Book Report : ' The Hell '

Lt. Audie L. Murphy’s name stands as one of the most prominent in American military history. He was a figurehead of leadership and the epitome of the seven Army Values (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage). He was a model for every soldier to follow, one that overcame every odd that was ever against him and rose to conquer every challenge. In his personal memoir “To Hell and Back”, he expressed a very personal view of what it takes to embody these characteristics which would eventually encourage anyone who reads it. In the next few paragraphs I will expound on his leadership and analyze what it really takes

Background: this story takes place in a futuristic USA where the country is at the brink of war. Tensions between other countries are increasing and soldiers are being deployed to their stations. Although all of this is happening citizens of the US believe that the world will be short and quick and the soldiers will be back home within a week.

Notably, in this location exists a cave that people identifies as an opening to the underworld where Pan’s presence reigns; called the gates of hell. Moreover, surrounding the entrance, pagan’s enigmatic practice of rituals evolves among the shrines, and sanctuaries; manifestly, niches in the rocks create wedging to place statues of various gods and goddesses. Possibly, the unseen presence of Pan encircles Jesus and His unwanted travelers; as outwardly, weird sounds in swirling winds echo. Seemingly, the air resonances full of lurking spirits within this haunting region. Repugnantly, Pan’s visible existence becomes apparent, as a wooden statue of the goat god with an erect phallus stands among the rocky area. As a consequence, to honor the

In the book Fahrenheit 451, written by Ray Bradbury, the author predicts the future of today’s society. Bradbury predicted the future of today’s technology and societal issues. Some technology from the book that is similar to today is the small electronic earpieces that fit into peoples’ ears to communicate with people; nowadays, it exists and people call it Bluetooth. In addition, there was large flat screen televisions that were the size of a wall. Technology is part of the societal issues from the book, they are similar to today’s society because the people do not care about reading or gaining knowledge anymore, it’s all about television and technology. In addition, suicide is not taken care of or prevented properly It is almost as suicide is taken as a joke. Actually, there are many ways today’s society is similar to the book, society that Bradbury based in the future containing advanced technology and societal issues.

“Slim in Hell” by Sterling Brown written in 1932 and “Power” by Audre Lorde written over forty years later, are protest poems looking at, and attacking, the problem of racism through the use of imagery, structure, and tone. Through their different uses of imagery and structure, they create their respective tones and take their respective (and different) approaches towards this problem of racism

Love, generations, cultures, and family are the main theme to talk about in shorts stories, and in the story of “Hell-Heaven” by Jhumpa Lahiri, that is not the exception. However, it is an unusual and very enjoyable story where readers can identify themselves with it because the main characters are common people who have the same problems as many of us. If I have to summarize the story in one sentence, I can say that it describes the experiences of people who come from other cultures to the USA, and it is nuanced with an impossible love to make it more interesting and real. Also, the author divided the different parts of it with four important events which mark the transition

Author Jonathan Edwards uses metaphors in the story to strike fear and hatred in the reader's eyes and minds. Each sentence that i choose symbolizes his work and ideas to bring fear to life. Throughout the story, sinners must face a fearful judgment with an angry God. “Yea, God is a great deal more angry with great numbers that are now on earth; yea doubtless, with many that are now in this congregation, who it may be are at ease, than he is with many of those who are now in the flames in hell.” The purpose for this sentence was that god uses a group of people to spread his hatred on the earth.

In the world of Fahrenheit 451, the absence of books and therefore lack of academic knowledge affects the social aspect of their community immensely. Contradictory thinking involves taking two opposing sides of an argument and considering the pros and cons of each side. This thought process is what shapes our everyday lives. The problem with the people within the novel is that the government has raised them to have answers to choices already given to them. They grow up being given information that they are told is the only right answer, and these people are given no room to think about whether it actually is or not. In the novel on page 80 Faber says, “The televisor is ‘real.’ It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to think and

The short story "Hell-Heaven" written by Jhumpa Lahiri, is about the clashing of the cultures of a Bengali family settling in the west. While story is told in the child's point of view as she matures to a young woman, we're also given the experiences of the people around her through her eyes. These people include her mother, father and a family friend. They each have a different experience as an immigrant migrating and living in America, which leaves us to wonder what message is the author trying to convey with this piece of literature. However, the message to come from "Hell-Heaven" Jhumpa Lahiri is that immigrant families face struggles and tribulations living in unfamiliar territory and having to choose one culture over another.

The thunder rolls, and the lightning strikes. In a town post-nuclear war just outside of Dallas, Texas. He sees the faint figure move, he can't get his bow up quick enough though and now he is dead. He was the one they all talked about. The one kids dream to be when they grow up. No longer will everyone look up to him though, because now their best guard is dead and their city is surely going to fall to the Nazi’s.

When we think of puzzles, we think of riddles, mazes, and toys to challenge our minds to the deepest depth of knowledge to solve the puzzle. In more modern form puzzles we think of toys that are children play with, but what happens if the puzzle was formed of a box? When we think about puzzle boxes, we think of harmless wooden toy's that children amused themselves for countless hours at a time. Simple toy no one can think of a person that solves one of these puzzle boxes can do any harm? In the case of Clive Barker horror classic masterpiece Hellraiser when the person solves the Lament Configuration puzzle box they are given a prize that is literally out of this world. Barker the creator of Hellrasier is a gorily, Carnatic, bloodbath, and with a hint of sadistic bondage, that will make you never want to buy another Rubik’s cube again.

Hell. The four lettered word that trembles in the throats of men and children alike; The images of suffering, flame pits and blood, the smell of burning flesh, the shrieking of those who have fallen from grace. For centuries man has sought out ways to cleanse his soul, to repent for his sins and possibly secure his passage into paradise, all evoked by the fear of eternal damnation and pain. The early 20th century philosopher and existentialist writer Jean-Paul Sartre saw life as an endless realm of suffering and a complete void of nothingness. His pessimistic ideals of life followed through to his beliefs on death, as death for him was a final nothingness. If death was a final nothingness, Sartre's view of hell was really a final

In both the old times and modern time of Christianity, one of the main controversial topics has surrounded one single word. Hell. Some people hear it and thing noting of it. Others shutter at the name. But everyone has questions about it, whether hell is real or a fable, eternal or temporary, physical or spiritual. Being in the Baptist community since birth, I have believed in a hell since I can remember because “to believe in God and not in hell is ultimately to disbelieve in the reality of human choices.” (Ross Douthat). My definition of hell comes straight from the Bible. That there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Mathew 13:42) and that God will say, “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil

In the movie, From Hell the plot is based around the strategic string of murders of women in a prostitution ring. The success of this movie is accredited to the usage of dramatization, music, and its transitional cut scenes. “From Hell” is an intriguing, suspenseful, thriller that plays off of the audience's perceptions of horror due to their previous patterns of fascination. This movie effectively keeping their interest and builds suspense throughout the movie.

In Dante’s Inferno, we followed Dante as he narrates his decent and observations of hell. A wonderful part of that depiction is his descriptions of the creative yet cruel punishments that each of the different sinners receive. This story is an integral part of literary history, and even if I were to have the imagination and ability of Dante Alighieri, I don’t believe I would change this tried and true version known universally.
