Jin And Unhealthy Relationship With Sun And Jin

Furthermore, the author explores the tone of the novel by providing specific details. In An-mei's childhood story, the author chooses to describe the pain An-mei feels as the soup pours over her by providing details of the twinge. She describes it as "the kind of pain [specially] terrible that a little child should never remember it" and how it still remains "in [An-mei's] skin's memory" (Tan 39). By depicting these details of the pain, Tan expresses the feeling of misery An-mei feels, which appends to the melancholy tone. Additionally, in the story of Ying-ying's first marriage, the author presents explicit details of the emptiness Ying-ying feels by portraying details of her as "a tiger that neither pounce[s] nor lay[s] waiting between the trees" and "an unseen spirit" (Tan 285). This emptiness Ying-ying feels seems to indicate the melancholy tone that appears noticeable in the novel. Clearly, the details Amy Tan chooses to describe in the novel seem to specify the somber tone.

Our identity should be found in God, people and materialistic things will fail

The presence of moral evil known as sin in God’s universe is one of the great questions that has puzzled the mind of man. More so, religious communities interpret the concept of sin diversely through its representation throughout diverse sacred texts. Christianity explicitly teaches that sin is bred into adherents through the original sin which has corrupted the world; however Islam takes the view that believers are born free of sin and taking part in sinful behaviour is an act rather than a state of mind. Sin is interpreted by followers through the way leading figures like Jesus are shown teaching about it in various sacred texts. Follower’s attitudes are influenced, and perhaps challenged by these implications. In addition, interpretations

As a result, sin is what breaks up this active relationship and community that God has established. Jenson achieves this conception of sin by once again analyzing God’s identity in scripture, specifically his active

What is sin? Psychologists do not know how to define sin, and it is often viewed as being perfectly correlated with immorality (Chappell, McGahan, & Ford,1993).

Few figures in psychology, such as Mowrer (1960), Menninger (1973), and McMinn (2004), have studied the concept of sin (McMinn, Ruiz, Marx, Wright, & Gilbert, 2006). Sin seems to
