This story centers on the controversy of abortion in an ambiguous writing style by Ernest Hemingway. First of all, the perspective is not third person omnipresent. The author could not describe the characters' thoughts. Most of the information in the story was relayed through the dialogue. The characters' would say little things that would give away hints about their relationship. The man was pointed out as an experienced mature male figure ,he discussed an abortion that he wanted the girl to have after a train ride. He kept trying to reassure her, that it was just "letting a little air in" and it was perfectly simple. The man's discussion was simply to say for himself that he would not have any responsibility for her. He felt very distant from her and the world. He reassured her that things would be like they were "in old times." His point of view was that it was good to get past the "trouble" he and the girl caused. The girl in the story was labeled as a girl, which is interesting to note because the bar-worker was labeled as a woman. The impression that is given is that she is an immature character. Her point of view is that she will do what it takes to please the man. She is nervous but is in denial; she tries to reassure herself. She feels the man's distance from her and tries to draw him back in to her world. The setting was very important in "Hills like White

The charaters in "Hills Like White Elephants," "Daisy Miller," and "Babylon Revisited" all communniacte with one another in very diffrent ways.
The charaters in "Hills Like White Elephants," "Daisy Miller," and "Babylon Revisited" all communniacte with one another in very diffrent ways. The way the Daisy spoke to Winterborne, is diffrent from the way that The man spoke to Jig. The were many other ways in which the people in these stories communicated besdies speaking. Their emotions and feelings were expressed by the things they did, just as much as what they said. This is eveident in the way that Mrs Miller (Daisys mother) treated Winterbourne when they met, "she gave him no greeting-she certinaly was not looking at him"(297). The characters in these stories are complicated people, and they communicate mostly in complicated ways. "Hills Like White Elephants" is a very short story, but has just as much meaning as any short story that I have read. The man and the woman are at a train station haveing a altercation about weather or not she should get a abortion. She does not want to. It is ovious in the things she says to the man. She says "I dont't care about me. And then I'll do it and everything will be fine"(1). She is saying that she only cares about him, and dose not care about herself. If she did care about herself, then she definatly would not get a abortion. She can not just tell him straight out that she wants to have this baby. The woman is so in love with the man, that she is willing to take the

Charitable Choice Legislation (House Resolution 7) Executive Summary In the aftermath of September 11th, and with the continuing financial burden of the war against terrorism and Iraq, it is imperative that we maximize the utilization of every tax dollar. We, as citizens, must insist that services be provided in the most efficient and quality-saving method. Given the level and depth of social services entitled today's population and the fact that tens of millions may be currently served by them, faith-based charities could be an important and valuable resource for the provision of services, and warrant the support of the federal government. However, we must not do so at the expense of the integrity of the relationship of church and state or the soundness of the faith-based organizations themselves. Perhaps the most contentious point in this debate is the question, "Whose faith?" There is great fear among advocates of a strong separation of
Talking about miracles
Talking about miracles A miracle is described as a remarkable event and welcome event that seams impossible to explain by means of the known laws of nature and which is there for attributed to a supernatural agency. A miracle can be also described as something supernatural and extraordinary, which cannot be normally done or normally happen. Miracles to some people is something which is contrary to the laws of nature (i.e. nature miracles of Jesus, walking on water and the "supernatural") this is naturally beyond our understanding which is why it is refereed to as a miracle. Some people refer to a miracle as the operation of the laws of nature we don't know about yet. An example of is that something, which we see to day, is normal i.e. like a light bulb, this might be a miracle to people of the old times because they didn't understand or know how to do it then. This suggests that we might find something due to science in the future which might explain the miracles of Jesus Christians believe that a miracle is God gifted to a person who believes and follows the word of God. , They believe that God gives the person the power to perform miracles and heal people. (An event through which the power of god is shown.) Some Christians believe that some priests heal people in the church In Jesus' day the word "miracle" meant a supernatural event or action through which the power
R.S. Coursework - miracles
R.S. Coursework - miracles A i) Nowadays, we often use the term miracle without thinking; therefore it has become an everyday word with no particular meaning to it. Having such a wide range of definitions for this term means that no-one really knows what a miracle is. However, the Collins English Dictionary defines the word 'miracle' to be an event which is wonderful and supernatural. The term miracle has been understood by many different people of the past, even before the time of Jesus. The Hebrews interpreted it to be an ôt, meaning a sign and also a môpet which meant a symbolic act. In Latin, a miracle was described as miraculum, something to wonder at. Over time, the term 'miracle' has also evolved or translated from three New Testament Greek words. A miracle was seen as a semion, a sign perhaps directed to God, an ergon, a work by God, a dynamis, an act of power showing God's authority to intervene and a teras, a wonder, an amazing event. Semion and Dynamis were used most often by Luke in his gospel to tell all people that Jesus, by performing these miracles was to confirm God's reign of love in their hearts forever. These terms are used habitually in the New Testament and explain the meaning of miraculum in Latin. St.Peter spoke of Christ as approved of God in his first sermon, dynamesin, ai terasin kai dynamesin (Acts 2:22) whose meaning can be found in the
Describe the history and symbolism of the festival of Pesach - How may the symbolism and teaching of Pesach affect the life of Jews today and help them to meet the demands of their faith?
Dheep Matharu 11N RE Coursework a) Describe the history and symbolism of the festival of Pesach. b) How may the symbolism and teaching of Pesach affect the life of Jews today and help them to meet the demands of their faith? c) "Festivals are the best way to learn about your faith." Do you agree? a) Pesach is the Passover meal, in spring, which commemorates an event that occurred 3,300 years ago. By celebrating Pesach, Jews are reminded of the past event where their ancestors, called Israelites, escaped from Egypt. At the time, Israelites had been made to work as slaves for the Pharaoh, in Egypt. Therefore God sent Moses to free His people, the Israelites, from slavery. The Pharaoh refused Moses' appeal to let his people go and ignored the idea of God punishing him, so God sent ten terrifying plagues to convince the Pharaoh to change his mind. These were the plagues of: blood, frogs, gnats, flies, plague on the livestock, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and finally the death off all the first born sons. The tenth plaque was the worst of the deadly plagues. This was where the Angel of Death was sent over all the houses to kill the first born sons, except those with lamb's blood painted on the posts of the doorframes. That night the slaves and the Jews had a meal, which was called +Pesach (Passover meal) because it was the night the Angel would pass over their

