The Passion of the Christ

Language is used to give tone, and the author’s word choice is exceedingly important regarding any connotations to the subject. Garcia Marquez takes a brothel; a place normally associated with dirty, degrading activities and glorifies it through the use of language. At Cervantes’ brothel, there are musicians who plan in an “enormous courtyard for dancing lit by lantern gourds bought in the Chinese bazaars of Paramaribo.” (Page 64) The atmosphere created by these words quite serene, the dancing…

with zoology, people study the structure, habits, and evolution of all animals, both non-living and living. Animal-related careers, whether it is a zookeeper or a researcher, may seem simple, but a person needs key traits such as extreme patience, passion, and alertness. I honestly believe that patience is possibly the most important aspect when working with animals. As when all may know, animals cannot communicate with humans in the same way that human communicate with other humans. Therefore,…

It was night, when the disciples followed Jesus to Garden of Olives. They looked worried as they men stopped in the garden. Jesus left his disciples to go pray to his father (God). The disciples kept watch, while Jesus was talking with God. I saw Jesus start to shake and tremble, I wondered what was happening, it was as if someone was attacking him but know one was there. Soon he got up, while he got up, I saw a group of soldiers heading their way. Jesus and disciples came together, while the…

About six years ago, I moved to the United States together with my family. After having been here for one week, I started my ninth grade. I learned English in Vietnam for a couple years before moving. However, my skills weren’t good enough for me to understand and talk to my teachers and peers. I struggled for a long time to fit in. Everything to me was unfamiliar. Beside having a difficult time to understand the new language, I was also having a hard time to getting used to other aspects of the…

Passion Will Be My Paycheck I could sense all 32 of their hearts beating. They were nervous, very nervous. They gathered their flags and headed to warm-up. They were awful quiet for a group of teenage girls, but rightly so, they were about to perform their first winter guard show. Myself and the other co-directors, gave instructions that they listened to very carefully. “Smile, chin up, and have fun.” The girls responded with multiple anxious questions. My words gave them short term comfort as…

be that same guiding light to my own little as she starts her own college journey. I want to help girls find their perfect big/little matches because I know how comforting it is to always have someone there for you; to have a family. I believe my passion for this position alone is one of my…

skills. I enrolled in an online program in a university. It was distance learning. I just had to go for the final tests. But my work management refused to give some time to go; even though, I asked to take it from my own leave days` credits. I had the passion to study English and be as good as the others, but the work management got in my way and shut the doors in my face. I considered coming to the US to study. I was very excited, and impulsive. I asked my family and close friends for some…

high ethical standards Saint Mary’s has for their professors and students inspired me to be a driven leader with the passion for serving others in healthcare. I would not be the person I am today if it was not for the high-quality education I received from my professors. I wish to gain admission into Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota Master of Arts program, so I can continue my passion for learning in a community of those who value leading ethical lives while empowering me with the skills…

drives us. This drive is known as passion. One of the many interpretations of passion is described as “any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling” (Webster’s Dictionary). This emotion is felt when a dancer stays at the studio, longer than required, practicing until one move is absolutely perfect or when a detective will not close his case until he finds the fugitive. Your passion is what ultimately consumes your life, from your actions to your thoughts. Passion is often confused with being an…

Stephen Crane characterized the characters of the novel through their actions and interactions with other characters during the story. Such as Jimmie, from the opening scene it was obvious he was violent and did not care much for rules and even his own safety. In the opening fight scene Stephen Crane wrote,“In the yells of the whirling mob of Devil’s Row children there were notes of joy like songs of triumphant savagery. The little boys seemed to leer gloatingly at the blood upon the other…
