...Silence, by Shusaku Endo, describes Portuguese missionaries, Sebastian Rodrigues and Francisco Garrpe, and their journey from Portugal to Japan. Rodrigues finds himself teaching the Japanese Christians about his faith until he is betrayed to the authorities by an apostatized Christian. While in confinement, he meets his apostatized mentor, Ferreira, who convinces him to renounce his faith, and save the lives of the Japanese Christians being tortured in the pit. In effect, Endo uses the extensive isolation that Sebastian Rodrigues experiences to alter his perspective from a self-centered faith to caring about the lives of others. Sebastian Rodrigues’ priestly lifestyle defines his values and perspective on life through his eagerness to spread the word of God. Endo begins to introduce the themes of isolation and despair through Rodrigues’ early mentor, an apostatized Catholic Priest. Christovao Ferreira had, according to Rodrigues, been faced with the possibility of a...

...Cowley Paper #1 During the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century the primary driving force for all cultures can be summed up by one simple word, and that word is greed. Many of the countries that had power at the time were greedy savages and all they wanted was more land and power. Countries that were powerful at the time were Spain, Portugal, Japan, and others. Also in the countries the governing body of them had their way or the highway they did not care what had to be done or who had to be killed. If the ruler of a certain country did not like something they did not care what had to be done to stop it. Powerful countries at the time such as Spain and Portugal only cared about power and one word that sums them up is greed. During the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century Spain was one of the most powerful countries. When Columbus set sail in 1492, he founded the Americas and all that came with the, such as gold spices, and other expenses, this is how Spain became extremely rich and powerful. This land that Columbus founded was known as the New World. It is described by Michel de Montaigne in Of Cannibals " New World so lately discovered: for that almost touched upon Spain, and it were an incredible effect of an inundation, to have tumbled back so prodigious a mass, above twelve hundred leagues." Columbus was known for founding the Americas, the truth was he set sail for the Indies. When he landed in the America's he thought it was the Indies. As...

...Matt Mendez Religion Professor Heekin February 25, 2013 Deep River Shusaku Endo’s book, Deep River traces four tourists going on a spiritual journey to the country of India. These four Japanese people converge at the Ganges River, the holy river in Varanasi. This is where they want to reconcile themselves with their past experiences they had in their life. Isobe is a man that lost his wife from cancer and goes to India to try and find her reincarnated. Kigushi is another person traveling to India, who is a Japanese, World War 2 war veteran wanting to perform a ceremony for all the soldiers in Burma who died. These two characters endure a pilgrimage where a transformation is made in their life. Isobe was a man who had a wife, Kieko and a daughter but focused on his job everyday. He did not give or show affection to his wife and had several affairs. He did not think of his wife as a companion but rather just as a figure in his life. As the narrator states, “He was the kind of man who was embarrassed to reveal his own feelings openly in words or on his face, the kind of husband who hoped for a relationship in which his would understand him even if he did not utter a word” (12). His world changes when his wife gets diagnosed with a severe case of cancer and ends up dying. Keiko’s last words to Isobe are that she wants him to find her after she dies because she knows that she will be reincarnated. He can’t cope with the loss of his wife and finally realizes how......

...hydrolysis [28,59]. Moreover, no inhibitory by-product is formed in enzymatic hydrolysis [58]. However, enzymatic hydrolysis is carried out by cellulase enzymes that are highly substrate specific [23,59]. Here cellulase and hemicellulase enzymes cleave the bonds of cellulose and hemicellulose respectively. Cellulose contains glucan and hemicellulose contains different sugar units such as mannan, xylan, glucan, galactan and arabinan. Cellulase enzymes involve endo and exoglucanase and b-glucosidases. Endoglucanase (endo 1,4-D glucanhydrolase or E.C. 3.2.1.4) attacks the low crystallinity regions of the cellulose fiber, exoglucanase (1,4-b-D glucan cellobiohydrolase or E.C. 3.2.1.91) removes the cellobiase units from the free chain ends and finally cellobiose units are hydrolysed to glucose by b-glucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.21) [23,59]. Hemicellulolytic enzymes are more complex and are a mixture of at least eight enzymes such as endo-1,4-b-D-xylanases, exo-1,4-b-D xylocuronidases, a-L-arabinofuranosidases, endo-1,4-b-D mannanases, b-mannosidases, acetyl xylan esterases, a-glucoronidases and a-galactosidases [60]. Cellulose is hydrolysed to glucose whereas hemicellulose gives rise to several pentoses and hexoses. Several species of Clostridium, Cellulomonas, Thermonospora, Bacillus,...

...International Buddhist College Course: BL6204/ME6204 Pali Literature September 3, 2009 Submitted by Hoang Van Minh Topic: Discuss the Theravada Concept of Paramita (Perfection) as Revealed in the Pali Commentaries 1. Introduction Pali Atthakatha is the huge part of the study of Pali literature in Buddhism. The atthakatha means the “explanation of the meaning” or “commentary” and can be mentioned as exegetical treatises on the texts of the Pali canon. Their main object is, therefore, to explain difficult words and abstruse points of doctrine that occur in the Texts and also to give additional explanatory information wherever it was deemed necessary.[1] For that reason Atthakatha is usually considered as the huge encyclopedia of Buddhist study. One can find in this precious treasure any interpretations of the Buddhist terminology, idea and philosophical explanation on Tipitakas; for almost the Pali Tipitaka has its own commentary. The concept of Paramitas is well-known not only in Mahayana tradition with the aim of complete enlightenment but also it is interpreted in almost by the same way in Theravada especially it is revealed in commentaries literature. Historically along the process of development, there are many arguments and misunderstandings between these two traditions especially while Mahayana developed many new concepts like the concept and practice of bodhisattva with numerous skillful means (upāyaksalya) which seem to go too......

...My final recommendation would be to educate all people in Japan on the toxicity of whale meat (Endo 2003). Currently, a lot of Japanese people are unaware of the fact that so much is being spent on whaling subsidies. Research data by the Nippon Research center (2011-2012) suggests that most Japanese citizens (~88%) do not purchase whale meat (Mulvaney 2013). Moreover, ~47% tend to oppose the use of public money to fund whaling (Mulvaney 2013). Notably, current research polls show that Japanese students are actually in favor of school meat lunches (Bowett 2009). There appears to be a disconnect between the meat market, whaling funding, and the amount the government actually spends to support whaling. If there was a mandatory education class in schools, rather than pushing for whale meat school lunches, we could see a turnaround on the...

...Chapter 4 – Design Tools: Jackson Structured Programming (JSP) 4.1 Three Structured Constructs All programs can be constructed using only the three basic constructs. It is the concept of structured programming that a program should be developed using only these three basic constructs. It is not wrong to use the GOTO structure but it is discouraged, because programs with the GOTO structure are often classified as unstructured. The three basic constructs are: 1. Sequence 2. Selection 3. Iteration/Repetition 4.1.1 Sequence Construct In a sequence construct, the way the statements are placed implies the order in which the computer will execute the statements. The computer will interpret the statements in a left to right, top to bottom fashion. Consider the following: Calculate-Average Module DO Get Two Numbers Calculate Sum Determine Average Print Average ENDDO The sequence for the above module is straightforward. You get the two numbers, calculate the sum, determine the average and print out the result. If the statements are not in that sequence, the result obtained will not be the answer intended! Figure 4-1: Simple sequence The Calculate Average module is not a separate module away from the rest of the four modules below it. But it actually contains all the four modules. Each process (a rectangle) represents a component with their......
