Heaven And Earth Ecco Il Made
1,423 wordsWe would speak first of the Puritans, the most remarkable body of men, perhaps, which the world has ever produced. The odious and ridiculous parts of their character lie on the surface. He that runs may read them; nor have there been wanting attentive and malicious observers to point them out. For many years after the Restoration, they were the theme of unmeasured invective and derision. They were exposed to the utmost licentiousness of the press and of the stage, at the time when the press and ...

Alien Beings Find Ship
704 wordsIf up until now I have been saying about each book that it was the best book I have ever read, I was lying... because compared with this book they all come down to nothing. For four days I have been reading non stop all 370, or so, pages and that's a first for me in English or Hebrew. Highly recommended to all si-fi fans out-there. I find it hard to condense the plot of 370 pages to just a few pages, however, I will try my best. It all starts in mid-ocean, a group of scientists, each a specialis...

Middle Path B C
1,583 wordsIn the sixth century before the Christian era, religion was forgotten in India. The lofty teachings of the Vedas were thrown into the background. There was much priest craft everywhere. The insincere priests traded on religion. They duped the people in a variety of ways and amassed wealth for themselves. They were irreligious to say the least. In the name of religion, people followed in the footsteps of these cruel priests and performed meaningless rituals. They killed animals and performed vari...

Dante Inferno Divine Comedy
772 wordsIn Dante's Inferno and Purgatorio, the reader finds recurrent images of blindness used as the punishment of the contrabass. Whether it is Calvacante dei Calvacante struggling to "see" what happened to his son, the diviners in Hell condemned to walk backwards, or the blind Sapia in the second terrace of Purgatorio, the contrabass of these characters does not allow them to see. Such a punishment is caused because, at any given moment of their lives, these characters have denied God-the "light" tha...

Tepid Deism Arid Atheism Blake
1,027 words... his is very similar to the fundamental rights of man espoused in the Declaration of Independence, which states that "all men are created equal" because they are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights" (Declaration 10 - 20). Blake also believed that all life was inherently holy; Damon says that his religion "became all-inclusive when he declared that every thing that lives is holy.

Second Treatise Human Body
1,571 wordsGnostic writings of Jesus portray him as a heavenly redeemer made less of flesh than of spirit. The emphasis of Jesus' importance is not on his physical humanness but rather, on his ability to show people the way to the kingdom. Jesus put on flesh in order to give people gnosis and reveal to them where they come from and where they will eventually return. When it is time for Jesus to return to his heavenly home, he is crucified and resurrected before he finally ascends. His body's lack of import...

The Spiritual And Physical Dimensions In Birthmark
1,196 wordsFred Allen Wolf notes in Taking the Quantum Leap that it was not until the 20 th century that scientists realized that to observe is to disturb, for observation breaks the wholeness of nature. If observing disturbs, then when a scientist tampers and tries to perfect nature the result can only be disastrous. The goal of most scientists is to observe and understand the mysteries of nature. Nathaniel Hawthorne realized that the scientists of the 19 th century were beginning to challenge the traditi...

The Scarlet Letter Analysis
1,396 wordsAdultery, betrayal, promiscuity, deception, and conspiracy, all of which would make an excellent coming attraction on the Hollywood scene and probably a rather erotic book. Add Puritan ideals and writing styles, making it long, drawn out, sleep inducing, tedious, dim-witted, and the end result is The Scarlet Letter. Despite all these unfavorable factors it is considered a classic and was a statement of the era (Letter 1). The Scarlet Letter is pervaded with profound symbolism and revolves around...

Slippery Slope Scarlet Letter
1,204 wordsBut (Hester) is not the protagonist; the chief actor, and the tragedy of The Scarlet Letter is not her tragedy, but Dimmesdale's. He it was whom the sorrows of death encompassed... His public confession is one of the noblest climaxes of tragic literature. This statement by Randall Stewart does not contain the same ideas that I believed were contained within The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I, on the contrary to Stewarts statement, think Dimmesdale is a coward and a hypocrite. Worse, h...
