Dr. John Vonder Bruegge is the sort of man one may envision dressed in a plush velvet robe, seated in a giant leather chair, encompassed by shelves of ancient leather books, and snacking on cheese and crackers.

When he gets off the plane at the beginning of the movie, he is moving in the opposite direction of everyone else. This indicates the fact that Ben feels isolated from society and has not yet found his role in it. Everyone around Ben has such high hopes for his future, but he does not seem to care about it. Instead, he is going through life the opposite way of others after graduating from college by lounging by the pool all day and being involved with a married woman. Ben is very weak and indecisive and cannot seem to figure out what he wants to do with his life since graduating. All of the choices that Ben makes seem to be very irrational and not very thought out. For example, he drops everything and goes to Berkeley in hopes of marrying Elaine after only going on one date together. Also, he brushes off advice concerning his future like when the guy at his party tells him that he should invest in plastics. However, he seems to have no interest in becoming successful or going to graduate school as he appears to be lost and traveling in the wrong

Throughout centuries, humans have expressed different perspectives toward a single idea. The subject of religion invites challenging discussions from skeptical minds because religion is diversely interpreted based on personal faith. The authoress sets her novel in a fictional town, Cold Sassy, where religion plays a predominant role in people’s lives. Through Will Tweedy’s narration she explores the religious opinions of the town’s most prominent citizen Rucker Blakeslee, Will’s grandpa. Although Blakeslee spent his whole life in a religiously conservative town, he has a radical approach toward religious concepts such as predestination, suicide, funerals, faith, and God’s will, thus forcing him to challenge the traditional views of

Ben is also a very peculiar character.  The audience first encounters him with the full knowledge that he is dead.  Ben is also the one figure that is able to move freely between the past and the present.  Because Ben represents that which Willy seeks, Willy feels that he can achieve his goal the same way that Ben did and so he believes that "opportunism, cheating and cruelty are success incarnate" (Smith).

The play illustrated by Adu-Gyamfi & Schmidt (2011), “Everyman” written by an anonymous writer late in the fifteenth-century (p. 265-287), interconnects religious allegories with worldly moral lessons on several main reasons that good deeds and works are required and needed, but they do not save humanity from spiritual death. The play conveys a story about Everyman’s (representing human individuals) natural life journey to death. The morality of the play helps the audience appreciate the history of Christianity. The focal point throughout the play is about humanities, life plan and a journey that requires every man to construct an unworldly firm foundation built up strong to help overcome any uprooting storm within a lifetime. Its personification comes in the form of the characters Everyman, Goods, and Goods Deeds, who embodied the concept of teaching lessons to humanity of the significance of living a Christ-centered life and learning to allow the heart restored and guided by God to help aid good judgement (Adu-Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011). Thomas F. Van Laan (1963) describes Everyman’s play, “The human action and its allegorical significance together form a distinct structural pattern which not only imposes discipline but also contributes its own intrinsic meaning”. From the start of the first phase 5-6, the first point of view of the play engages, “…That of our lives and ending* shows / How transitory we be all day.*…” (Adu-Gyamfi & Schmidt, 2011). The play displays how

Ben shows in both texts that instead of hurting others with “tart words”, that we should instead love everyone, and to make no enemies. Life is too short to be bitter all the time and create unneeded grudges between others. Life is to make the best of it, not to spend it alone.

In the world we live in today, religion is an extremely vibrant factor, not only in the environment surrounding us but with the people we interact with as well. In Ernest J. Gaines' novel, A Lesson Before Dying, it is easy to see how religion impacts the community. In a small community such as this novel depicts, religion is the driving force behind nearly every decision made in the story and can be justified solely on the individual's values.

The purpose of John’s life is to discover his real identity. He realizes that his desire and goals are different from what his family expects him to do. “Everyone had always said that John would be a preacher when he grew up, just like his father. It had been said so often that John, without ever thinking about it, had come to believe it himself”. John wants his father’s love, but there is a part of him that feels hatred for his father. “He lived for the day when his father would be dying and he, John, would curse him on his death-bed”. Despite John struggles with uncertainty about his salvation, he finally had his first religion experience. “Elisha,' he said, 'no matter what happens to me, where I go, what folks say about me, no matter what anybody says, you remember - please remember - I was saved. I was there.” John has chosen the path of religion, and now he is unlikely to remain under

Throughout literature, characters who live transcendentally share similarities. Their descriptions evoke clarity and purity, and their names often symbolize their beliefs. Mindful characters tend to stand out from the crowd, stepping away from the boundaries of society and choosing their own paths. As transcendentalism is difficult to develop alone, most of these characters have some sort of role model, someone to gain a message from. They then go on to spread that message to the people they meet. A transcendental character’s mission is to impact some un-transcendental character by bringing them clarity, and this can be seen in the characters studied this semester. The similar descriptions, messages, and impacts of conscious characters prove

Ben: Not unlike our progress upon this path. We have paved it through the chaos of the world around us, with a clear destination in mind for its adherents to follow and to expect every time they journey down the road.

During Ben's ophthalmology appointment Judah asks Ben If he can confide in him about a personal matter, confesses his infidelity and ask for direction. Ben replies by describing their two opposing moral pathways “It’s a fundamental difference in the way we view the world. You see it as harsh and empty of values and pitiless. And I couldn’t go on living if I didn’t feel it with all my heart a moral structure, with real meaning, and forgiveness, and a higher power, otherwise there’s no basis to live.” Even though Judah thinks of himself as a good moral person he believes it is a natural weakness in life. Albeit he feels remorse for the affair he doesn’t believe that outweighs the righteous things he has accomplished and he doesn’t feel that he

Ben exemplified compassion in many cases, were he would sacrifice himself or his personal trails for someone else troubles. In reality this scene can compare with real life cases in the world today how compassion can be shared with people to impact others. In the movie Ben finds himself falling in love with a girl name Emily, who has an enlarged heart that he later gave his life for her to survive. Ben shared compassion with 6 other people, but given the most compassion to Emily.
