Hebrew and Aramaic as accurately as possible. This does not mean every form has the same wording because the translator’s preference and the specific words used in the text can lead to several translations emerging with slight differences between each version. Even seemingly straight-forward…

When anyone asks me what my culture identity is, the first thing to pop into my head is everything I am surrounded by and the closest people to me, also the activities I do on the daily and how it is done. Culture is something that is shared and learned as you grow up. What you learned is partially who you end up being in the future whether you can identify it or not. I define my culture identity as the things I am closest to and who I am closest to, which happens to be Jehovah God, his word the…

In Branagh’s version of Hamlet the scene took place in a modernized castle, the costumes weren’t typical medieval dress instead they were very common wealthy outfits. Even the so called “maids,” like Ophelia were dressed nicely; this allows the audience to focus more on the obvious storyline rather than the different social classes. This was a very effective way of presenting ‘Hamlet’ because instead of looking at the controversy in Ophelia and Hamlets relationship I looked at the overall plot…

Jesus Christ. In a chapter entitled, “The Three Parts of Morality,” Lewis suggests that one part of morality is the “tidying up” of one’s self on the inside, in other words, to “first clean the inside of the cup” (Matthew 23:25-28, New International Version).

individual sees him or herself. About wisdom, the Bible says, “Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight” (Proverbs 4:6-7, English Standard Version). It is wise to look into one’s personality in order to gain insight into how life can be lived fully and in right standing with God. The Prentice Hall’s Self-Assessment shows how a person’s personality, values, motivations, and decision…

In the modern world there are many different communities with different social values. While there are “rules” that almost everyone can agree on, such as murder or taking another’s property is wrong, there are several rules that, from inside a community, seem immutable or common sense, but from the outside they are flippant, arbitrary, and restricted. In the story “Good People” David Foster Wallace uses the circumstances of an unplanned pregnancy to examine the social isolation that can occur…

My favorite as a child was Disney’s version of Cinderella, which is the story I most enjoyed reading the differences between the new and older versions. The first difference you see straight away is that the name of the story wasn’t originally Cinderella, but Aschenputtle. She was called Aschenputtle because she was always dirty covered in ashes…

One day after Nag and Nagaina had been defeated, Rikki-Tikki Tavi was sleeping on the ground and Darzee was singing and flying through the sky. “Ooooh, im free, im free” Darzee sang. “ No more enemies, Im free, im free” he continuously sang. While he was flying over Nag and Nagaina's nest, he had noticed a broken egg. He flew down to see with a smooth landing right above it on the tree. He heard something slithering near the bushes under him. He peaked over to see what it was and freaked out…
