Temptation is like a dangerous river with jagged rocks, ones in sucks you up like a black hole it doesn’t let go. In the excerpt from his biographical narrative A Summers life Gary Soto discusses the temptation that led Soto to sin/evil and he realizes that the pie that he enjoyed in guilt could never be erased. He describes this through the use of allusion and imagery. Through the use of allusion, the six year old broke his trust for himself and god. The author Soto alludes to Adam and Eve…

In the creation myth “The World on Turtle’s Back” the Iroquois Native Americans describe their beliefs about the creation of the world and humanity. The myth exhibits many archetypal settings and greatly resembles the story of Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis. The differences between the two creation stories’ archetypal settings, however, illustrate the greatest difference between the two cultures; monotheism and polytheism. Both “The World on Turtle’s Back” and the Book of Genesis involve a…

Milton uses allusions throughout Paradise Lost including biblical references, literary references and mythological references. Many of his allusions refer to the Bible story of Adam, Eve, and Lucifer, explaining their sins and the reason humans lost their paradise. He also uses other literary and mythological references to relate further to the story. To begin with, Milton uses many allusions to the Bible. He opens the story explaining man’s first sin with the forbidden fruit and Adam and Eve:…

Allen Ginsberg’s “First Party at Ken Kesey’s with Hell’s Angels” and William Blake’s “The Tyger” both have the idea of describing a hellish world in common with each other. Many of the characters in both of the poems also describe characters that you associate with “hell” or a behavior that’s the opposite from good. In “First party at Ken Kesey’s with Hell’s Angels” Ginsberg uses the term “Hells’ Angels.” This oxymoron may try to imply that the angels, who are actually demons in disguise,…

The history of Satan is described in the Bible in Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:12-19. These two biblical passages also reference the king of Babylon, the King of Tyre, and the spiritual power behind the kings. What caused Satan to be cast from Heaven? He fell because of pride that originated from his desire to be God instead of a servant of God. Satan was the highest of all the angels, but he wasn’t happy. He desired to be God and rule the universe. God cast Satan out of heaven as a fallen…

Paradise Lost is obviously spiritual, but Beowulf, despite its lack of explicit Christian references, also deals symbolically with matters of Christian theology; the monsters represent the evil in human nature, unleashed in each case by a well-intentioned but insufficiently thought out human act, and in each case Beowulf, whose skill seems to arise from his virtue, defeats them, even though, finally, at the cost of his life. Milton’s interpretation of Adam as the epic hero differs significantly…

Mankind has a history of having incredible strengths that allow us to overcome even the largest and formidable of obstacles. We also have weaknesses that can ruin what we have worked so hard for in an instant. Many of these qualities are displayed through the characters of the Bible. Whether it’s kings that have insecure weakness or peasants that have incredible strengths that allow them to rise above those kings. The Bible is filled with great examples of the greatest weaknesses and strengths…

“You brought us back to life. You did something I thought no one could do. Don’t be afraid. I won’t shut it up again,” as Lord Craven expressed to Mary in the movie The Secret Garden.

In truth, Mary was not extremely dejected by the death of her parents. Never taking time to know Mary, they were continually showing her that they didn’t care about…
