"Believers, look up - take courage. The angels are nearer than you think." -Billy Graham. This quote is an excellent representation to show how Angels are shown in the bible. God assigns a Guardian Angel to those who believe in him. In the bible the Angels are seen as Gods servants. He promises to use these Angels and other Angels to protect his believers through the good and bad times in life. When life gets tough its normal to question whether someone is actually watching over you, but if you have courage and believe in Gods plan, Gods servants will be with us through it all. Angels have been around since before the beginning. God created Angels to carry out various tasks and his messages to spread through the world; he also created them
The Killer Angels is a historic backstory of the days leading up to the Civil War. The story is told from multiple viewpoints including Robert E. Lee, James Longstreet, George Meade, and Winfield Scott Hancock. It is mentioned the Army of Northern Virginia is moving behind the Blue Ridge Mountains, and that the Army of Potomac is also moving, but is traveling very slow. This is one of the characteristics which plagued them throughout the war. Shaara gives insight to the background of both Armies. He described the Confederates as a unified group with soldiers of the same background, while the Union is the exact opposite. Its men are very divided soldiers fighting for unification. There is one similarity between the two sides which stands out more than all the others; both sides are ready for the final showdown. Shaara gives insight into this by hinting towards the conflict, yet never telling the reader directly. This causes the reader to be drawn deeper into the story anticipating what will happen next.
The Killer, Who? of the Wounded Angels Why so many deaths in one battle that happened for only 4 years? Before the Civil War, there was the Revolution in 1776-1783 that created the United States. Then the Civil War in 1861-1865 determined what kind of nation it would be.
In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, throughout the book Elie was losing his faith towards God little by little because of the thing that were happening to him and his people. In the beginning, Elie had the strong love for God because Elie has lots of faith in him. In the text it says, " 'Why do you pray?' he asked after a moment. Why do I pray? Strange question. Why do I live? Why did I breathe?" (Wiesel pg:4). This quote is showing how Elie has faith in himself. Throughout the book Elie started realizing God wasn't there for him and everyone else so Elie was losing his faith towards God. In the book Elie says, " 'But look at these men whom you have betrayed, allowing them to be tortured, slaughtered, gassed, and burned, what do they do? They
The Battle of Gettysburg is considered one of the bloodiest battles during the Civil War, and an important mark in American history. The Killer Angels presents key moments of the battle, and the people who fought each for their own reasons. There are men who primarily fought for homeland, battled for an ideal, or combated for glory. There are three different men highlighted in the book that fought for these reasons. General Robert E. Lee, of the Confederate side, went into battle to fight for his homeland, which was Stratford Hall, Virginia. Colonel Joshua L. Chamberlain, of the Union side, fought for the ideal of every man being treated equal and looking upon his men like family each of equal importance. General James Longstreet, of the Confederate side with General Lee, fought for glory and victory. Through understanding the personal priorities and values of these three individuals, it becomes clear why they decided to fight in the war.
In the novel Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers, true heroism is shown throughout many events in the story. One of the many characters in the book, Lt. Carroll, was said to show heroism before the main character, Richie Perry, came to the war. Another example of heroism by Lt. Carroll is when he was trying to lead his squad to safety but ended up getting hit himself. The third way Myers showed heroism is when Monaco, one of the squad members, was captured by the enemy and Richie and Peewee, another one of the squad members, saved him.
Honor played a major role in novel, Killer Angels. Throughout the book, Honor was a concept that remained important to members of the armies, regardless of whether they were supporting the Union or the Confederacy. Every action and decision was made with the intention of being heroic and as honorable as possible.
The act of losing faith is difficult to avoid in stressful situations. Elie and his fellow victims experienced various degrees of their loss of faith, as seen in Night. Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night is about his personal experiences in Auschwitz. He records what he personally went through when he was in the Nazi concentration camp for a year. In the novel Night, Ellie Wiesel and the other Jews struggle to learn that it's difficult to maintain a person's faith during tough times.

For this summer, I decided to read The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara. The book took place during Civil War times and went into good detail on what happened during the battles at Gettysburg. The first quote that I found interesting was from the Union Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. “The fact of slavery upon this incredibly beautiful new clean earth was appalling, but more even than that was the horror of old Europe, the curse of nobility, which the South was transplanting to new soil (Shaara 27).” This quote was significant because it described the feelings of the average Union soldier towards slavery.
Wars have been fought for many different reasons through the years, and that holds true for the American Civil War (1861-1865). In Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, The Killer Angels, the reasons for fighting the war are brought about through the officers and soldiers at a famous battle site of the Civil War, Gettysburg. Gettysburg was one of the most documented battles of the whole war. It took place over a span of three days and can be viewed as a turning point from Confederate prominence to Confederate demise. The Union and the Confederacy each had their own views as to why they were fighting the war.

In this essay, I will explain Courage in general, how we can relate this to the book, and how we can relate this to our current world.
Within modern society when a character strays away from what society depicts as morally right, the individual is frowned upon as if he or she doesn't belong. In “Angels in America” a gay fantasia on National themes, characters struggle to be themselves upon fear of whether or not society will accept them as an individual. The characters not only struggles with whether or not society will accept them, but they also struggle with their inner demons, and ultimately the question of what is truly good or evil. In this paper several characters will be analyzed and discussed from several different viewpoints.

Archangels are extraordinary beings, extensions of God himself, personifying his grace, majesty, and power. All of the archangels are healers. They come as master surgeons to repair our bodies, even as they mend the garments of our souls. This is the true story of Archangel Azrael. Azrael was named the “angel of death,” in the most beautiful and healing sense of the world. However, this is far from the gruesome image of a grim reaper stealing people away. Azrael is also known as the help of God in the Old and New
