Analysis Of Hey Nostradamus

California and the flood at the end of the novel, and teachings throughout the novel.

While reading this book, there was a huge interest being sparked for wanting to know the

Throughout history, one of the most prominent facets of any society is religion. It influences every aspect of civilization, from culture to government and from social rules to music. Literature, too, cannot escape the grasp religion holds on society. Works like Paradise Lost and The Divine Comedy show the awesome power religion inspires within people; contrastively, works like Huckleberry Finn and The Visit show the rampant cynicism religion inspires within people. Written by Swiss author Friedrich Dürrenmatt, The Visit is filled with religious symbols and references to Christianity. Instead of honoring the religion, though, the references only ridicules it.

Throughout history, literature has served as a prominent tool in the examination of social values, ideas, and dreams. In addition, literature has provided a vital connection between historical, social, and political events. Through the incorporation of religious principles and philosophies, writers have discovered a way to portray different time periods, characters, feelings, and most importantly God.

These aspects of the religious theme are especially important in the development of the plot of "Greenleaf."

The discussion of religion really started to churn thoughts in mind. It was interesting to me how the author brought up the role of religion on the battlefield. It amazes me that conflict as far back as the civil war branched from the topic of religion

After listening to this book, I have identified several themes that are interwoven throughout the book. There are three main themes that are incorporated in the book are sin, knowledge, and the human condition. The first theme, sin, is depicted by the presence of the strong Judeo-Christian origin this country was built on. As we see through Hester’s experience; and with the reaction from society, Christianity was deeply rooted into their culture. As I listened to the some of the adversities Hester faces, it brings me to some experiences of my own. Like Hester being inundated with Christian beliefs, I was also engulfed by the Christian mindset. I was raised as a Christian, but more specifically as a Mormon. I was taught similar morals, values, and beliefs. I was also condemned for similar choices Hester made. I was isolated from the world around me, and was completely alone.

She had a passionate love for Jason; she sacrificed a lot to be with Jason, committing unspeakable acts. Her husband’s betrayal completely shatters

Jason is another main character in the screenplay. He is good looking man with short brown hair and blue eyes. He is tall and well-fit. Jason prefers casual clothes, likes to do sports and is not into study as Jeanine. A lot of women find him handsome but he never cares about their attention. Jason was raised on the East Cost, US in the hard working family. Jason’s parents got divorced when he was 10 and his father moved out and barely visited the family. It is fair to say that Jason did not get enough of his father’s attention, even though they did meet and spend time together from time to time.

The theme of religion can be observed through the characters’ opinions, comments, and participation (or lack of) in religion. Jake reveals his views of religion when he tries to pray in a cathedral. He reflects, “I was such a rotten Catholic…it was a grand religion…wished I felt religious…” (103). Jake becomes ashamed because he does not

After discussing how the religion has both destroyed and created a society in the book we can see that the power of religion has caused major change for both the missionaries,colonist and the native villagers.We can see the destruction of the native culture and religion with christianity and new culture being forced onto the natives and the old customs of the native being forced out.Next how the converted natives helped to creat the new sociey by first allowing themselves to forget their old culture and also help the missionanry to spread christianity.Finally the creation of the new society with both the colonist and missionarty becoming the dominate force and christianity becoming the dminate religion.In conclusion the book shows that religion has the power to create and destory a society and time has the power to creat society and civilazation aswell and make society fall

A major theme in this book is about God. Seen in, “If there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaking need for an unshakeable God.” (23) Maya’s grandma is a firm believer of God, and since Maya moves in with her, she forces Maya to go to church every Sunday. Even through all the trials and

In some way, everyone’s lives on this planet have been affected by religion. It affects current events such as wars, politics, and societal issues. How religion affects these events and ideologies can be seen in literature. The literature reflects the events and political problems of the time period, which can be used to demonstrate the role of religion in current events of specific time periods. Due to the religious migration during the time period of Beowulf and The Scarlet Letter, religion can be seen as a cause to political problems, wars, and the story itself supports the idea of influence of religion in current events.

Religion functions as an indispensable facet of the book which is really significant in parliamentary procedure to make the reader understand the characters’ lives. The faith that is described in the novel is called “The Pentecostal religion.” The Pentecostal is a religion where divorce is not allowed, drinking/partying was prohibited and the individual must attend a church. Religion intrigued me because it was strict and how it plays a major role in all characters’ lives. Likewise, similar to Hinduism which is my religion where divorce is not seen as respected things to do as well as partying and drinking. Most of the characters are connected into Pentecostal religion, even if they don’t follow every rule and regulation of that belief. A word “Sinner” (69) was very interesting because a sinner in this book implies to the soul who is in the religion but does not follow the restrictions that this religion implies and does not go to the church. I realize that every character in this book such as Clay, Cake, Alma, and an Anneth is sinners except for Easter.

First of all, if a reader looks at the character of Jason from a Freudian point of view, they will see his underlying psychological problems, and his obsession with his mother that he carries out through other women. According to Freud, the unconscious reveals itself through language. The narrative of Jason is a puzzle in which substitutions must be realized in order to see Jason’s true desires. Jason can be seen as a villain of the novel; he is heartless, calculating, cold, controlling monster, which takes pleasure in manipulating and abusing others. But Moore views him as a victim of the mother fixation of influences his perceptions of and visual relation to the world. Because of his fixation with his mother, Jason is psychologically crippled, and has developed a lack of insight into human life.
