Anne Bradstreet’s poem, “Here Follows Some Verses upon the Burning of Our House, July 10th, 1666,” describes the horrific night Anne was awoken to her house on fire and the internal struggles, both emotionally and spiritually, she faced while witnessing it burn to ash.

The Puritans were a religious group in the…

album, “Back in the USSR”, written by Paul McCartney, directly parodies and references the Beach Boys, with subtler allusions to Chuck Berry and Ray Charles. It is set in the key of A major and has a 4/4 meter. Song form consists of an intro, four verse sections, each followed by a refrain, a bridge that follows only the second and third refrains, and an outro. The melody is undoubtedly bluesy, but further innovates on the blues form by adding a flatted III chord into the standard three chord…

tended to manipulate the context of Bible verses, taking most of the verses at face value or ignoring their significance completely. A good start is the first Bible verse Sewall used in favor of his first answer; African Americans are descendants of Cush not Cham, Psalm 68:31 “Envoys will come from Egypt; Cush will submit herself to God.” There is no logical way, within the context of the verse, to support his first answer with Psalm 68:31. Yes, the verse mentions a people group emerging from…

Nevertheless, verse two conveys emotion in “I…

Pi can also take comfort in this verse, because it doesn’t require Pi to do anything physical. All he has to…

The preceding verse appeals the parkhaṇhār (those who can discern) to sift through the facts and figures at their disposal and judiciously draw a distinction between the truth and falsehood. This verse calls upon the evaluators, who have determined the truth, to honour the Truthful One, who discloses the inner mysteries.
