would set me back. First a pipe busted under the house, saturating the ground for several days. By the time we got there, the ground was flooded and the house had started to shift. We spent every weekend at the property mowing for a whole day, then cleaning for the remainder of the weekend. Next, a water pipe that had been closed off for 15 years or more busted open. Then rodents started taking over. The final disaster was a tree falling ON the house. It demolished the deck, damaged the roof,…

The words “house” and “home” are often used interchangeably, yet they have vastly different connotations. A house draws the mental image of a physical shelter designed to accommodate people. Home, however, is a less tangible term, as it can refer to both a physical place or immaterial things associated with comfort or security. While house is not always synonymous with home, the physical and nonphysical sense of home can be explored by examining the fixtures in a household setting. In…

Clive Barker, the author of the novel The Thief of Always, develops the story well using the setting to drop hints and symbolize elements of the story. Harvey, on a mission to get back his childhood and destroy Mr. Hood and his Holiday House, encounters lots of interesting places, which are used as clues in the book. The setting is very important to the plot, and builds depth. The setting is a key element in the Thief of Always. Millsap, the town which Harvey lives in, is one of the biggest…

I believe that popularity of The Parable of the Burning House is partially due to the fact that it discusses a couple of key aspects of the Lotus Sutra. The idea of suffering and the idea of skillful means are both central concepts of the Lotus Sutra; both skillful means and suffering are addressed in this parable. I believe that this parable’s representation of skillfull means lays the foundation for the many references to skilfull means that follows. Before discussing the parable I want to…

During the Puritan age many wrote to find and show others about God. Some of these authors and their pieces contrast greatly though, such as Anne Bradstreet’s “The Burning of Our House” and Jonathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. Puritan literature of the time is very straight to the point and interpretations of the Bible. While both believe in the puritan lifestyle, they vary greatly in perception of God and their styles. In Puritan life God of course is seen as very…

The book I chose to read and analyze is Burning Down The House by Neil Bernstein. This book is about the Juvenile Justice system and the flaws that come with it. Instead of rehabilitating young kids to get their lives back on track, these detentions are taking life, liberty and resources and making their problems they came there with worse. The criminal justice system is always working to figure out why people commit crimes and how they are lead to a life of crime. Many times people within the…

difficult but will eventually enable man to pave their way into the spiritual world. Bradstreet, an orthodox Puritan, was very ardent in her beliefs about this doctrine. In her poem “Upon the Burning of Our House”, Bradstreet demonstrates her remedy for the problem of materialism very well. After her house burned down, Bradstreet has a tough time letting go of her material possessions. For instance, she says that “My pleasant things in ashes lie, / And them behold no more shall I” (ll. 27-28).…
