The Gift Of The Near-Rearing-Baptisms In Foster's Film Titanic

The “Baptism in Water” is the first significant procedure that believers should appropriate themselves after they have concurred with the gospel and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives. Following Jesus example, these people comply with the observance of “Water Baptism,” because they are likewise expressing their belief and obedience to the will of God by living their new life in Jesus Christ. What important powerful spiritual phenomenon believers have to understand they should inherit when they go though the ordinance of “Water Baptism”? Matt. 3:13-17, provides a powerful evidence on this

“Mother is this ship really safe and unsinkable?” said Mary Anne Louise to her mom while she started to walk towards the RMS Titanic “I have the same question as the girl… Is this ship really unsinkable?” said a lady known as Mrs.Sylvia Caldwell. “Of course it is unsinkable God himself could not sink this ship!” exclaimed the crew member as he helped her up the steps.After they entered the ship, she stood in amazement see how this ship was designed.She suddenly saw a girl dressed in a simple, pretty white dress and a large bow on the back of her head.She wanted to say hi but her mom wouldn’t let her because she was a lower class than her

Baptism is often understood to symbolise the resurrection of Christ-the revival of the sinner to a life of righteousness. Romans 6:3-11: “Do you not know that all of

Connection: The biblical story, Jonah and the Whale, is an example of Baptism. God gave Jonah a job, but he set off in another direction. Suddenly, there was a storm. The boat was tossing in the middle of the sea. No one on the boat knew what to do. Jonah knew that the storm was because of him. God was with him. Everyone prayed for forgiveness and they threw Johan into the water. The storm immediately stopped. God heard Jonah’s prayers and sent a fish to rescue him. Jonah lived in the fish’s stomach for three days. He prayed to God for help. When it was safe, the fish spit Jonah out onto the land. Jonah was cleansed when he returned back to the land. Being tossed into the water was symbolic. He was reborn after the incident.

In How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster, he exclaims that when someone is thrown into the water, it symbolically has the same pattern that is seen in baptism. The pattern is death and rebirth becoming a medium of the water. Furthermore, this chapter relates to The Stranger as signs of water, such as swimming pools and the beach, submerges people into having a new start or ending their life. Failures of baptism is also present within the novel.

Titanic portrayed sexuality with attraction between a man and a woman. Rose was a beautiful woman whom her fiancée Hockley was the son of a rich and powerful steel mill owner. However, the sexual interest here was actually in the form of business. Rose was marrying him because of the money Hockley would inherit when his father died, a very prominent practice during that time. Men with power and money were shown to be desirable from all of Rose 's companions on the ship. This common theme of sexuality was broken from Jack 's introduction into Rose 's life. Jack was a polar opposite of Hockley, and he took on a different theme of sexuality of being free, seeing a woman as an equal, and not being rich. Jack ' sexuality was expressed in may forms different from Hockley. When he saved Rose from falling overboard, in his folk-style dancing with Rose, and in his chase of Rose which included kissing and having sex with her. Jack’s simple flirtation with Rose and his later aid in her freedom from the gender binds she was in became the cornerstone of the theme of the movie.

The importance of “baptism” scenes is very clear in a lot of literature. It symbolizes a washing away of the old, a new start. A good example of this is in the book “Fahrenheit 451” by Thomas C. Foster. This book is not only about burning, it is also about rebirth. Guy Montag is in the middle of running away from his rebellion, being hunted for reading books that he is supposed to be burning and killing a man. Montag reaches a river and jumps in to protect himself from being caught. He quickly changes his clothes so the mechanical dog’s do not find him and hides, floats, and waits in the water. As he comes to land on the other side of the river and we see him change as a person. He was stripped of his old life burning books and started a fresh

The Titanic movie begins with a salvage crew looking throughout the debris of the huge ship, in the hope to find a blue shiny diamond that is called “the heart of the ocean”. They instead find a photograph of a young lady wearing the diamond around her neck. That lady was Rose Dawson; while she was watching Tv, she sees her photograph and sets off to find the man who found it, then she joins them on their ship and the story of the Titanic ship begin. The story starts talking about two fictional characters, Rose and Jack, and their brief love affair aboard the ill-fated ship. Rose is an upper-class woman born into high society; Jack is an aimless drifter of much lesser means. While their love story, and the ship's sinking, are the main plot, this film depicts the glaring differences between the social classes both in how they live and how they are treated. The author mentioned that the Titanic displays in a dominated ideology since it is not focused on one audience but, it concerns about many audiences, which includes lower, middle and upper classes. Basically, the movie shows how the lower class struggle against with upper class and love overcome everything eventually. Even though this movie is a love and romantic story, the presentation of racial discrimination, and race throughout the movie. In this movie, I will argue two sociological themes. Social satisfaction and race play a big role in the movie Titanic. The Titanic movie demonstrates the ideology of race and class.

