Eyes Were Watching God Tea Cake
1,278 wordsI enjoyed Their Eyes Were Watching God's grasp on imagination, imagery and phrasing. Janie's dialogue and vernacular managed to carry me along, slipping pieces of wisdom to me in such a manner that I hardly realize they are ingesting something deep and true. Their Eyes Were Watching God recognizes that there are problems to the human condition, such as the need to possess, the fear of the unknown and resulting stagnation. The book does not leave us with the hopelessness of Fitzgerald or Hemingwa...

Fear Of Death University Of Chicago
1,129 words... ay the dead bee, when the narrator encounters another death of an animal. This death of a rat is much more cruel and deliberate than the natural death of the bee. This death can be seen to be representing murder; or any death where a third party deliberately robs someone of their life. The rat had a skewer of some sort thrust through its neck, and was trying to climb a stone wall out of a river, while people threw rocks and laughed at it. It was interesting to notice Shiga's mentioning the d...

Past Roberts Disability Woman Whose Husband Blind
1,241 wordsThe narrator in Raymond Carvers Cathedral is not a particularly sensitive man. I might describe him as self-centered, superficial and egotistical. And while his actions certainly speak to these points, it is his misunderstanding of the people and the relationships presented to him in this story which show most clearly his tragic flaw: while Robert is physically blind, it is the narrator that cannot clearly see the world around him. In the eyes of the narrator, Roberts blindness is his defining c...

Authentic Spiritual Surrender Responsible Human Freedom Love
1,471 wordsI think Dr. Gerald may have done a marvelous job as to the writing and format of his book Addiction and Grace. As a psychiatrist and teacher with years of experience, I totally agree with his statement that all human beings have an inborn desire of God, whether one is consciously religious or not. Some people repress this desire by intentionally or inadvertently hiding it among the many other interest of life. I have noticed frequently in my line of work as working closely with people in the hea...

Coffee And A Bagel Books And Poems Man
790 wordsWhile I was scanning our literature book in search of a poem that was to my liking, I came across William Carpenters Fire. At first I thought that I should try to find a shorter poem to write a paper on, but I decided to go ahead and read it anyway. At first I began to smirk at the seemingly humorous actions and thoughts of the characters in the story, but soon the underlying theme became very clear. This poem expresses an overall idea that I immediately connected to: the idea that society is a ...

Idea Of God Living Creature
1,202 wordsThat history contains errors, will not come as news to a person who has reflected on the topic. The very first history, a Greek one, History of Herodotus, written around 450 BC, likely had quite a number of fictional details so as to effect its purpose. 1 Those parts of our history which are suspected to be fiction are, at least, through research and comparison, salvageable. What, however, is possibly more disturbing than the realization that, in general and throughout, our history is wrong (a s...

Outlook On Life View Of Life
