What truths are you looking at if you have never come to know that truths of the Christian faith? Clearly the entire story’s focal point is demonic, literally. Joanie Riche writes, “It has helped me gain an understanding of how he forces of darkness try to undermine joy and truth” (Riche). That is exactly what the dangerous duo is trying to prove. That they can push this poor human to such limits that he/she will forget that God ever played a positive factor in their lives. These are real things that happen to people. Once devout believers suffer a trial—then suddenly and all together, the mere thought of the gospel is ridiculous. It is a harrowing truth. Many people are raised to be unbelievers. It does not matter to these devils, they are going to hell either way. In contrast, the Enemy holds a prominent position in the novel whether evident to most or not. “No temptation has overcome you that is not common to man, God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Screwtape often tells that the Enemy

The author helps us to understand exactly who our enemy is and who our enemy is not. Our enemy is not flesh and blood but, “principalities, and spiritual wickedness in high places”. People are often used by demonic spirits to act in adverse ways. We must never target people as our foes. The enemy would love to have us overlook him and turn on one another. Our brothers and sisters are not who we should fight. It is the spirit behind them using them to distract us into doing something we will later regret.

I believe that the people in a community are what make it strong. The relationships that are built throughout a community create a bond that links everyone together. When people are connected they care about more than their own well being. They care about the school system, the businesses, activities, and traditions that make one community different from the other. I believe that Waverly is a strong community, I see this strength at football games when so many diverse people are their cheering on the same team, I also see a strong community in the organizations that are set up to help those in need like the food bank and the backpack program.

Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is a book about a boy who travels down the river with a runaway slave. Twain uses these two characters to poke fun at society.

The three groups of people in the movie were Mannequins, Darkseekers, and survivors. The mannequins were the people that did not believe with their whole heart, the darkseekers were the infected that relates to the dark evil that were never saved by the light, the survivors are the people that have not been infected that follow and stay in the “light” of God. The only people to get to the Survivor’s Colony were the non-infected people that see the light of God. The Survivor’s Colony can be related to the Holy Land and rebirth. Rebirth was assured through the cleaning of the “infected” by being either a darkseeker or a person that follows the light of the God. God gives many second chances to people that are not in the light such as Robert Neville gave to the darkseekers, but they would not take the chance so they remained in the dark out of God’s light. 666 is the price on the gas pump that represents “end times” because of the darkseekers taking over the Earth trying to infect everyone, so the world would be ending with evil engulfing the rest of the remaining world. The main reason that 666 is so evil because the devil’s number is in fact

For instance, during the play a sketchy coworker break into the office below. “ ( he is about to blow out the candle when suddenly there is a crash of something falling below. They are freezing [in] horror motionless. For a few seconds there's a complete silence).... there is a crash of something falling below)...…”it was a thief.” ” The crook Carl, is a representation of how quickly people forget about valuable moments. Beforehand, Anne hands out gifts to everyone.This shows that she cares for everyone,but all goodness is lost when they find out that a thief has broken in and now knows about their true identity. thus showing that the bad has outweighed the good in the situation. During this point in the play they have forgotten about Anne’s contribution and are now focused on the thief. No matter how hard positive people try, the grim moments are always more remembered . It’s easier to summon them, because they are a painful part of a one’s life. One author adds, “Those who are good at heart are in the vast minority. ….What humans do, and what humans allow, is clear evidence of the depravity, greed, selfishness, meanness, cruelty, evil in us. If Anne Frank had survived the concentration camp I am sure she would have changed her assessment about people being good.” (http://www.debate.org/opinions/are-people-good-at-heart ) there are admittedly numerous amounts of magnanimous individuals out there. However, there are also unquestionably hateful ones too. Some would say the world contains more crooked people than admirable folks.Sometimes the evil in this world is so big that we can forget about hope.We don’t think about what life would be like without these despicable people. The dire times can be seen as the most serious incentive. For example, on the news people are more likely to hear about criminals as opposed to a story somebody who is helping others.
