The Book of Eli

1. 1 Samuel 15:22; Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice” (NOAB, 423). indicates that sacrifice isn’t always necessary but to obey God is more important. 2. 1 Samuel 28:3-25; “Saul’s summoning of Samuel’s ghost” (NOAB,425). Saul witnessed the size of the Philistines army which caused Saul to be fearful of losing the war. He tried to reach out to God for advice but received no response. Then Saul decided to summon the ghost of Samuel through a medium to ask for advice on how to defeat…

The ELI summed me up perfectly by stating that I used sensibility in my decision making and equality. Those are the virtues that most military people have. The reason that I chose to get an education is a direct correlation from my Ethical Lens Inventory. All…

The Internet has increased knowledge, creation, and connection ever since it was created in 1969. The world finally evolved from only having books to learn about, since the Internet came into the world. Throughout the past 30 years, technology has gradually taken over people’s lives one device at a time. The Internet is a big part of technology that almost everyone who owns a phone or computer uses. When people log on to the Internet they see a series of connection with other people from around…

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds [sic, sic] has been hyped as World War II action movie-cum-sadistic gorefest. In reality, it is a self-indulgent snorefest. I thought I would need a gin and tonic before I went in, but it turns out what I needed was a cup of coffee. Yes, there is some gore and sadism, but frankly I found myself hoping for more of it. Anything, really, to relieve the sheer boredom. This is Quentin Tarantino’s worst movie, and that is saying a lot, given how bad Kill Bill,…

By altering the narrative structure and using Old Testament references the author created the…

Cyrus and the man still went to court against the reaper and when he died he was still in court against it. However, the invention of the mechanical reaper by Cyrus McCormick, and its use in the Northern states, equaled the importance that the 1793 Eli Whitney Cotton Gin and the development of the Samuel Slater cotton mills had made to the Southern States. In 1847 he built a factory in Chicago, Illinois. By the late 1800’s most of the farming in america was mostly done by hand and Mccormick…

Justice is widely known as being blind, but this can hinder justice’s ability to provide effective judgement. Eli Ashpence once said, “A blind justice is merely an impartial justice. True justice would have eyes in the back of her head and a pair of mismatched shoes.” (Ashpence 2015) Just like Eli, I believe that to serve true justice, the situation and past of the criminal should be taken into consideration, because often, situations are not as black and white as they seem.
