The Rev

The character I chose to do my essay on is Rev. Parris. He was the Reverend of Salem and was one of the first people to start blaming witchcraft. He is untrustworthy, mischievous, and a liar. Those three things will be shown and conveyed by the end of the story. In The Crucible, Rev. Parris lies about a lot of things which is to help him and to help others. One example of this is, “And what shall I say to them? That my daughter and my niece I discovered dancing like heathen in the…

Rev. M. is my mentor and spiritual advisor, I am always comforted by her demeanor, her gentle non-judgmental spirit. The fact humbled me she would take time to share her time me after her husband’s passing not long ago. Spiritual direction for was new to her, However Rev.

Sometime throughout everyone 's life they come to a state of ambivalence, where they experience a sense of uncertainty within their own feelings. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the influential Puritan, Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale must repeatedly deal with two conflicting arguments within himself. He has committed the greatest sin of adultery with Hester Prynne which goes against the very laws that he represents. Everyday he is reminded by his unholy sin by the Scarlet Letter…

Does peaceful resistance to laws positively or negatively impact a free society? I believe a good example for this topic is “Letter from a Birmingham Jail- Rev.

However, I agree that peace is better than unnecessary war, discrimination, racism, or any other form of deviant behavior. It is odd when you recall how sin…

Through his story telling of the real-life struggles and hardships the African-American were facing throughout the 1950s and 1960s, he connects with his audience on a level that one had never done before. King…
