What Is The Significance Of Maudie's House Fire

     The fire spread from the O’Learys’ barn to the yards nearby. Soon it was spreading throughout the neighborhood. William Lee, a neighbor a block away, saw the fire and ran to Bruno Goll’s drugstore to turn in the fire alarm. Bruno Goll refused to turn in the alarm because he said the fire truck had already gone past. So instead of arguing, Lee went home to his family. At the courthouse the lookout on duty saw smoke, but thought nothing of it, thinking it was just Saturday's fire and there was no reason to be alarmed. Then he looked up and noticed it was a different fire and had his assistant strike the Box 342 for the fire department. Soon fire trucks were at the scene and attempted to put out the fire. The fire department’s Chief Marshal, Robert A. Williams got the engines to circle the fire to contain it. They got as close to the fire as they could until their arm hair was being burned and their

“About midnight, while we still sat up, the storm came rattling over the Heights in full fury. There was a violent wind, as well as thunder, and either one or the other split a tree off at the corner of the building: a huge bough fell across the roof, and knocked down a portion of the east chimney sack, sending a clatter of stones and soot in the kitchen fire. We thought a bolt had fallen in the middle of us.”

Leading up to the dormitory fire of that cold January morning that claimed the lives of three young adults, left over 50 others with serious injuries, and left many others in the cold wondering what had happened to their classmates/friends there had been a series of false fire alarm pulling’s. Some students were used to the false fire alarms and just figured it was another prank although this time had a completely different outcome. One of the residents that lived a few doors down from the lounge that the fire had broken out in stated that she thought “somebody was drunk and pulled the alarm” (Barry). Her thoughts of someone falsely pulling the alarm quickly changed when she looked outside her door and saw clouds of thick black smoke. The young woman previously quoted above and her dorm mates were among the lucky ones who got out unharmed. Some of the others who weren’t as lucky were being harmed by the fire with burns on their bodies although it didn’t spread past the lounge area where it

Providence means that God is in control and directs all things. It did not matter how bad of a day a Puritan had, they would say it is the Providence of God for me to have this bad day. One of the Puritan writers that show this belief is Mary Rowlandson in her book The Sovereignty and Goodness of God. After being captured by Native Americans and losing her daughter in captivity, she came to the conclusion that all of it is being orchestrated by God. She believe that in order to be a great Christian one must suffer and through God’s Providence she was enduring suffering to become a better follower of God.

Maud Martha, writing by Gwendolyn Brooks, is quite a unique piece of literature. The book being a novel that does not follow a linear path for telling events. The novel follows the events in the life of a negro woman names Maud Martha Brown. The novel starts with Maud being described as a girl and “what she liked was candy buttons, and books, and painted music (deep blue or delicate silver)” (Brooks 1). She also liked dandelions, despite them being a common flower, she thought that it was hard to believe that a thing of ordinary allurements… was as easy to love as a thing of heart-catching beauty.” (Brooks 2). Already at the beginning of the book Brook introduced the black and white contradiction between Maud and her sister Helen. Maud being the “a thing of ordinary allurements” and Helen being “a thing of heart-catching beauty” (Brooks 2). This is a major allegory for finding beauty in even the simplest things. The novel also covers several other events in her life, such as her courting, marriage and then the birth of her child.

As an exercise instructor I often have to find creative devices to cajole my students to comprehend the complex movements in Pilates, therefore I too admired the clever ruse employed by the Man in the Parable of the Burning House( Strong148). However, I had a slightly different impression of the Parable of the Burning House then you did. While you saw the use of upaya in the story, (when the man employs skillful means in the form of a white lie to entice the boys out of the burning house) I saw the entire thing as a metaphor for the Mahayanaist view of Bodhisattva and samsara. For instance, in Mahayana Buddhism, the Bodhisattva is called upon to remain in the earthly realms until all beings have been enlightened and are free from suffering.
