Gerald's 'A Very Brief Summary Of Wrath'

However, sometimes in life it seems that bad things just happen to the good people

Throughout the course of our lives we face things that are destined to happen both good and bad. Sometimes our destiny brings us bad luck, we are diagnosed with a sickness, we lose our jobs, or we are brought to realize the sad reality that, it’s just not meant to be. Could this all have been coincidence? Is it possible that my dad developed heart problems from eating unhealthy foods and not the fact that his mother developed them? Could it be that I lost my job because it was just time for me to move on and not because my next job would give me a career to develop my skills to be far more prepared for the road ahead? What if I didn’t have the funds to go to Full sail University simply because I just didn’t have enough money within my scholarship and it wasn’t just destined for me to eventually end up at Post University ?

It is true in life that everything happens for a reason. It is also true to say that sometimes it is all about being in the right place, at the right time. There was never a more prominent example of this than a traumatic summers evening, only a few years ago.

Fate works in mysterious ways, everyone makes choices out of their own free will which affects their

In his speech, Jonathan Edwards describes God's wrath as being "great waters" that will overflow with his anger, and reassures them that it is only "the mere pleasure of God that holds the waters back". This provides an image that the congregation is able to imagine. Edwards then describes how they are "treasuring up more wealth" and God may open the floodgates of a "fiery flood" that would ultimately destroy everything. The imagery of the great waters and flood forces the congregation to comprehend a terrifying image and reinforces his main idea. He uses this image in his speech to describe how they affect and provoke God's anger.

Life is unexpected and it throws curveballs at us daily. Although we don’t know what could happen tomorrow or in an hour, society should be teaching

While reading Sinners in the Hand of an Angry God, by Jonathan Edwards I came across some points that caught my attention. This story is based on how a pastor tries to persuade his congregation from the sins and make them to be fearful of the divine wrath, of God. I personally can relate to this story because of my religion. I am Pentecostal and I can see why Edwards would use such words towards his congregation so that they won’t perish and go to hell. My Pastor uses similar approaches like this when she preaches. In “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” Edwards uses frightening words and religious metaphors to divert people from the congregation from the sins and condemning them to hell if they provoke the wrath of God and to establish that everyone should be fearful of him.

The main character in this story seemed to think that his life was rough and terrifying, yet it wasn’t the worst it could ever be, and he still chose to endure throughout the torture. Some examples are: “Dread swept over Markus. If he got into that truck, he knew he would become a slave at best, or at worst a prisoner marked for death. He wanted to run but he knew if he bolted, he would get a bullet in his back.” along with “One scorching-hot day, Markus got so dizzy that he stumbled and fell while carrying a 100-pound sack of cement. He was too worn out to get up. The guard threw water in Markus’s face and then kept kicking him until he struggled to his feet...Markus and the others were slaves, not prisoners, although it was hard to tell the difference in the way they were treated.

The end of the novel has a few key events that take place that help to contribute to a hopeful message.

In the story Dunk, by David Lubar, many themes are tied into the fascinating short story. One theme my group and I came across was, all things don’t always go as planned. Throughout the story, many things don’t go the way Chad or other characters wanted them to. For example, Jason got very ill, and couldn’t play volleyball again, which is a major bummer to almost every person. Another example was when Chad couldn’t be his lifelong dream of acting as the Bozo.

There are times in life when everything appears to go wrong. It is like your life is stopped; at

Upon reading The Wrath and the Dawn and An Ember in the Ashes, I instantly knew I got to have a crossover someday. Laia and Shahrzad are two of my favorite fantasy girls. Despite their contradicting personalities and varying circumstances, I think they would get along beautifully. If put together in one room, will they discuss their halfwit significant others? Perhaps, but the world is a broad space and men are not the only adequate topics!
