By the next day, Ana's emotions flipped from vulnerability to spite; not spite for the sake of spite, and not spite in the name of laziness, but a sort of righteous hate.
Kat had no fucking idea what it meant to be God. Sure, she took care of the town, but she invested time and not suffering. She played it safe, staying so far ahead of the curve that she would never lose too much at once. She was too big to be hurt.
Being God means having your heart broken, all the time. It means putting your soul into something, only for that thing to sever itself from you without recognizing what it stole or fully appreciating the void it left in you. It means that you continually find your purpose in some new, fabulous and mysterious thing, which is torn

She couldn't remember... It was something important, probably the most important detail that was left out of the Bible. In this book, Judas was depicted as the most loyal believer in Christ, even until the end. As the moment of crucifixion came closer and closer, Judas and Jesus grew nearly indiscernible from each other in every aspect of appearance, countenance and mannerism. So much so that, in the moment that Judas and Christ kissed each other on their respective cheeks, they appeared identical and in complete synchronicity. A wave of emptiness rushed through the spectators as they were left to decide which of the identical twins was evil and which was …show more content…
Loneliness was just a rug that her ego got swept under. The dirt wasn't removed, only hidden.
Katrina was the forbidden fruit, not Ana. Katrina was the false idol; the lie.
The meaning of her life was taken from her in the instant that Ana reached for Katrina; she had no meaning now, which was to say, she had no particular thing that was binding her or guiding her; no particular person or location or creed that would limit her or imprison her.
Ana remembered that Kat was about to tell the story of her family's death; she was to reveal the moment that trapped her in a state of arrested development; the trauma that made her choose to never allow another person to affect her or change her. And in revealing that moment, should would face it and embrace it and integrate it, and become free, finally.
Ana thought about how she felt a tinge of sadness when Kat said "I apologize, but you may never hear the rest of that story." She felt helpless, as if Kat was choosing to stay in hell and isolation. But that wasn't true at all; it was no longer necessary for her to face that pain, because she simply poured it into Ana, and it became her burden
Everything she had hope for, gone. Everything the shaped her life, destroyed. Jason had told the Population Police that Nina had turned in third children-who weren't actually third children! She could of been executed right then because of him. “He had told the Population Police that she'd done something evil, and they were going to kill her for it.”(27) This shows that Jason had betrayed her. Thisis important because Nina's life could of ended right there. She survived though, but it leaves her with a feeling of mistrust, a feeling that hurts others. On page 30, this feeling of mistrust gets the better of her, and she agrees for a deal to betray others. “But sometimes even the Population Police can benefit from ignoring certain aspects of the law.” the police tells her. She is interested in this deal, for the she couldn't live with her suffering, and someone else not. One person who suffers, leads another to suffer, and so many people get hurt in the
Firstly, Kate is noticeably affected almost immediately after the death of her mother and father. We see this by her descriptive quotes about how she was feeling and the observations she made about others in her life. Some instances include “I remember being rigid with fear, not daring to look at him” (19), “it was like being at the bottom of the sea” (53), and “...there was a whirlwind howling through me” (54). These quotes represent how Kate felt overwhelmed by unmanageable emotions; she felt almost numb and empty. She even ends up cutting her finger just to feel something and it hardly hurt at all. This is a confused, traumatized little girl. Next, Kate is affected by the basic principles her parents taught. The simple memory of her parents provoked thought of the Presbyterian Commandments they would follow. These principles shape who she is and represent a background where people do not talk about problems or share emotions. “No, you swallow your feelings, force them down inside yourself, where they feed and grow and swell and expand until you explode, unforgivably, to the utter bewilderment of whomever it was who upset you” (36). Lastly, the trauma she has endured has made her scared. Scared of sharing feelings, scared of commitment, scared of loving someone. Daniel, Kate’s boyfriend, feels he is in the dark when it comes to Kate’s past and her emotions. This is because Kate is simply scared to love him. She proves this and it’s connection to her past by saying, “people I love and need have a habit of disappearing from my life” (89). The death of her parents has definitely shaped who she is but some may say, it helped her show resilience and strength to embrace her past and move
embrace her solitude. She enjoyed social interactions, yet she felt as if she never belonged in
Saint Judas was written by James Wright at the end of the 60s. Considering the format this poem can be regarded as a traditional Petrarchan sonnet with a rhyme of ababcdcdefgefg; however, the content of this poem and the way it was written is different. In this poem James Wright tried to mix the dramatic monologue with the Petrarchan sonnet, which is usually written in poet’s tone. Instead in this poem, the speaker is Judas: this enables the revealing of his thoughts and actions directly to the reader, so as to enhance his temperament and character.

The author uses anaphora on page 62 when he writes “I wanted to puke. I wanted to scream until my throat hurt. I want to see my mom again.” This demonstrates how all of it had come rushing back to her, like she just got the gist of what has happened in the last couple of months and she couldn’t hold it in anymore. To emphasis the fact that Cassie was tired, sick of what has happened, it makes you feel the distress the character is feeling and all the emotion swirling inside of her.
.Christian is one of the most popular religions in the western Europe that believe in Jesus Christ, but the Jews forged hatred with Christian since the ancient age by betrayed Jesus and nailed christian’s faith on the cross, which is reason why that only fewer christian are willing to save Jews
Every person experiences their own trials and tribulations, yet some face harsher confrontations than others. But through these seemingly unbearable encounters, people build the foundation for their future and concretize who they are and the lengths of which their character can withstand. In Becoming Anna by--- (something about her struggles to find an escape in this seemingly unendurable surrounding she has been subjected to).
She had never had much freedom. She was grateful for the opportunity to be involved as she was now in the realm of humans. However, she hadn't the slightest clue what to do in this exact moment. She had been found out. To what extend, she wasn't sure at the moment nor did she have time to think. And now? Her focus shifted to the man she yanked herself from. Red eyes flashed maliciously, swirling with dark promises of pain.
She was puzzled. Did they want Annabel to follow them? Where would they lead her? Would they lead her out to safety? As she pondered these questions, she thought about all that she had lost. It was right in that moment that she decided she didn’t have much left to lose. As she stood up, her head started to spin, she remembered how she smashed her head in the car crash. Her memories of the crash grew stronger and stronger and she became even more distressed about her parents. Why weren’t they here with her, what had happened to

As soon as Melanie heard what Anna had done, she felt terrible, they had just had a fight the day before and was supposed to be shopping today, and having a sleepover. Anna and Tom rode the bus together to the hospital. Anna’s dad was a doctor at the hospital, so the whole family gathered in Anna’s room, and Melanie ran to Hayley’s house to give her the letter. For the first time in forever, Melanie almost felt bad for Hayley. Hayley read the letter- thinking that she didn’t mean to make Anna kill herself, she meant for it to be one huge joke. Melanie left and ran back to the hospital.
She truly believed that these experiences were unquestionable. She explained how she had changed her for the better and became a stronger individual, and that her prayers were being answered differently from
Time and events as we know have been tracked by B.C. (before Christ) and A.D. (in the year of our Lord). In the Old Testament, prophecies point to the coming of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, Jesus came to earth, died and rose again. There are many questions to be answered about Jesus. Who is He? What did he do while he was alive? What was Jesus called? The answers to these questions are very clear.
