...have an effect on the worlds culture. Posted everywhere on T.V., magazines and ads that display Romantic elements. Music, no matter the genre, exhibit the same characteristics or ideas that the Romanticist revealed. The song “Upside Down” by Jack Johnson resembles the similar thoughts of idealism, individualism, reverence to the natural world and physical and emotional passion,just as the Romantics before him did. In the first beginning lines of “Upside Down” we can find a belief that resembles that of an idealist. The first lines of the song reads as, “Who's to say/ What's impossible/ Well they forgot”. Here Jack Johnson test the beliefs of the world around him. Johnson is saying that other people cannot decide what is possible in the world we live in. This is an idealist view because idealist wanted to pursue the impossible, in the same way Jack Johnson feels that he can do the impossible and whatever...

...Love-orange In the text Love-Orange the main theme is love and losing, because she experience throughout the text, the way she loves her imaginary orange and losing people around her: “That summer I saw more clearly the worlds awaited. Is was filled with many deaths that seemed to tie all the strands of my life together and which bore some oblique relationship to both the orange and the doll” (P 2, L23 – 26), in this quote she realise that people around her die, the girl is well a known of her problems and insecurities and she sees the dead as a part of her life, she accept it, because there is only a defined amount of love to one person with she describes as a love - orange. Although the death takes a lot of people around her, she sees the funeral as a vacation, a time to come out of the house and a break from her own world. She is smart but childish at the same time, that can only mean that she is older than 10 years, I would say that she where a teenager, because her grandparents where still alive. The girl, that we do not know the name of, often hides under the bed when strangers come by her grand parents house, where she lives. Every time strangers come by, she would say these words to her dog: “A world outside” (P 1 L 8), the dog is a bit redundant in the text, but still an object that is used to support the fact that she is a bit more like other people. She is different, and she thinks she lives in a ‘inside’ world, that is one of the reasons why her grandmother...

...5E N° 13 Love matters ‘All you need is love’, The Beatles once said and I couldn’t agree more. Everybody needs love whether it’s from your parents, your friends or your girl/boyfriend. Love is all around and comes I different forms. First of all I’m going to talk about my definition of love and what I look for in a relationship. I don’t want a serious relationship, I’m a teenager. I want someone who I can act like a complete fool around, I want someone who I can spend hours just talking about the most pointless things. I want someone who makes me laugh and who I can plan stupid things with that will never happen. Because I’m sick of seeing these movies with the girl falling in love with a perfect boy. Who wants perfect? I want adventure, I want someone I can tell my secrets too and waste my weekend with and act like we’re 5 years old again. I wanna have fun. Love can be the worst thing in the world and still feel amazing at the same time. I just want someone who loves me for me and who doesn’t judge me for who I am. The same way like I would love him for him and won’t judge him either. Secondly does a world without love exist? The answer is no, there isn’t a world without love, in all grades, positions and cultures there is love. How love is experienced, there are some differences but love is all around. That has to be a comforting (or scary) thought but it’s not always the love of one person to another. Love comes in many forms, from ‘ I love to read’ to ‘ I love God’. When...

...John Green. It is about the reality of two young teenagers facing love, life, and death in a different way than most people. The story of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters proves and exposes the realistic lives of what people with cancer experience, the love two people can share, and the depressing truth of death. John Green was able to capture the truth behind these three phenomenons through his own personal journey with a young girl named Esther Earl in which he helped her face cancer, love, and death. There is time when the word “cancer” is too heavy of a word for some people to pronounce, knowing people who have lost their lives to it or are suffering through it at this very moment. Imagine a person living with cancer, most people see a hairless and lifeless human being just waiting for their time. The Fault in Our Stars shows the truth behind real cancer patients and how they live their lives. Although people living with cancer may have obstacles or they are unable to do certain things all people have that challenge for something and that’s what John Green wanted to prove. Hazel Grace is 16 years old living with stage 4 thyroid cancer and has been for the past 3 years. When Hazel is first described she walks around relying on an oxygen tank, hair slowly growing in, and in need of help but further into the novel she is proved to be different. Hazel is given an opportunity to travel the across the world to go on an adventure of a life time. The first response she is...

...Kannon Manis English Comp II Tues/Thurs 11:00 May 9, 2012 Research Paper Imagine A World without Imagination Thesis: In the poem “Love Calls Us to the Things of This World”, Richard Wilbur illustrates the fact that life is nearly unbearable without the use of imagination. Essay Map: The bleak and depressive theme of this poem exposes the poet’s struggles with finding meaning in his own life, reflects the stability of an objective view of reality rather than a subjective view, and provides an excellent example of the tricks that the right brain is capable of playing on the mind as a whole. I. Wilbur’s Search for Meaning in Life Is Reflected by His Writings A. The poem is written in a style that is quite unusual compared to Wilbur’s other literary works. B. The only positive outlook on life is found while the speaker is still asleep. C. He uses such harsh words as “rape” and “gallows” to make a point about the brutality of everyday life. D. His mixed feelings about life itself are exposed by absurd juxtapositions like “bitter/love” and “thieves/nuns”. E. He is able to find meaning by embracing his imagination as a part of life, and living according to that reality. II. Achieving an Objective View of Reality is a Healthy Practice A. Objective reality, or objectivity, is defined by the World English Dictionary as a worldview existing independently of perception or an individual’s conceptions. B. An objective view of reality is...

