Like us, the disciples thought that the danger to them lie outside their little boat. Jesus though was quick to teach them that the real danger lie within the boat, within their own hearts.

In life we may go through hardships that take us down a path that benefits us in the future and make us stronger individuals. These hardships can influence a person’s life by making us face obstacles we don’t want to face and

Hardships have the power to make a break a person, as Roman poet, Horace, once said, “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant”.

Although misfortunes usually have a negative connotation, depending on the struggle and how one deals with it, it is likely the person will come out of misfortune better prepared for the world. Contrastly, if a person never experienced any hardships, they would lack a sophisticated understanding of the world and lack the ability to handle difficult situations. Adversity gives people strength they can not obtain with success.

Acts 27: 33-36. Can you imagine fighting a storm for two weeks and practically no nourishment? That’s what the men on Paul’s ship experienced. It is not difficult to understand why they had ‘gone without food’ those two weeks.

First, Peter swam across the Ullswater to escape the island his treason committing captors held him on. Peter described the Ullswater as, “. . . Long, and narrow. . .” (Trease 199), and his journey back to the mainland as, “. . . A quarter mile swim . . .”

“Titus suddenly filled this same theatre with water and brought in horses and bulls and some other domesticated animals that had been taught to behave in the liquid element just as on land.

Almost anyone in society can clarify that they have experienced depression or some type of isolation at one period in their life. It is true that experiencing such darkness causes a person to feel lonely and disconnected from the world. This can be portrayed in "Acquainted with the Night" by Robert Frost.

The interpretation of this poem can be literal in that Frost is used to walking during the night, but it also proposes a deeper understanding.

I will also explain the reasons why he may have made those changes and to what purpose those changes served.

Women are often perceived as mother figures who stand by their husbands no matter what type of situation they encounter. They are expected to give a perfect image to society and do not get the greater say. Eugene O 'Neill’s play, A Long Day’s Journey into the Night (1940), gives the reader a representation of a woman who is still influenced by these standard societal expectations. The character, Mary Tyrone, depends greatly of her husband and will not leave him even if she wanted to. In The Awakening (1899) by Kate Chopin, the reader is introduced to Edna Pontellier who is the complete opposite. She exposes the dissatisfaction that women feel and decides to act upon it. These two characters feel that they do not belong in the lifestyle they are given. They struggle with their identity due to their husbands’ lack of affection. As a result, marriage becomes a barrier to their happiness and individual fulfillment. The sense of displacement, marital dissatisfaction, and loss and gain of identity pushes both Mary and Edna to take major decisions in order to deal with their pain and desires.
