Pain, both physical and mental, affects every character in The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. However, the biggest loss, which is that of the Price family’s youngest child, Ruth May’s, life also brings about some positive effects as well. Here, similarly to in Twelfth Night, a person is sacrificed for the greater good. Naturally, it may be more difficult to imagine the benefit of Ruth May’s sacrifice than to imagine the benefits of Viola’s, but if given adequate thought, it becomes clear that the death of Ruth May helps the other women in the Price family to realize Nathan Price’s destructive ways. Kingsolver first exposes Leah Price’s newfound argumentative and bold personality, and her opposition towards her father in the following exchange, “”She wasn’t baptized yet,” he said.

How does one live a life as a Christian that honors and glorifies God? The answer is by reflecting Christ’s image by acting as He would in every situation. Because of what Jesus has done for sinners on the cross, they desire to live by His example in order to give Him glory. However, living a Christ-like life can only happen through the work of the Holy Spirit, who comes in to sinner’s hearts when they first put their trust in Jesus and the cross, growing them and making them more like Jesus. Many characters in books, stories, and movies have Christ-like qualities and characteristics, an example of this being Harper Lee’s masterpiece.
American society is recognized through the power of the White House. It could be possible that the white buildings in Washington, DC reflect the view that the nation was founded and built by white people. This vision of America being “pure” white is flawed.

America would not have prospered without the extraordinary efforts on the African Americans.

Despite having the trappings of a hard sci-fi adventure story, Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar is a deeply humanist and spiritual film exploring philosophical and emotional issues in a complex way (Dean, 2015).

As the characters of Interstellar go about their mission and weigh the risks and rewards of each and every decision, they each find their own definitions of bravery and sacrifice, weighing their own personal decisions against

Marinetti and Nietzsche take on very different tones in their commentaries, but both depend on the avant-garde to advance Europe’s new generations. In The Futurist Manifesto, Marinetti’s tone affirms the reader that there will be a continuous cycle that replaces the elderly members of society with young, advanced minds. The new avant-garde will come forth with ideas, art, and technology that will replace anything that came before them. He writes, almost giddily, that when his generation become middle aged, “other younger and stronger men will probably throw us in the wastebasket like useless manuscripts—we want it to happen!” (F.
