A Character Analysis Of Paul's Case By Willa Cather

1375 Words | 6 Pages

Willa Cather’s short story, “Paul’s Case” is about a young man who is determined to make his aspirations a reality by all means necessary. That meant being deceitful as a start of gaining control and social status and telling lies to get to where he felt like he belonged, but where did he belong? This desire was the beginning of a journey that would eventually leave him with nothing. There is something unusual about Paul, something that can only be explained by his demeanor and actions throughout the story. With that said, I intend to construct a complete character analysis of Paul as he searches for satisfaction.

The Argument About The Dwindling Deers

594 Words | 3 Pages

The argument about the dwindling deer population makes incorrect assumptions based on perfunctory findings. Until more information regarding the actual and previous population of the deers, scientific investigation of the cause of these supposed deaths, or the effects of global warming are obtained; the argument fails to make a coherent case to implicate global warming. The primary assumption that the argument makes are that the reports from the local hunters are accurate. While there is no reason to believe that the hunters purposefully botched the data, this information should be used as a precursor for a more thorough investigation.

Paul's Address To Athens Analysis

695 Words | 3 Pages

The apostle Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsus) is incontrovertibly one of Christianity’s most important founding figures (Penner). Once a Pharisee and a persecutor of Christians, Paul experienced a life-changing encounter with God on the road to Damascus, leading to his conversion to the Christian faith. Following his conversion, Paul became one of the New Testaments most prolific and outspoken evangelists, preaching throughout the Mediterranean, authoring a section of the New Testament called the “epistles” and playing a prevalent role in the book of Acts (ESV). Leading up to his address to the Areopagus in Athens, Paul went through numerous adversities including imprisonment, public humiliation, and floggings. Notwithstanding these persecutions, the ESV bible depicts Paul’s attitude in Athens as resolute and indefatigable – “his spirit was provoked within him”.
