Bruce Springsteen is an acclaimed American rock artist. He is famous for writing songs with a greater purpose than just to entertain. Springsteen’s lyrics are however ambiguous, thus they can be interpreted as one sees fit. In this text, I will give my interpretation of the two songs “We Take Care of Our Own” and “Death to My Hometown”. I will then discuss whether art should have a higher purpose. At first glance, “We Take Care of Our Own” seems like a patriotic American anthem. The title suggest

Just pray Jack Frost doesn’t come nipping at your fingers and toes. I hope your holiday is just as merry as mine is? I even found a new hobby, reading, this new hobby has led me to some terrifying stories, some of them sad and some of them just plain stupid, so I absolutely have to tell you about them and I say you will be shocked at them and I will also tell you
Thin One original fairy tale that teaches us the importance of family is “The Wild Swans” by Hans Christian Andersen. In this peculiar fairy tale, instead of a prince being a hero and rescuing the princess, it's a princess who makes sacrifices to save her 11 brothers. Throughout this fairy tale Anderson teaches us the value of family and he does this by involving religion. Moreover, Anderson speaks about the elements of weakness, abandonment, and loneliness as a form to connect to children. He also

As Giorgio Armani once stated, “elegance is not about being noticed, it’s about being remembered.” Queen Esther from the Old Testament truly embodied what it means to make a positive impact on a community, despite not always being the center of attention. In the book Twelve Unlikely Heroes, John MacArthur retells her story and explains how she helped save her people through God’s power. Although she was a woman of true excellence, Esther’s existence and emotions were not directly stated because they
reports that “Esther is a different kind of literature” and “because it is a different kind of literature, I think perhaps we are a bit frightened by it” (np). The book never mentions the name of God, the prophecy of Christ, and the words heaven or hell never even appear in it. It is a parable, so that God may illustrate a point (Stedman np). The Layman’s Bible Commentary states that “there is no doubt that it is God’s hand that determines the course of affairs” (Kelly et al. 43). God’s does this by
Oliver Queen is the main character from the TV show ‘’Arrow’’. A hero is a person who deals with a dangerous situation without thinking of himself. I chose this particular hero, because he wants to improve the quality of life in his city known as Starling City. He fights crime using archery, martial arts, and technology. He hides his real identification and named himself ‘’The Green Arrow’’. Oliver Queen is a hero, because he fights crimes and risks his life to save the citizens’ life. The classical
into poverty. To make up for the lack of value from the wood the Ark was then drenched in pure gold, the most valuable of all the precious metals. Although no gold was dumped on her, Mary was given the most valuable position any woman could have, the Queen of Heaven. Another parallel is when the Ark was placed in to the house of Obed-Edom for three months. Mary also spent three months at her cousin Elizabeth’s house.
were rescued from Haman’s vicious attack on the Jewish people. Mordecai can be contributed as the man that helped raise his orphaned relative, Esther, as she was young. As Mordecai saved Esther when she was younger, so would he save her as she grew older and was a Persian Queen. The account given in Esther tells that if it were not for Mordecai’s intercession concerning Haman’s genocidal conspiracy. The life and story of Mordecai is marked with God’s providence and bravery when it comes to fulfilling

anybody." To point out, they couldn 't have freed Thanatos with this theme, they used friendship to their advantage. Sacrifice is Another theme that I think is important, because Reyna says "You (Percy, Frank, and Hazel) need to sacrifice yourselves and save our world." All the demigods put their life in danger and risked to die. Percy and his friends put their life at risk when they accepted the quest to free Thanatos. Teamwork in
accurate historical documents; they are symbolic of the human need for structure, progression, reward, and punishment. The creation of the God-powered individuals discussed shows lives fraught with danger and that would otherwise be ill-fated without divine intervention. Fundamental to the stories of Esther, Moses, Samuel, David, and Saul is the power of God to intervene on their behalf and on the behalf of the Jewish people. Each of these characters had flaws readily pointed out by the authors of

Some of the stories in the bible are so amazing and so mind blowing that its almost hard to believe, or it may feel like reading a fairytale. It’s amazing to think that God was so powerful he was able to make so many astonishing miracles and lead so many people to such stunning and faithful lives. Esther is one of my favorites among those stories. It really is like reading a fairytale and knowing it actually happened makes it even better. In the Old Testament, Esther is one of the most influential
think King Arthur and Rama displays the same attributes showing that they are the epitome of Christianity (Arthur) and Rama (Hinduism) by being virtuous and God chosen. Arthur was chosen as the worthiest to be king by being able to pull out the sword that neither knights nor noblemen can pull out and during his time it is believed that God chooses the rightful rulers like David and Saul (through Prophet Samuel likewise Arthur through Merlin’s prophecy.) Merlin can also be compared to Gandalf the
The Interferences of Gods Since the beginning of time gods have been in the lives of all humans. There have been many stories written where gods play a vital role in the plot of the story. The role of the gods in the stories ranges from being a protector to enforcing punishments to humans. The god 's interferences in the lives of humans play a major role in The Aeneid, The Oedipus, and The Epic of Gilgamesh. In Virgil’s Aeneid, there are numerous occasions of interference of the human lives from

irony used to emphasize Oedipus’ complex past will be discussed. To understand that lets discuss Oedipus’ past first. Oedipus was only son of King Laius and Queen Jocasta of Thebes. When King Laius went to Delphi to discuss it with Apollo’s ministers, he was told that this son of his will kill his father (King Laius) and marry his mother (Queen Jocasta).
