As to the choices of being wrong references will be made to lies, sin, and the disregard for human life. Looking at the similarities of Islam and Christianity one can find many common ideologies between the two religions. Although there may be some likeness between these two powerhouse religions there are certainly many differences to be discussed. It would be important to note that in the belief of Islam one similarity between Islam and Christianity are that both believe in one God. The Muslim faith is a monotheistic religion and they are very firm in their dedication and commitment to Allah. Christianity, too, is a belief in one God. Monotheistic in principle; however, some differences exist because of a belief in one God in three persons, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. These three are one, yet separate.

...Italy in order to recapture their lost influence. Michelangelo, who was influenced by Greek style of balance, proportion and classical nudity, was commissioned to create "Pieta", "David" and frescos on the ceiling of Sistine Chapel creating a perfect balance of Christian themes and classical techniques. The "Pieta" (1497-1500), commissioned by a cardinal for Saint Peter's Basilica, in Rome, Italy. The statue is a biblical reference of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus after his body was removed from the cross. The statue overstates Mary. Michelangelo concentrated on Mary's emotions of love and grief, yet portrayed her classically beautiful. "The scene is idealized, the emotions it evokes in the viewer are very real indeed" ( Sayre, 498). Harmony, ideal beauty and christian emotion depicted in a biblical sculpture combines classical technique with A christian theme effortlessly. The sculpture "David" (1501-04), originally to be placed along the roofline of the Florence Cathedral. The statue, a biblical hero, sculpted before Davids fight with Goliath, shows raw emotion of eagerness, concentration, hope and fear. Classic beauty, greek inspired, anatomically correct nude depicted in this...

(Orwell pg. 296) Not only does this quote show the unacceptance Orwell received but also that he was indecisive of whose side he was on, whether it was the empire or the town people. The natives hated him because of his position, but he hated his position, too, which shows they had some kind of common ground. Then there came a time when the town people were in need of him: a “sub-inspector at a police station the other end of the town rang me up on the phone and said that an elephant was ravaging the bazaar.

As Orwell went to the area the body of a dead man was discovered and he had made the decision to at least to check out the elephant. This is when he got his first little taste of acceptance. “I had no intention of shooting the elephant – I had merely sent for the...

...explosion, a star becomes a white dwarf, a body of very dense matter. Knowing that all life would be wiped out when their sun flared into a supernova, this race of sentient beings left a record of who they were and what they accomplished. The pictures, sculptures, music, and other relics of a very humanlike race doomed to destruction depress the crew and investigating scientists, who are far from their own homes and lonely. What the narrator has learned but not yet communicated to the others is that the supernova that destroyed this civilization was the Star of Bethlehem, which burned brightly in the sky to herald the birth of Jesus Christ. His discovery has caused him to re-examine and to question his own faith.
