Created By God Spirit Of God
1,458 wordsAnalysis of The Creation This opening excerpt of Genesis lays down the situation in which the Creation occurs. It is very interesting to dissect the statements within this particular passage because it asserts the nature of both God and goodness, but also of evil. It stands as a paradox with many other ideas of the the Bible and of the Church, and in this way I believe some of its meaning may have been lost through the centuries and through different translations. This beginning excerpt from Gen...

Rev Ed Trojan War
1,481 wordsThe Iliad With our view of God, it can sometimes be difficult to comprehend the actions and thinking of the Greek deities. The Christian God does not tend to take such an active role in the affairs of people's lives, where, on the other hand, the Greeks regarded direct involvement by the gods as a daily, uncontrollable part of life. Needless to say, divine intervention was a major variable in the equation of Homer's Iliad. (Beye, 121) The gods picked whom they would favor for different reasons. ...

The poem then becomes not just a personal piece but a religious political one confronting the new discoveries of the world. Donne s cunning battle between himself and evil seems to reflect nicely with hi...

Gulliver Travels Royal Society
1,215 wordsGulliver in Houynhnmland One of the most interesting questions about Gulliver s Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swifts satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intends for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the da...
