Nevertheless, to their amazement, physical and emotional healings occurred. We as Christians seek healing, but many times do not seek a greater relationship with Christ. This is self-centeredness rather than Christ-centeredness. We are not to live in chapter seven of Romans, but in chapter eight, which is walking in the Spirit. Forgiveness

Kayla Green Dr. Anne Durst EDFND 243-02 March 25, 2018 Reading Analysis Three Up until 1954, southern schools in the United States were segregated by race. These schools were legally segregated due to the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling in 1896, stating that black and white institutions can be separate, as long as they are equal. For decades the NAACP fought for black students to have an equal education. Their hard work paid off in 1954, when the ruling of the Brown v. Board of Education ruled that this segregation was unconstitutional.

“Although one should not reason about Moses, as he was a mere executor of things that had been ordered for him by God, nonetheless he should be admired if only for that grace which made him so deserving of speaking with God” (22). In the context of The Prince, this statement proves to be duplicitous because Machiavelli claims that he will not reason about Moses, but then uses the following pages to do precisely that. Furthermore, Machiavelli draws extensively from the actions of Moses and the Old Testament God, although Machiavelli is often regarded as an antagonist of the Church. Machiavelli’s handbook for princes consists of concrete advice for rulers that directly reflect the more abstracted stories in Exodus. For instance, Machiavelli’s description of human nature in The Prince mirrors Moses’ experiences as the leader of the Israelites in Exodus.

The whole time the monster just wants someone he can talk to, but everybody he encounters runs away screaming or injuring the monster, and the Monster is not sure why. I feel as if one of the loneliest moments for the Monster is when he is watching the family through the hole in the wall and he just wants to find a love such as they have but only to find out that it will never happen. Even as much love as the family showed they still couldn't find enough to see through the Monster's horrid exterior. Just

The creature does not share the same measure of egotism, but he does hold himself deserving of things he should not be. “‘Shall each man,’ cried he, ‘find a wife for his bosom, and each beast have his mate, and I be alone? I had feelings of affection, and they were requited by detestation and scorn’” (182). Though it is sad that the monster is forever alone, he doesn’t seem to understand that throwing a tantrum over it and killing people does not end with compensation, especially with such a ‘gift’ as this. He holds himself above humanity at this point, like Victor, and this gall is completely unwarranted.

The monster fought for affection by trying to threaten Victor into creating a spouse for it. “You must create a female for me, with whom I can live in the interchange of those sympathies necessary for my being. This you alone can do; and I demand it of you as a right which you must not refuse to concede” (Shelley 104). This situation was the first time the beast tried to establish it’s dominance over the creator. The only reason the monster felt the need to hold power over Victor was to gain a sense of emotion and affection as it has seen other humans do.

The monster decides to leave Victor and find somebody to love. He proceeds to get attacked and expresses his trauma by saying, “I remembered too well the treatment I had suffered the night before from the barbarous villagers” (Chapter 12, Page 128).

When raising a child, it is imperative that the child receives care and affection to develop proper emotional skills. The monster did not receive that. As soon as he was created, he was immediately rejected by Victor. Victor's lack of empathy and mental state made him completely unable to connect with the monster. Victor did not even give him a name, which is the most fundamental aspect of humans identity.

He was formed through behavioral views and experiences due to the lack of education and learning the morals of society. To society standards his physical appearance was not accepted and created a feeling of confusion within the monster causing him hateful feelings towards humans after being shown cruel actions. He received constant judgment and rejection due to his appearance, "His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of pearly whiteness; but these luxuriance 's only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips" (Shelley, 58), yet the monster did not have any opinion of his own self but what was given from Victor and the society. The creation refused to continue to let this happen and reacted with anger, just like anyone other human would. The confusion and rage continues for the monster when society treats him with cruelty after meeting a family in the wilderness and they run away from him.

According to Machiavelli, a prince who keeps his promises is generally praised. But history demonstrates that most success is achieved when princes are crafty, tricky and able to deceive others. A prince can fight or succeed by using law or by using force. The use of law comes naturally to men and the use of force comes naturally to beasts. Hence, to achieve success, the prince must learn to fight with a balance between both law and force.

Machiavellianism is the name of a ruthless and selfish approach to management. Niccolo Machiavelli wrote 'The Prince' in 1513, during the turbulent days of the Renaissance Medici’s, as a set of pragmatic instructions to a new prince on how to gain and retain power. The originality of his ideas has been challenged and shown to go back at least to the Athenians, yet the influence of Machiavelli's words still rings around the world. Hence, Machiavellians are manipulative and deceitful individuals willing to utilize any strategy or behavior needed to attain their goals. Little is known about the effects of these personal characteristics that might result in more competitive, antisocial, and even unethical behavior.

According to Machiavelli, ideal prince is a risk-taker who puts a military on action, as the people respect the warrior. An ideal prince thinks for himself rather than relying on others, knows how to read characters, and does not surround himself with flatterers. He lives in reality, not fantasy. He works hard, utilizes his own mind, and makes survival of his guide. The ideal leader is neither loved nor hated, but respected.
