The Mighty

In the elegiac folk story, Beowulf, “the great masterpiece of Anglo-Saxon literature,” a mighty yet noble warrior and King of the Geats, faces three battles that detail his heroic life (Diana). Through his God-sent powers, Beowulf’s selflessness and leadership drive him against his enemies as he protects his people. Influenced by Christianity in the early Danish society, the protagonist, Beowulf, values loyalty, courage, and faith in the face of extreme danger and death. Loyal to his King,…

Reading these three verses is like reading something from a Donald Trump biography. Verse 23 mentions that “a king will arise, insolent and skilled in intrigue”. If I were to announce Trump at an awards banquet, I could do worse than use that description as an introduction. He’d own up to every word. I address earlier how Donald, a name that means King of the World, knew he was born to be King. Keep in mind that the use of the word King here simply means, ruler of a nation. At what part of his…

Albert Speer contributed to his period of time through numerous different ways, these includes; his contribution to the second world war as armaments minister, contribution to the consolidation of Nazi and their power in Germany, architectural designs during the period as the architect of the Reich and significantly, being opposed to the ‘scorched earth’ policy, that was implemented by Hitler. Speer was not only known as a great architecture but also, an effective organiser due to his management…

my way there, I saw Water Buffalo working for a strange animal I have never seen before. He didn’t have claws, fangs, or even beautiful Golden Fur. Water Buffalo is the only animal in the jungle I am afraid of. It didn’t make sense to me that the mighty Water Buffalo, whom even I was afraid of, would word for such a small and weird animal. The small animal was making Water Buffalo plow the fields. I waited there until Water Buffalo finished his work for me to go ask him what he was doing. “I…

There was once a little Tennis Ball. This Tennis Ball had many older siblings. Basket Ball, Soccer Ball, and Foot Ball. The Ball family was the best set of brothers, well except for little Tennis. Tennis strived to be large and strong like his older brothers, but alas, it could not be done. He was too bouncy and flimsy. He could be squished, unlike his three other brothers. Little Tennis wanted this to change. He started working out, he had people throw him more, he had people bounce him more…

Anne Bradstreet and John Edwards are the first prominent Puritans preachers in the new world. They are key figures in the Great Awakening movement between the 1600’s and 1700’s. They helped bring Christianity to the Americas, in both good and bad ways. In “Sinners in the hands of an Angry God”, “Upon the Burning of our house; July 10th, 1666”, and “To my Dear and Loving Husband”, Anne Bradstreet and Jonathan Edwards use Imagery and Word choice to show the reader that God is an almighty being and…

does not matter how you get the money as long as you are the one who ends up with it (Hansberry 141). Like Hughes says, all Walter can see is “the same old stupid plan.” This same old stupid plan that consists of getting money and losing it, of “the mighty crushing the weak,” and of oppressing of black men. Coupled with “Let America Be America Again,” A Raisin In The Sun clearly conveys the emotional toll racially fueled economic injustice can inflict on a…

they were soon enough met with mighty and diverse civilizations that made up Mesoamerica-- proving itself to be the perfect opportunity to take the wealth of these peoples, obtain territory, and maybe convert a few souls to Catholicism. However, these civilizations were very large and very strong. The courage, strength, and the will of an “almighty God” of a small band of Spanish conquistadores alone would not have been enough to lead to the downfall of these mighty empires. Rather, regardless…