...calling to love everyone around us because it seems so simple and easy but we do not realize how important it is that we not only love those in our world but to be a positive catalyst. Cox utilized Bible verses to help prove his main point that we are all called to love those around us, no matter what the circumstance. Within the first five minutes, he mentioned Matthew 22:37 and John 13:34-35. “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” This is the most important commandment God has ever given His people. Cox not only relied on this source to show how important it is...

... A Midsummer Night's Dream. Love can be known to be crazy and complicated. love has many different aspects to it and it can be understood to be magical and a beautiful thing, as well as vise versa. love is known to have many powers and Shakespeare is very interested in both magic itself and love. These two things in A Midsummer Night's Dream are greatly connected. This is why I think that the magical and surreal world Shakespeare creates in his play, reflects the almost supernatural power of love. The things that he creates within his text to embody this are the love potion, the "dreams", the double worlds, and the forests. the love potion and magic itself that are woven within the play makes some characters feel love drunk, confused, or under the influence. the first example of this is when Demetrius thinks he's in love with Helena while under the potions powers, when you can tell from the beginning of the play he really is not. "O Helena, goddess, nymph, perfect, divine! To what my love shall I compare thine eyne." (3.2.137-138) This piece of text evidence shows exactly the powers of this plant. The potion on Demetrius makes him think that he is in love with Helena, but he doesn't realize that he is under the influence of this potion, leaving him confused and not sure of his real feelings for Hermia. Another thing that involves the love potion and reflects the actions of being drunk is when Oberon orders puck to put the love potion onto Tatania's eyes. "Ill watch...

...INTRODUCTION What is a worldview? A worldview is how a person see's the world around them and forms the basis on which making decisions and judgments. This picture defines the world around how the romans have four questions: the question of the natural world, the question of human identity, the question of human relationships, and the question of roman culture. THE NATURAL WORLD The New Testament symbolizes God's plan for the natural world is in the Romans 8:19-23. It depicts the apocalyptic symbolizes the end of history God will stop and renew the damage not only to humanity, but even to nature itself. For the average person, the word “apocalypse” means the end of the world. Apocalypses view the present as corrupted by sin and in contrast which is going to happen in a perfect world or age of glory and righteousness.1 Nevertheless, Gnostic writings biblical apocalypses Daniel, Isaiah 24-27,65-66, and Revelation and not all Jewish apocalypses view present material world damaged by sin, but not inherently evil. Besides, they look to not the eventual demise of the material world, but to its end and liberation from damage cause by sin. The early Jewish leaders used apocalypses to their struggle with the problems of evil and that God would make things right before the end of history. They expressed concern for nature by stressing that the natural world was created by God and is under God’s hands. Human sins and fallen angels have violated the earth and caused some aspects...

...In this semester, I have learned a lot of knowledge about the Bible and God. The knowledge is very useful for me. I learned the worldview of Bible and try to understand it. The western religious culture is amazing, through study of the Bible, I learned so many philosophy of life，include people should love each other and keep one's promise, be a kindness man, and try to felling grateful to God and the people around of you. The biblical worldview is said: The Lord God is without beginning or end, he is everlasting, and he created the universe world and all things. Therefore, God is not a part of the universe，he exists in the universe outside. When he produces the world, God also created all the laws of nature, free to run the universe. God created all things, especially in his own image made man (Adam and Eve). The man was later tempted by Satan, be sinned and against God. Therefore they separated with God. However, God so love the world, sent his only begotten Son came to the world, to become a scapegoat for the death of the world on the cross. He was raised on the third day, and ascended to heaven forty days after. Then continue to go back into the world，and judge the world. Those who believe in him neither need no longer be the trial, to Reply relations with God and receive eternal life. They believe that God exists (Heb. 11:6) and that He is the standard by which we measure everything else. God created everything that exists (Gen.1:1) and everything is held together...

...her definition of womanism. Summed up, she states: “…womanists are simultaneously concerned with rectifying the relationships between humans and other humans, humans and nature, and humans and the spirit world.” (pg. 35) In the required reading this week, Maparyan explores the activist work of three women, including her own heart wrenching story, and how it ties into the definition as mentioned above. In chapter 10, Speaking Truth Inside Power, Maparyan talks about Preg Govender’s work and how she was a trail blazer, promoting “the importance of inner and outer change” (pg. 253) for the relationships between humans and the love, compassion, and interconnectedness required to break down barriers of race, class, and gender in politics. Govender was an advocate for meditation and believed that it “deserves a more prominent and unapologetic place in our social change repertoire.” (pg. 251) I can agree that through meditation, real change can occur. In my own practice and research on the topic of meditation, I am finding more and more evidence of the changes meditation brings into my own personal life and I believe that when we are able to make personal transformations that bring about love, compassion, mindfulness and forgiveness, we can start making changes in the world around us. Also in the chapter, she discusses the “spiritual inquisitivness” (p.235) that Govender was grappling with. Questions about God, temptation, and truth surfaced and forced her to explore the logic of South...
