- 2992: Hemingway And Alcohol
- ... Time to stories published in later collections, the shift in the attitude of the characters toward potential and promise becomes clear. Indian Camp in In Our Time, depicts Nick Adams a small boy, exposed to death for the first time. This story does not describe desperation nor does it include alcohol; rather, it demonstrates the promise held in the possibilities of life in Nick s final thoughts: In the early morning ... but Joe astutely and ironically notes that the weight was worsened by the drinking. His father s loss of hope, resulting from an unsuccessful career, eventually leaves its mark on Joe. After his father s death, the last lines of the story indicate the depth of Joe s understanding of his father s situation: Seems like when they get started they don t leave a guy nothing (Hemingway 205). The unfortunate ... The Snows of Kilimanjaro ties the trepidation of Hemingway s earlier works to the lament of his later works in a manner that again displays the level of maturity in his later writing. Awaiting his death, Harry remembers his youth and comments on his current relationship with the woman that accompanies him now in Africa. Like Nick Adams, in his recollections, Harry describes scenes that indicate the difficulty of relationships ...
- 2993: Heart Of Darkness 14
- ... easy to overlook. A few examples of the many symbols found in Conrad s novel include the jungle, as well as the colors of white and black, better known as the colors of life and death. In Heart of Darkness, the images of black and white have the usual connotations of evil and good. These pigments are found throughout the entire book. Ironically, although black, the native Africans seem to represent ... as it marks the area of Congo on the map in the Brussels office. The last of the symbolic hues is a dreary pale expression. The pale look of the ivory company s manager denotes death. Pale is thought of as deathly because of a quote in the bible about a pale horse being ridden. Riding that horse is none other than death himself. I also noticed in the movie how the oil paintings that Kurtz drew of his wife contained almost an ill complexion. Her colorless face represents her grief due to the fact that her ...

- ... supervise the moral life of the city. The surviving minutes of the consistory show it forbidding dances, ostentatious costume, and lewd songs, reproving the mildest superstitions, and punishing frauds and overcharges.

For any one person to have this type of control causes us to look at the situation and ask ourselves if it ...
- 2995: Biogrophy Of Dostoevsky
- ... there is a greater sense of personal reflection and emotional honesty. This is what brings the story to life. Perhaps one of the greatest occurences that influenced the writing of Crime and Punishment was the death of Dostoevsky's father. His father was a former army doctor who was murdered by serfs. Although his father had been an alcoholic, and abused Dostoevsky both mentally and physically, this loss hit him hard ... was arrested for his involvement in this group. He was first sentenced to prison where he served several years, then he was moved to a harsh exile camp in Siberia. Later he was sentenced to death. While he was in prison, he was only allowed to read the bible. Because of this, his faith in the Christian religion was restored, and he once again remembered how his mother had raised him ... the problems that Raskolnikov faced with Sonia. Stuck in an unhappy and loveless marriage, Dostoevsky began the major phase of his literary career. In 1864, after a long illness, Dostoevsky's wife passed away. This death was once again hard on him. Not only did he mourn the passing of his wife, but in that same year his brother, Mikhayl, also passed away. Mikhayl had lots of financial difficulties and ...
- 2996: Romeo And Juliet- A Thin Line
- ... ambivalence makes us ecstatic one minute and depressed the next. In Romeo and Juliet's occurrence, it was both ecstatic and depressing. They had an amalgamation between them that would never be destroyed, even through death. Their determination to stay together through the arduous times was astonishing, even when they knew that their relationship would never be normal because of a family feud. They never gave up. It was a case ... girl who moved into the house across the street. Mercutio loved so much Romeo that he would lay down his life for Romeo. Consequently, Romeo would vow vengeance on Tybalt, who brought upon Mercutio's death. Similarly, and ironically, he would damn himself with his self murder, as he believed the death of his belovéd was no one's fault but his own.

- 2997: Baptism
- ... endure. H. Leo Boles in his commentary on Matthew has stated concerning this, “Incidentally we see what is meant by baptism; it is not a mere sprinkling of suffering, but an overwhelming of suffering in death.” It can suffice to say that in the majority of instances where baptism is mentioned in the New Testament, it is referring to immersion in water. However, one must carefully examine the passage to see ... is not true. The Bible tells of many things which save us. -The Word of God saves James 1:21 -The Gospel saves Romans 1:16 -The blood of Christ saves Hebrews 9:14 -The death of Christ saves Romans 5:10 -Obeying the doctrine of God saves I Timothy 4:16 -Belief saves John 3:16 -Confession saves Romans 10:10 -Baptism saves Mark 16:16 -Works save James 2 ... met. Salvation cannot be earned Baptism is the course God has chosen for us to be cleansed by the blood of Jesus.

Likewise can one be ...
- 2998: Resurrection of Jesus
- ... of which we are in now. Soma is the man's body and personality which is a quality of the inner being. The second type is the spiritual body (soma pneumatikon) which is life after death. In this body, the flesh is said to be transformed through resurrection and filled with the spirit. This becomes clear to us that resurrection is a type of transformation. Paul gives us the highlights of ... my opinion, it is somewhat hard to apply nuclear physics to our imagination of resurrection "Is it too much to use this miracle of nuclear physics as an image of Jesus being utterly weak in death and then transformed to such power through his resurrection?"(O'Collins 76). Modern biology plays a role in this as well. In the pats people knew nothing about the human body. However, today we know ... learning more about it and the implications involved in it. Even though resurrection is a mysterious aspect of the Christian faith it is still nice to have hope in what the future, or life after death, will bring.

- ... own desires - ‘they are not behaving in a way benefiting their status as people’ and ‘if anyone, after publicly recognising these dogmas, behaves as if he does not believe them, let him be punished by death: He has committed the worst of all crimes, that of lying before the law ’. Could Rousseau therefore be regarded as the first totalitarian socialist based upon his principals defined in the ‘Social Contract’? To corroborate ... ambitions of the revolutionaries . He adopted a realistic rather than neo-classical painting style in order to record scenes of the French Revolution.
