impact of religion. It is not about the ethics of the Bible or Koran. It is not about religion at all. This debate is simply about the existence of God. That is to say the existence of a “Supreme Being ... includ[ing] attributes of omnipotence, omniscience, intelligence, and eternal and necessary existence ... the creator of the [contingent] universe” I will show that such is likely. I would also like to be clear that my arguments are not entirely or even mostly my own. I will be citing…

The Significant Attributes of the Holy Spirit a. I believe that the Holy Spirit has significant attributes and these attributes coincide with God the Fathers. He is omnipresence (Psalms 139: 7-10), omnipotence (Luke 1:35), omniscience (1 Cor. 2:10), and divine holiness (Luke 11:13).

In The Poisonwood Bible, the most complex relationship between two characters is between Leah and her father Nathan Price. While the other characters see Nathan for who he is before they enter the Congo, Leah does not. Unable to interact directly with God, Leah transfers her religion onto her father.

These are the questions that I will be trying to clarify in this essay. Noted in 1 Kings 22, the historian tells us that ‘For three years Aram and Israel…

Zusak’s The Book Thief tackles the tragic subject of the Holocaust from the point of view of an unusual narrator. Zusak speaks through a characterization of Death to deliver a wider range of information about the characters. Although Death lacks omniscience, he adds critical insight to the story, providing details about the characters’ thoughts while giving synopses of World War II. Through Death’s narration, Zusak reveals the gravity of the Holocaust, employing situational irony and…

Everyone to some degree, craves conform. Everyone wishes to be understood and to be well-liked and to be normal, because sometimes, to be complex and to be unique is lonely. Clarence Hervey, of Maria Edgeworth’s novel Belinda, is characterized as a complex man with a multitude of layers.

1) My initial impression of this work is that it is hard to read and understand. It was one I had to read twice to get what was going on. 2) Ther genre of this selection would be a novel. 3) The exposition of this selection of "The War of the Worlds" would begin with the narrators first view of the Martians. He was fascinated but scared. He watched as he hid in the tall heather. The martians are emerging from a pit. He has never seen anything like them. The rising action begins…
