Creative Writing On Redemption

Forgiveness is a necessary part of human existence, although it is rarely easy to give, and sometimes hardest to give to ourselves. The Kite Runner illustrates humanity's tendency, and even willingness, to dwell on past mistakes. The opening sentence sets this theme with "I became what I am today at the age of twelve," as Amir unapologetically relates how he believes one action at that young age defined his entire life. However, as the novel progresses, the reader comes to the conclusion that it was not one action, but a series of choices and events that created Amir's persona as an adult. By holding onto his guilt and fear of discovery, Amir could only bury his past for short periods of time before his own conscience uncovered it and the

Redemption in Wit Margaret Edson explores an unpopular theme (redemption) using the changes in the character of the protagonist, Dr. Bearing. After her ovarian cancer diagnoses, she realizes that she lives an incomplete life with excess devotion to her career and academics and less regard for humanity. She faces heart breaking loneliness that makes her regret the fact that she listened to and followed her English professor’s advice that scholars are unsentimental. Margaret Edson’s “W; t”, therefore, has a thematic bias on the redemption of Dr. Bearing as she tries to emerge from her arrogant self and shed her unsociable character. Dr. Bearing interacts with two contrasting characters in the play that leads her to a state of self

On the night of my Vigil, I took an oath of silence, and a ceremonialist led me into an unfamiliar forest. The song of crickets and the sound of my guide’s torch tearing the papery air accompanied that of our footsteps on the trodden path. We arrived at a small clearing, and my guide lit a fire lay with his torch. I was left alone with the fire, charged with three obligations: do

Blow out the flame and immediately place a lighted match in the “smoke” - During: The wax began dripping down the sides of the candle once the wick was lighted. The flame was blue at the bottom and ombred up to yellow at the top of the flame. The flame was jumpy and not steady.

As I stared into the raging fire I felt the pulsing heat of it on my skin, patiently waiting for the metal to get to the right temperature, after what felt like hours I started to hammer out the metal but with every strike sweat poured out of my body the weight of the hammer felt like a ton when it was only 10 lb, then I looked up to wipe my brow of sweat, now realizing it was the middle of the night so I set the next iron bar in forge and added some coal then turned back to my work, I picked up the sword and set it in a pot of oil for a split second hardening the metal as I poled it out the blade was on fire at first I was a little spooked but then as the flame burnt out the sword was a tinted blue the and wondered what is the king going

Oh how the flames have changed. No longer did the flames signify destruction, eating away at the pages that had once shaped society as we know it. No longer did the flamethrower clenched in a fireman’s fist burn the ideals that make us people. No longer did they dash the hopes, the dreams, of man. Fire, which was one demolition and violence, is now hope.

We found, the leaning pole. I was kind of excited for some reason. Maybe it was because I knew what it was, and the story behind it. The leaning pole was how the once combined Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes found their home. They would travel East till the pole stopped leaning. Eventually it did and the Choctaws stopped, but the Chicasaw said it was still leaning, so they kept pressing forward. This, is how the two tribes supposedly spilt. Nect to the leaning pole, was the Eternal Flame. This was a large flame surrounded by four walls, with no top. The flame was to remember the sacred Green Corn ceremonies. However, I challenged this “eternal” flame. I say this because I looked and read the plaque, and it said it was relit in 2015. I came to the idea that it was an annual flame, since they didn’t really keep it going. I thought it would have been really cool though if they did. They smell of propane from the flame was outstanding thought. They really didn’t want that flame to go out till it need to go

Could there be redemption in an act that causes human kind to lose what most people would consider perfection? Ever since the events where Eve betrayed God and ate the apple of knowledge, her and Adam have been exiled from the Garden of Eden. Humanity was left behind. They were at the mercy of the harsh lands below Eden. Now Adam, the once great creation from Gods image, have "lost the original holiness and justice he had received from God, not only for himself but for all human beings" (Stringfellow). The race was lost without their home. Most importantly, humanity have lost the protection from their omnipotent creator. They are left on their own to explore the savage lands. The infamous action later led on to what is known as Original Sin.