Discuss the differences and similarities between the two stories concentrating on how they begin and end. Which technique do you find the most effective? 'A Sound of Thunder' and 'The Man Who Could Work Miracles' are short science fiction stories by Ray Bradbury and H. G. Wells. 'A Sound of Thunder' is about time travel, set in the year 2050. It is the story of a man who goes on a hunting trip back in time to shoot a tyrannosaurus rex but ends up changing the past, as well as the present when things go wrong. 'The Man Who Could Work Miracles' is about a man named Fotheringay trying to prove his belief that miracles can not just happen but must be willed, and much to his surprise demonstrates this to all the people around him. He then goes on to use his power to perform various tasks, but ends up destroying life on Earth with a careless miracle. Both stories give morals to the reader about messing around with the forces of nature and the consequences that can happen if you do. This essay will explore the differences and similarities between the two stories, concentrating on how they begin and end. Ray Bradbury was born in 1920 in Illinois and moved frequently during his childhood. Throughout his childhood he suffered from nightmares, but later in his life he made these experiences more positive by drawing on them as inspiration for his writing. He began writing during his
Explain the term 'miracle'
Miracles (A) (i) Explain the term 'miracle' The word miracle can have different meanings for different people and when it is applied to different situations it's meaning can alter. From a religious perspective, a miracle is a word used to describe a phenomenal event for the good of a person, which is believed to have a divine cause, i.e., it is linked to God's action. In today's secular society it could be any wonderful or surprising event like the birth of a baby. Whether a person believes this is an act of God or not, they may still look upon at as a miracle. The word miracle is sometimes used for manufacturing purposes; 'This moisturiser works miracles!' Again, it depends on ones personal definition of a 'miracle' as to whether this is true or not. For Christians a miracle is a sign, or something of significance pointing towards Jesus, showing his divine power, which includes the power of God acting in, with or through Jesus. Miracles didn't just take place when Jesus was alive; The Old Testament shows they happened before his time and still take place today. In Luke's Gospel, the miracles that Jesus performed were significant events taking place through, what appears to be God's power to save and resulting in something astonishing to marvel at. It is rarely suggested that Jesus performed magic or violated the laws of nature for evil purposes. So are miracles things
Thomas Cranmer's Theology of the Eucharist
Thomas Cranmer's Theology of the Eucharist Thomas Cranmer was born into a modest Nottinghamshire family in the year 1489. Although his influence and authority was all too apparent after his appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury, his family were little known and relatively poor. Cranmer's loyalty to his King and country ultimately led to his growth in stature, and his insatiable appetite for learning naturally drew him into contact with other contemporary continental reformers. Although he was not in essence to be seen as radical, for his programme of reform was more than cautious under Henry VIII, Cranmer wished to return Christianity to its truthful origins, and to do so required reformation. His theology of the Eucharist underwent many diverse and often contradictory phases before ultimately reaching its conclusion in his Defence of 1550, widely regarded as his final position. Within this essay, I will attempt to trace the development of and influences on his eucharistic theology, in order to define and analyse his final, mature theology of the Eucharist. Prior to his appointment as the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1532, Cranmer had been required to study 'grossest kind of sophistry', i.e. Scholastic theology, at Cambridge; which he finally completed in 1511.1 Of his own free will, Cranmer decided to reject Scholasticism, and, under the increasing influence of
