Love, generations, cultures, and family are the main theme to talk about in shorts stories, and in the story of “Hell-Heaven” by Jhumpa Lahiri, that is not the exception. However, it is an unusual and very enjoyable story where readers can identify themselves with it because the main characters are common people who have the same problems as many of us. If I have to summarize the story in one sentence, I can say that it describes the experiences of people who come from other cultures to the USA, and it is nuanced with an impossible love to make it more interesting and real. Also, the author divided the different parts of it with four important events which mark the transition

The short story "Hell-Heaven" written by Jhumpa Lahiri, is about the clashing of the cultures of a Bengali family settling in the west. While story is told in the child's point of view as she matures to a young woman, we're also given the experiences of the people around her through her eyes. These people include her mother, father and a family friend. They each have a different experience as an immigrant migrating and living in America, which leaves us to wonder what message is the author trying to convey with this piece of literature. However, the message to come from "Hell-Heaven" Jhumpa Lahiri is that immigrant families face struggles and tribulations living in unfamiliar territory and having to choose one culture over another.

Dante makes a creative correspondence between a spirit's wrongdoing on Earth and the discipline he or she gets in Hell. The Sullen stifle on mud, the Wrathful assault each other, the Gluttonous are compelled to eat stool, et cetera. This straightforward thought gives a hefty portion of Inferno's snapshots of stupendous symbolism and typical power, additionally serves to enlighten one of Dante's real subjects: the flawlessness of God's equity. The engraving over the doors of Hell in Canto III expressly expresses that God was moved to make Hell by Justice. Hellfire exists to rebuff sin, and the appropriateness of Hell's particular disciplines vouch for the heavenly flawlessness that all wrongdoing violates.

In Dante’s Inferno, Hell is a place that is pre- organized for each punishment; when a person sins, they are given a specific punishment made for that sin. Whereas in What Dreams May Come, Hell is a place where a person makes a Hell of their own, it is what they make of it. In the movie, Annie exists in a level where her Hell is living in a world without her husband and children, the biggest punishment she could have. Another difference between the two stories was how in Dante’s Inferno, Heaven is premade, but in What Dreams May Come, a person gets to have a Heaven in which they have made, it is a place where everything a person could have ever wanted, is going to be there. Two similarities that were interesting in the movie and in the poem

After a short while Abner returns with two warriors for Saul. “Thanks that will be all” Saul tells Abner who leaves, “Change clothes and return here to be my escorts” Saul’s tells them. Once they leave Saul changes clothes and get himself ready for the journey to Endor. Once the two return they leave. That night they arrive at Endor and find the witch. They enter her house and tell her they need a sprit called up from then dead. The witch tells them she needs a payment for her work and Saul pays. The witch is not aware it s Saul as she tells him its against the kings command to bring up from the dead and The king has cut them off out of the land and this could cost get her killed. He gives her assurances he will protect her. So agrees

What is hell like? This question has been on people’s mind for hundreds of years. Throughout history, there are many perceptions of hell, and some people do not even believe in hell at all. One of the most famous descriptions of hell is “Dante’s Inferno”, and he describes hell has nine specific levels. The levels are named Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery made for different types of people that committed sins under these circumstances.

The idea of making up a "Hell", or inferno, is not an experience in which I, even in my wildest thoughts, had started to imagine. Call me an optimist, but the idea of imagining Hell never appealed to me. However, as I read through the Bible, I have come across many images of hell and will now attempt to create a partial picture.

In both the old times and modern time of Christianity, one of the main controversial topics has surrounded one single word. Hell. Some people hear it and thing noting of it. Others shutter at the name. But everyone has questions about it, whether hell is real or a fable, eternal or temporary, physical or spiritual. Being in the Baptist community since birth, I have believed in a hell since I can remember because “to believe in God and not in hell is ultimately to disbelieve in the reality of human choices.” (Ross Douthat). My definition of hell comes straight from the Bible. That there will be “weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Mathew 13:42) and that God will say, “Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil

In the movie, From Hell the plot is based around the strategic string of murders of women in a prostitution ring. The success of this movie is accredited to the usage of dramatization, music, and its transitional cut scenes. “From Hell” is an intriguing, suspenseful, thriller that plays off of the audience's perceptions of horror due to their previous patterns of fascination. This movie effectively keeping their interest and builds suspense throughout the movie.

Around 1314, Dante Alighieri completed the Inferno, the first section of what would make up The Divine Comedy, a collection of three poems reflecting Dante’s imaginative journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. In these poems, Dante the poet describes the pilgrimage that Dante the pilgrim must complete to attain salvation. With the Roman poet Virgil as his guide, Dante the pilgrim must purge himself of his own sinful nature, which can only be achieved by observing and learning from those that have landed themselves in either Hell, Purgatory, or Heaven. Described in Inferno, his excursion begins in Hell where Dante learns about the stories and the sufferings of many sinners. As Dante the pilgrim progresses through Hell it is clear that he assumes different personas. In some instances, Dante the pilgrim is portrayed as an empathetic man who pities the sinners while on other occasions, Dante the pilgrim is portrayed as a callous and indignant being in regard to the sinners. While Dante the pilgrim is depicted in these two completely different ways, it is the insensitive portrayal that more precisely depicts Dante the pilgrim, as that is his true identity when he leaves Hell. His journey affected him so greatly that by the end of his pilgrimage, Dante the pilgrim has transformed from a compassionate man into an impervious and even cruel individual.
