then took Him to hell in our stead. Jesus payed the ultimate price for us and bought us back from the devil. Jesus died in Jerusalem 30 A.D. Upon his death evil principalities, and powers of darkness (demons)took Jesus from the cross into hell when he gave up the Ghost. At that exact time, the angel of the Lord rolled the stone away from the grave. Rolling the stone away means completion. Then the angel sat on the stone he rolled from the grave. Sitting on the stone symbolizes the gate to…

Blake’s “The Tyger” both have the idea of describing a hellish world in common with each other. Many of the characters in both of the poems also describe characters that you associate with “hell” or a behavior that’s the opposite from good.

My culture and values believe in ‘the great beyond’ and also as Johnson points out in Walters (2005) interview "Heaven doesn't exist, hell doesn't exist. We weren't alive before we were born, and we're not going to exist after we die." That is why I chose research about this subject.
