538 Words3 Pages

He does not haunt me, because if I do things right, he cannot touch me.
It is a battle of will between my enemy and I, yet not of my own will but the Light’s will for me. This enemy of mine does not back down to anything except the light that I have been given, the same light which I know I am not worthy to have.
I am an ambassador for the Light, wielding its power as Rey wields Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber in her battle against Kylo Ren. Yet no matter how powerful I think I am, how much control I think I have, I am nothing and the Dark knows it. He flaunts his power in me from time to time. He inches his way into me through channels I could not imagine. He whispers in my ear a thought here and there, slyly leading me right into the pit of my own shame and despair. Sometimes I do not even realize it.
It is not until I notice the little flame in the corner of my darkened eyesight, that I notice how very little I can see. Though I mistakenly betray the Light again and again, it is always willing to take me back. Though I ignore the precepts of the Light over and over again, it welcomes me home, replacing my hindsight full of darkness with a bright, beautiful landscape ahead of me. …show more content…

The ultimate outcome of me not learning my lesson would be full surrender to the Dark side. So the Light disciplines those who are in itself by making good and bad known to us so that we will be truly convicted of our wrongs. The Dark rejoices in my realization of how far he has led me astray. He does not know that my realization of this is not a victory for him. I would not be able to overcome my problem if I did not know what I had to

Alistair MacLeod’s The Vastness of the Dark is a carefully composed short story that is used to solidify an understanding of the startling realities that accompany one’s introduction into their adult years, as is the case for the protagonist, James. The insight provided by Macleod is evoked through his introduction of familial connections, occupational pressures, a longing for individuality, and subtle gestures of religious commitment. These topics weave a four-dimensional image that poses as a constant reminder to the reader of their role within one’s life experiences.

Major Battles A lot of the most goriest and brutal battles were fought in the eastern part of the U.S. Mainly around Washington DC and Richmond, Virginia. One of the reasons I think that most of the battles were fought around here is because Richmond was the capital for the south and Washington DC was the capital of the north. I think one of the reasons that the battle of Chancellorsville was fought is because Robert E. Lee wanted to stop a flanking movement of Joe Hooker’s potomac region.

The Gospel of Luke is the most intentional in pointing out how Jesus continues the divine work of God with Israel and fulfills the message and promises of the Old Testament. In the opening words of his narrative, Luke provides assurance (Lk 1:4) that Israel’s story has been fulfilled in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Luke opens the prologue of his Gospel by speaking of the fulfillment “πεπληροφορημένων” that has been brought about by Christ (Lk 1:1). Furthermore, Luke emphasizes and clarifies that he intends to go over the whole story from the beginning, in proper order, (Lk 1:3) to highlight how this story did not just start with the birth of Jesus. This is a story of the divine work of God with Israel that goes back all the way to Adam, runs through Abraham, is fulfilled through Jesus and is passed on into the life of the church (Lk 3:23-38).

Annie Dillard’s essay “Sight into Insight” emphasizes how one must live in the moment and not sway towards others opinions in order to gain accurate observations on a situation. She uses nature as a prominent theme in her essay to represent the thought of looking past the superficial obvious in order to go deeper to where the hidden beauty rests. Dillard wants the reader to realize in order to observe clearly you have to live in the moment and let go of the knowledge you think you know on the situation. Dillard uses the example of her “walking with a camera vs walking without one” (para.31) and how her own observations differed with each. When she walked with the camera she “read the light” (para.31), and when she didn’t “light printed” (para.31).

In “Acquainted with the Night”, it embodies the abyss of despair that the narrator finds themselves in. The poem centers on the qualities of the night, and the night’s defining characteristic is its never-ending darkness. The poem’s very title shows how deeply bogged down in darkness the narrator is; the speaker has, ironically, become friends with it. The motif of darkness manifests itself in other examples as well. The speaker writes, “I have outwalked the furthest city light,” showing that he or she has transcended the limits of a normal person’s misfortune and instead exposed himself to complete and utter desperation (3).

An eye being ‘put out’ is a complex metaphor about the snatching of the speaker’s very optimistic nature, by a stronger force, such as a parent, that they dare not defy. In that case, simply reminiscing about what is lost is the only resolution. Though in “We grow accustomed to the Dark”, a theme that carries on throughout the poem is adaptation. Once sight is loss naturally and gradually, there is a period of adjustment described.
