Is Human Nature Inherently Violent
889 wordsAnger is only one letter short of danger, yet it varies from angel by only one letter. Anger causes a great deal of harm. The question still remains, Is human nature inherently violent?

Early Hebrew citizens were murderous people by nature, much like the Greeks, but had God looking down on them saying to them that killing was wrong. Greek citizens would engage in war and human sacrifices with the gods on their side, and even sometimes the gods would take part in the murdering. The Greek way of life was murderous due to their strong urge to be revengeful, ...

A Prayer For Owen Meany
1,364 wordsNot the least of my problems is that I can hardly even imagine what kind of an experience a genuine, self-authenticating religious experience would be. Without somehow destroying me in the process, how could God reveal himself in a way that would leave no room for doubt? If there were no room for doubt, there would be no room for me. - Frederick Buechner In the novel, A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving, Owen Meany's belief of predestination makes a significant impact on John Wheelwright's e...

According to Charles Spielberger, PhD, anger is "an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage." It's that feeling of your blood boiling, the heat of your body rising steadily until you think you may explode. Your head popping right off of your body and shooting like a rocket into space! Although this is an exaggeration, why do we feel this way sometimes?...

Choice Of Words Word Choice
658 wordsSome readers may define the tone as anger in James Stephens A Glass of Beer. Others may even say that it leaves an unpleasant tone. By studying the choice of words that Stephen uses to convey the tone of his scene, I will demonstrate that beneath the seemingly outraged situation of the poem lies something funnier. The true tone of A Glass of Beer is a sardonic one. Examining each stanza of the poem offers numerous examples where the tone of the poem is sustained by the choice of words. The first...
