- 12622: William Faulkner
- ... up in Mississippi in the beginning of the twentieth century ("William Faulkner" 699). He was the son to Murray C. and Maud Butler Faulkner (Hoffman 13).

Faulkner’s "Barn Burning" takes place in the late nineteenth century South. Primarily a story about the relationship between father and son, the story presents itself through the use of symbolism.

- 12626: Hume

The Webster Dictionary defines a miracle as: a supernatural event regarded as to define action, one of the acts worked by Christ which revealed his divinity an extremely remarkable achievement or event, an unexpected piece of luck. Therefore, a miracle is based on one’s perception of past experiences, what everyone sees. It is based on an individuals own reality, and the faith in which he/she believes in, it is based on interior events such as what we are taught, and exterior events, such as what we hear or see first hand. When studying Hume’s view of a miracle, he interprets or defines a miracle as such; a miracle is a violation of the laws of nature, an event which is not normal to most of mankind. Hume explains ...
