curse? Stanley. From beginning to the end, the curse changes from valid to invalid. But that’s not all that changed. From unlucky to fortunate, desperate to accepting, and careless to considerate, Stanley changes internally with the help of Zero. In the beginning of the book, Stanley is careless, unlucky, and desperate. With the curse against Stanley, he is bound to have bad luck, but this time, “He’d just been at the wrong place at the wrong time.” (Sachar 7). This quote shows that…

In the film, Sky High, an action packed, family friendly film, it uses many film codes, such as Technical, Audio, and Symbolic codes. In this particular scene in this film, they used these codes effectively to create a feeling of fear and anticipation as the scene slowly progressed. Sky High is set in a superhero school on a floating island, and Will Stronghold is the main character who is soon to find his powers, while his parents are famous superheroes.

same idea; however, it follows the story of God and Christianity. The narrative of Christianity is the point of ethics and therefore, cannot be separated.

believe college is meant for. Get your education as Jesus would, be social and create friendships as Jesus would, learn to be an adult and grow up as Jesus would if he were you. Stanley Hauerwas believes that college is a calling. I interpreted “Go with God: An open letter to young Christians on their way to college” as Hauerwas essentially saying ‘God has a plan for you, and attending college is part of that plan’. I believe that is true that God has a plan for us, but I don’t necessarily think…

his presentation, de La Torre is seeking for a wide umbrella of coverage, “which stand against the social and political forces of empire, as well as including Latina/o voices.” If my reading of de La Torre is accurate, I feel he would be against Hauerwas and Wells because of their cookie cutter frame work of…

experience. Telling stories is also a window into the ways in which the narrator understands concepts of morality outside of the law. This window is especially important due to laws and rules being appropriate for a specific time or location.
