there is a Santa Claus

1. According to Ericsson, we all lie because we want to avoid confrontation, spare people’s feelings, and to get out of particular situations. To avoid confrontations, sometimes it is necessary to lie, for example, if you were talking about someone behind their back and they hear about it, you are going to deny that you ever talked bad about that person to avoid getting into an alteration. If someone is wearing an ugly outfit that they are real proud of, you are most likely going to lie to them…

Also, in Kill Bill, Tarantino works with the locations where it is hard to know with the places are real or they are CGI effects. This happens because Tarantino uses his editing style to create this feeling of fantasy mixed with the real actors creating an uncomfortable feeling which keep us asking to ourselves “What is real and what is not?” The props used are quite funny, because it reinforces this idea of fantasy. For example, in scenes when bodies start bleeding it feels like we are watching…

wire-framed glasses, their lenses long and squared the way microscope slides look. Little broken veins kept the end of her nose red. Rosacea, she called this. It would be easier to see her living in a gingerbread house than a convent. Married to Santa Claus instead of God. The starched apron she wore over her habit was so glaring white that when I’d first arrived, fresh from my big car accident, I remembered how all the stains from my blood looked black. They gave me a pen and paper so I could…

The Grinch then started to prepare for his adventure by gathering the things he needed to destroy the hopes and dreams of the people of Whoville. He got his magical aid from his dog max. They suited up and continued their journey pretending to be Santa Claus and taking away everything christmas. The Grinch never had a meeting with his perfect beloved or with his father.

Noah obviously was on the “good list.” (OK, I just combined God and Santa Claus. Well, I owed the big guy since I dropped him out of the saying a few paragraphs back). When you receive this kind of news, you begin (albeit briefly) to reconsider why in the hell do you complain. We could have lost our son, giving birth to a…

Though Scriven accepts that you cannot directly disprove the existence of God, he holds that when a claim is entirely unsupported, it is sufficient reason to warrant a position that denies this claim. When you grow up to realize that your belief in Santa isn’t substantiated by any evidence and is in fact, contrary to it, the proper response is not only to defer belief in his existence but to abandon it entirely. Scriven argues that we should be motivated to act similarly when met with an…

Everywhere a person may go in life in the 21st Century, there is always some type of new technology. Whether that technology is new cell phones, computers, TVs, and even cars; it is everywhere.

Technology helps people stay connected to others they may not be able to physically connect with. A downfall of technology is that it can cause…

Booker T. Washington once said “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” This proves that doing well in life depends on how well someone overcome challenges in life. In the short stories “the scholarship Jacket” by Marta Salinas and “Rules of The Game” by Amy Tan, we meet two smart and brave girls, Martha and Waverly, who excel in their fields and who want recognition form others. To overcome obstacles, Martha…

How incredible to think that this temptation is so great that the Lord will send down a flying angel to communicate this message to the people on earth. This speaks to the Lord’s awesome grace and love towards all humanity. He does not long for the death of anyone’s soul, but that they should repent and believe (Ezek. 33:11). Death of the soul is not annihilation, but everlasting torment. Humanity’s mythic stories of good and evil draw upon this real battle that culminates in real…
