- 4412: Mysteries
- ... this bone-chilling horror may help one decide whether or not to believe in the existence of the beyond. "Everywhere on earth and all through history, people have believed that there is more to the world than meets the eye. Behind the outward material appearance of things there is sensed something inward, immaterial, and probably invisible."(Cavendish 1) Apparitions of things have been seen all over the world. The definition of apparition, as given by Richard Cavendish, is "the supernormal manifestation of people, animals, objects, and spirits."

In stanza number three, Sorrow, personified as a woman, whispers these disconcerting possibilities to a grief-ridden Tennyson, saying, “And all the phantom, Nature, stands-... / A hollow form with empty hands” (3.9 ... sixty-four, Tennyson speaks of Hallam, describing him with the words: “And moving up from high to higher, Becomes on Fortune's crowning slope The pillar of a people's hope, The center of a world's desire” (64.13-16). In subsequent sections, he speaks of the divinity present in Hallam, seeming to compare him at times even to Jesus, as in poem eighty-four, where he writes, “I see ... form, and glow / In azure orbits heavenly-wise' (87.35-37). Hallam, Tennyson suggests, would have been a link not only between the present race and that which is to come, but also between a world in turmoil and the God who will restore it to peace. This notion of the division between chaotic nature and an ordered divinity is metaphorically expressed through images of the spirit leaving the body ( ...
- 4414: Billy Sunday
- For almost a quarter century Billy Sunday was a household name in the United States. Between 1902 when he first made the pages of the New York Times and 1935 when the paper covered his death and memorial service in detail, people who knew anything about current events had heard of the former major league baseball player who was preaching sin ... in thanksgiving by worshiping and obeying him. Following this spiritual rebirth, the convert became deeply devoted to Jesus Christ. A devotion manifested in living out many of the teachings of Christ as found in the New Testament’s four Gospels. The professional baseball player became a regular churchgoer. He also studied Scripture and became unusually generous toward the needy. Furthermore, Sunday was constrained by an obsession to tell others how he had finally found inner peace and a more purposeful life. At first through lectures and then in sermons, he related how Jesus Christ gave him a new life of meaning, peace, and hope. This same gospel, he said, would similarly transform others. The evidence is overwhelmingly that it did. If Billy Sunday was sincere devoted, and motivated, he was also a ...

- The Dropping of the Atomic Bombs on Japan On August 6, 1945 the United States exploded an atomic bomb over Hiroshima and revealed to the world in one blinding flash the start of the atomic age.

- ... of the nineteenth-century, used typical realistic methods to create an accurate depiction of changing American life Henry James was one of five children of affulent, eccentric parents. While his birth in 1843 was in New York City, his parents were purposly rootless, and by the age of eighteen he had already crossed the Atlantic six times.

A year later, "The Ambassadors, which James' called ‘the best, ‘all round' of my productions' describes the initiation of an aging American into the relativistic ethics of the Old World in ‘huge iridescent' Paris. The Golden Bowl verbosly analyses father-daughter and adulturous relations." (Matthiessen 16) Ultimately, James' genius was recognized by those who share his craft. His works explore psychological subtlies; he is ...
