began to surface, conservatives with the desire to maintain the Ancien Regime retorted with anti-nationalistic sentiment. In his speech “What is revolution?”, delivered in 1852, conservative Friedrich Julius Stahl…

POWER STRUGGLE IN LORD OF THE FLIES Power is believed to be the only thing stronger than fear. When Lord of the Flies was published in 1954 the novel is considered to be about humans that are inherently evil and when given power, how they choose to use it. Golding demonstrates this through the use of characterization examining Jack and Ralph as individual characters; symbolism is used to illustrate the power in the novel; and lastly, the conflict/dialogue between Ralph, Jack and its effects on…

authority of scripture is an important part of Christianity today, and it always has been. Scripture is the foundation of the religion we all serve. But, the power that scripture has in different categories of Christianity is different. Which is something I didn’t realize until I started really studying this topic. Vaguely to describe each one before breaking it down. Liberals believes in the experience that a relationship with God gives you and that the word of God isn’t any sort of doctrine.…

the big bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. It has the appeal of something good, but when toyed with, it’s actually far more dangerous and evil than we expected. The lure of darkness is tempting, enticing, like the aroma in a chocolate factory. But how do we deal with temptation? In order to know how to deal with temptation, one must know exactly what temptation is. Temptation is defined as a desire to do something, especially something wrong or unwise. Some are tempted with their eyes; some are…

Howard Carter had been working in Egypt for 31 years before Carter had made the discovery of his life, discovering King Tut’s tomb. King Tut had a short but eventful life. When King Tutankhamun became a leader, he was only nine years old! He was not liked by Egypt because his father had totally changed Egypt’s religion. He had changed the religion to just worship just one god. When King Tutankhamun (also known as King Tut) tried to change the religion back to worship many gods. But he did not…

Now I would remind you, brothers,[a] of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. The gospel is hope and is something by which we stand by we are saved. Being a christian is a lifestyle, you have to wake up each morning and life the life, but you also need to understand when you mess up god is right there for you, like it says in romans 23:3 "For all have…

adoration and I prayed long and hard. I asked God to give me a sign as to which school I should attend, and after adoration I had made up my mind. I couldn’t stop thinking about Hope College, so that’s how I decided to come here. As Mark 10:27 tells us “for all things are possible with God.” Even though school can sometimes be a struggle for me, I can trust that the Lord will always be by my side to assist me the entire way through my journey. Times may get rough, as they have in the past,…

elements, such as a talking tree, are incorporated into the story of the crucifixion to further blend the two beliefs. The poem also underlines a common feature of both Pagan and Christian beliefs which is the unbridled dedication and obedience to one’s lord. The poet had to compromise on some elegiac values because only by blending various elements of Pagan and Christian beliefs could there be hope that the Germanic Pagans would accept Jesus as their type of leader. The elegiac modes of…
