Matthews attitude changes over the film by being completely racist and mean at first and then at the end of the film he becomes kind and his last words were words of kindness and “I love you” to Sister Helen. Matthew was treated unfairly by the justice system because the man that he did the same crime with, got life without parole and Matt got the death penalty. I think that the justice system was against Matthew because Matt was poor so he couldn't afford a lawyer so the state gave him a tax attorney and knew nothing about capital punishment. His lawyer only made 1 objection in the whole case. Death Row strips Matthew of his dignity because it strips him of his self-respect and self-honor.

In chapter 3 of Speaking of Jesus, Carl Medearis talks about what it means to own Christianity. He says "If we don't truly know what the gospel is, we have to find an explanation for Christianity." Meaning that if we do not know what the gospel is or what it is teaching us, then we try to define it by our own standards, and that is where it gets messy.

“The Cask of Amontillado” is one of Edgar’s Allen Poe best short narratives with its vengeful characters and eerie and horror-filled atmosphere. The story was published in 1847, to later be known as a classical tale of revenge. Both Fortunato and Montresor were the protagonist and antagonist that kept his short narrative alive and suspenseful to the audience. What also kept his story full of life was what happened to between these characters that made this story revengeful. Though what is revenge?
James I of England was the first king in the stuart family. If we read those two quotes, we will see that neither of them tells good about James I of England. If we think about this king and the fact that he will rule england we would be thinking england won't have a king and time. If James I is wearing an armor under his clothes, then he he must be scared, not only from being shot. So i think he won't be able to rule england properly, and the english people won't like him, and it might be another roller coaster, england will have a bad time with his rule.
The road to salvation is full of many obstacles and temptations. It is a journey that is an everyday battle between what is right and what is wrong. As St. Cyril of Jerusalem states, “The dragon is by the side of the road, watching those who pass. Beware lest he devour you. We go to the father of souls, but it is necessary to pass by the dragon.”

However, if we were to not take the passage literally but metaphorically, or on a deeper level, we can understand that, without faith and trust we are lost. We need to learn to embrace challenge and adversity, and accept a fact that may or may not be what we currently perceive as ‘truth’. Just like Mary and Joseph had to learn to accept the abilities of Jesus, we need to accept ourselves, others and the mysteries of our

While the other gospels emphasize the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, John instead emphasizes new life found in Jesus. It’s from John that we get Christ’s famous claim “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me” -John 14:6. Jesus frequently uses metaphors to hint at his identity. John records more of these analogies than any other gospel, giving us some of the most famous word pictures for Christ.
