The Bible tells us that man was newborns, children, and adults are all here by the grace of God. Yes, as humans we add meaning and purpose to our life. However, our main purpose from day one is to worship him. (126)

Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning describes life in a concentration camp and the mental and emotional effects that come with it. "Life in a concentration camp tore open the human soul and exposed it depths" (87). This essay details some of the specific themes of Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Two of the main themes in this book are love and hope.

    A country singer named Randy Travis once sang in “Three Wooden Crosses”,  “It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it’s what you leave behind you when you go.” This verse gives meaning to my life and defines what I will do when I am gone. A man by the name of Viktor Frankl writes the book, Man’s Search for Meaning. In this novel, Frankl is at one of the dreadful concentration camps during the Holocaust, trying to search for his meaning of life. What gives one meaning to his or her life? One might think they have no purpose in this world however, that is not true. He or she must find the people or concepts that make them happy or give significance to their lives. The meaning of one’s life can be interpreted

God made people to glorify Himself through a loving, personal, and purposeful relationship with God. This is man’s ultimate meaning in life, and it’s the reason so many have unfulfilled longings in life. Man’s ultimate purpose is a relationship with God and we were made to work together with Him and other people for His glory and our joy.

If something like an object or living being exists it then has a purpose for existing, but finding out this purpose seems almost impossible. The concept that people live for a purpose is strange, and if so what would this purpose be? A story called The Nine Billion Names of God, by Arthur C. Clarke offers a purpose for the human race to accomplish.

The book “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl is a story following Viktor, a psychiatrist, during his time spent in Jewish concentration camps back during WWII.

The story starts with Viktor explaining the transport and entrance to the camp.

Over the course of this year my thoughts, ideas, word choices, important quotes, and my papers in general have dramatically improved from the beginning to end. Although most importantly, the books that we have read and deeply discussed not only impacted the way I think as a reader, but has made me rethink some of my personal definitions. One word that has significantly stuck out to me this year, is the word self. It seems to be such a simple word to describe or relate to, but there are so many ways to interpret such a small four letter word.

   Lewis Carroll's Wonderland is a queer little universe where a not so ordinary girl is faced with the contradicting nature of the fantastic creatures who live there. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a child's struggle to survive in the condescending world of adults. The conflict between child and adult gives direction to Alice's adventures and controls all the outstanding features of the work- Alice's character, her relationship with other characters, and the dialogue. " Alice in Wonderland is on one hand so nonsensical that children sometimes feel ashamed to have been interested in anything so silly (Masslich 107)."

Why are we here? What is our purpose? If man is looking for a purpose, then is he saying

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll endures as one of the most iconic children 's books of all time. It remains one of the most ambiguous texts to decipher as Alice 's adventures in Wonderland have created endless critical debate as to whether we can deduce any true literary meaning, or moral implication from her journey down the rabbit hole. Alice 's station as a seven year old Victorian child creates an interesting construct within the novel as she attempts to navigate this magical parallel plain, yet retain her Victorian sensibilities and learn from experience as she encounters new creatures and life lessons. Therefore, this essay will focus on the debate as to whether Alice is the imaginatively playful child envisaged by the Romantics, or a Victorian child whose imagination has been stunted by her education and upbringing.

The consideration of the purpose of life has been ongoing and is never-ending throughout the course of history. The question itself has caused many people to generate many different strong views and opinions based on traditional, ideological backgrounds, and religious outlooks. The deliberation about the meaning of life will never end since there is not one reassuring basic, general answer. Instead, examine the question in another way, like, “What is my purpose in life?” The purpose of life varies from one person to another because of “free will.” While some people believe that for every human, life is called to some divine duty by God, everyone has a different drive that is waiting to be discovered within themselves, and people must set
