the last line, it is said that those designated colorful flames repudiate their forge, which implies that the blacksmith would work the forge until the flames held a grudge against it, something that I could infer of someone who had their glory stolen, someone who could shine so brightly and uniquely that someone who had simply highlighted such a talent then steals the glory from that who shines that way, and they are so displeased by such an action that they resent that brutal challenge…

The ease of their victories shows the authors of these works trying to demonstrate how vastly superior these men were. All of these instances could have resulted in the hero's death, which is why courage was so important. Beowulf seems to have honor in his courage, such as fighting with no weapons, and leaving…

The Second World War homefront is one theme in film whose treatment has differed over time; this is most evidently illustrated in the two films Since You Went Away, directed by John Cromwell in 1944, and Hope and Glory, directed by John Boorman in 1987. Since You Went Away was produced by David O. Selznick in 1944, and in addition wrote the screenplay for the film, originally based on the novel by Margaret Buell Wilder, Since You Went Away: Letters to a Soldier from his Wife (1944). The release…

unite within the person of Christ and work together as the person of the mediator without losing any property of each one. Nevertheless, Christ’s saving work is only received through faith which is the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit unites those who have faith to Christ so that they can share the benefit of Christ’s work towards human being. In other words, union with Christ defines the existence of Christians who have faith in Christ’s saving work which is the double graces,…

As we have been learning in class, there is one big question we have to answer. That question is, “whose ministry is it?” It is surely not ours. We are not perfect and cannot do anything without God. So, there are more questions we need to answer. Four big ones are: who is God, how is God identified and named in ministry, who is the agent of ministry, what is the pastor’s role in ministry. The first one is “who is God?”. God is many things. The Apostles’ Creed says, God is “the Father almighty,…

Beowulf is commonly cited as the most important work of Anglo-Saxon literature. Within the poem, Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, a king of the Danes who is currently under attack by a monster known as Grendel. This Epic then follows the hero Beowulf through his venture to slay both Grendel and Grendel’s mother. The tale then continues, following…

these binaries are a function of hierarchy. By resisting traditional binaries, Notley shows equality through an open space for equal heterogeneous forms. In contrast, Yukio Mishima’s The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea expresses roles of glory and masculinity through the use of forms. Mishima emphasizes traditional forms. Mishima is distinct from Notley, as she challenges…

himself. So he has an assistant that helps and pick out the colored beads that they melt to make marinis. Marinis are what they later use to create the colors in the blown glass, and an assistant that helps transfer the glass from the glory-hole back to the table. The glory-hole is where they melt the glass, it is over 2100 degrees. He also has an assistant that does the glassblowing, and another one that is creating additional pieces used to add on to the base piece. It is almost as though…

towards change and moving on. The thematic ideas in Plath and Updike's work, while slightly different, revolve around the idea of arrogance and avoiding reality. From paragraph five and paragraph six, Plath's perspective shifts from fearfulness to narcissism as she hides behind “an image of [her]self – idealistic and beautiful” as a way of justifying her refusal…