Baptism has been a sacrament and also a regulation of Jesus Christ. In some denominations, baptism is also known as christening, but many people know christening as baptism for infants. The most common form of baptism known among the earliest Christians was for the person getting baptized that their whole body be submerged underwater or like a quick dunk, also another way is by standing or kneeling in water and having water poured on the person. Another form of baptism now in use includes pouring water on the person’s forehead;

 Standing in line for the baptism felt peculiar, from the vantage point of the soon to be baptized it looked similar to a group of children bobbing for apples in a communal line. As the probably now bacteria filled water encroached closer the main thought parading around my head was the triumph due to leaving boy scout camp for this, to become a born again Christian. Born again Christian, what an uncanny phrase I comprehended its meaning, but it still seemed a bit foreign, leading to the question of what it truly meant to be Christian. Before the train of thought could continue on its tracks I was dunked in

- Drowning is symbolic baptism, if the character comes back up, symbolically reborn. But drowning on purpose can also represent a form of rebirth, a choosing to enter a new, different life, leaving an old one behind.

As Hugh was explaining the importance of baptism and what it truly is, I found myself reflecting on what I have been taught about baptism. Even though i feel that I was raised to see baptism similar to how Hugh believed it to be, there was this sense of true passion and understanding as to the real importance of baptism. That is just is not a time for you to be wash of your sins, but a time for you to realize that without baptism, salvation is almost impossible. That Jesus himself said, unless you are baptised in the the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. I feel modern Christians have lost that true sense of what baptism is and I truly believe that this is something that needs to be readdressed in the Protestant

The Soap ad in the 1958 film A Night to Remember is one of the first implications of social class that is illustrated throughout the entire film. It begins by first introducing the viewer to the middle class hero, Lightoller and his view of the class system of 1912 where he mocks the discrepancy of class aboard the Titanic amongst the elites and the lower class passengers (Bruce). And despite this, the advertisement seems to better illustrate the idea of decadence that is found on the ship. As already noted, the scene seems to mock the elite class as Lightoller states that the soap is “for the first-class passengers, mark you. The rest don’t wash” (A Night to Remember). It is here, that class is clearly evident through the reaction of the

As one is baptised, they are said to be ‘reborn’ when they emerge from the water (Lawrence, 2006), and the ‘stain’ of original sin is washed away (Saunders, 1998). In a purely physical sense, only the body has been washed from physical filth, but when looked at through the lens of symbolic spiritualism, it shows that the body and mind has been cleaned away of all previous sin to allow a closer relationship with God. This is the initiation process into the Catholic Church, however it is only one of many before one can obtain the title of a true Christian (Abrams, 2003). Once baptised, it is said that the person is part of a community that seeks out the coming of the Lord (Water Baptism, 2016). Divergently, it is clear that when one is submerged, they are symbolically dying alongside Jesus on the cross, taking the place of the thief. They are said to have had their old body killed, died alongside Jesus, only to be remerged from the water as a new person, spiritually clean, much like Jesus’ resurrection. The participant takes place as the thief next to Jesus, who did not have time to be baptised on the cross, however still pledged himself to Jesus, who said ‘Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me’ in (Luke 23:42). Another vital use of water in the Catholic faith is the use of holy water throughout the places of worship (Johns, 1997). Holy water fonts are placed at the entrances of these places of worships and Churches in accordance to the Jewish practice of purification in the Old testament. Holy water is described in the book of Leviticus to ‘remove uncleanliness’ associated with many everyday aspects of life. According to priests, holy water also acts as a way to show a symbolic removal of sin (Oestigaard, 2013), protection of evil and a way to remember our Baptism into the faith (Saunders, 2016). When looked at in relation to Baptism, it is evident

Interpersonal communication plays a major role in everyone’s daily life. Because it is so important, theorists have developed two views about how to determine whether a transaction is interpersonal or not. We will be looking at the situational and the developmental view by applying it to a scene from a movie in order to determine which one is a better indicator. The particular scene that will be discussed is a scene from James Cameron’s Titanic. The scene takes place the day after Jack sees Rose hanging off the edge of the ship while she debates whether she should jump or not. Jack convinces her not to jump, and she agrees. But, her foot slips and Jack saves
