The Importance Of Credence To Fate

What is the idea of destiny in today’s society? How does it compare to Ancient Greece Society? Today, it can be seen as a minor thing, and people don’t think about it. In Ancient Greece, destiny was seen as a major part of their lives, and they even go to great lengths to fulfill their destiny the gods have set. In Sophocles’ work, Oedipus Rex is described as a loyal king, helping the people of Thebes, but once he loses track of his mission, his arrogance to follow the will of fate brings his downfall.

“Love Poem” by John Frederick Nims is an excellent of example of an author using many types of literary terms to emphasize his theme of a love that is imperfect yet filled with acceptance. In, this poem Nims uses assonance, metaphor, and imagery to support his theme of “Imperfect, yet realistic love”.

This contrasts sharply to the attitudes portrayed in ‘A kind of love some say’. The last stanza of the poem shows the persona talking about emotional pain, ‘Sadists will not learn that Love, by nature, exacts a pain, Unequalled on the rack. This shows us that the emotional pain of love can be worse than the actual physical pain described in the poem. This shows the

Rhonda, a friend of Andy’s, writes about her most frightening moment for her English homework. She chooses to write about the accident, stating, “I thought we’d all come back for our reunions and then we'd get old, and then, when we're so old it doesn't matter anymore, we’d die. But he's dead already. I didn't think it was possible. And that's why it's so scary.” Like many people, Rhona has likely never experienced the death of a close one before in her life. So when death strikes, it’s overwhelming and people often don’t know how to react. Before my grandmother passed away, only distant relatives I barely knew had died, so this became the first time I lost someone I truly cared for. But, like Rhonda, I could never prepare myself for when she did die. It’s incredibly scary to lose someone you love, and it’s especially hard when you aren’t sure of how to deal with death. The author included this section to relate to the readers, because most of them know the scary and confusing feelings after someone you care for dies and you’re struck with the reality of mortality.

I had never given much thought into how I would die. There’s something about being young that causes us to believe we’re invincible. It’s not like dying young is uncommon, it’s just that there’s something extra despairing about a life ending before it had really begun. Over the past 18 years, I’ve never thought twice about my mortality. I mean, it wasn’t anything special to me. I knew that I would eventually die, but eventuallies aren’t always as far as you think. Here I am, only 18 years old, my cold body

Life can be hard, especially with persistent lighting that is constantly striking; however, love gives the strength to wait out these storms. Jefferson’s execution date was set, and there was no way that he nor anyone else could change his fate. Sometimes, like Jefferson, the storm is not going to let up. It is important for one to acquire the strength to be able to brave out the storm instead. Love gives people this strength to brave the storms of

Since the beginning of documented history there has been a debate on whether mankind was born with the ability to make decisions, or if every action was already decided. For instance, if someone was to decide to go to the grocery store and was in a car accident and died, was it because they decided to go to the grocery store at that exact moment in time or because that was part of a bigger plan the whole time. Humans have always wanted to believe in something bigger than them and that can be seen as far back as the Mesopotamian cultures with the worshipping of gods. Predestination is a concept which most people take the side of free will or fate because people do not want to admit there may be a greater being that has total control and knowledge; however predestination is more that the decisions that are made are all a part of a greater picture and that people are following a path no matter what they choose.

In our hesitant humanly efforts to accept the ultimate fate, we find a painful truth, an

Sandra Cisneros illustrates in the poem “My Wicked Wicked Ways” a conflicted picture of a broken family. It presents the idea of unrequited love. The mother of the speaker is holding onto a man that has another partner, besides herself. Evidently, the father possesses strong feelings and emotions towards his beloved mistress. However, the mother belittles herself and accepts the infidelity. The hidden message behind “Here is my mother / She is not crying” reveals that the mother is unhappy about the abuse of her love and trust, but pretends to be okay for the sake of her child (Cisneros 185). Love and commitment goes hand and hand; it is impossible to have one without the other. Therefore, this example illustrates that the father does not wholeheartedly love his spouse. In consequence, his wife suffers emotionally and relinquishes these emotions through tears. The effects of this emotional abuse inflicted by unrequited love can subtly range from mood swings to a complete emotional shutdown. Crying is her most effective outlet. The poem continues with “She cannot look into the lens /because the sun is bright,” as it creates an excuse for the agony inflicted (Cisneros 185). It is evident that the mother of the speaker is only allowed to grieve short-term. Rather, she masks her emotions and allows it to kill her inside than to be portrayed as emotionally weak. Similar to the mother, most individuals that experience unrequited love tends to hide their sorrows because of shame. They are not only ashamed of their partners inability to love them correctly but at themselves for being ignorant to that fact. Many become angry at the world, few are in denial; most endure hopelessness, and others fall into a deep abyss of depression. What every individual that has experienced these one-sided expectations have in common is that they are all unhappy. Depression is the worst consequence of it all,

It appears as if I gained such massive extents of life morals propelled at me; however, I questioned whether or not the fact that I knew her was worth the grieving filled with such pain and agony. The favorable and pleasant memories felt to hurt even more prodigiously than the actual unfortunate event of her concluding her life.

The idea about free will and fate is still unsolved and debatable throughout the world. Some claim that humans have their own power to create their own destiny, however, others argue that they are inescapable victims of fate. The novel, Things Fall Apart, portrays the relationship between human’s determination to succeed and his or her own fate by describing Okonkwo as a tragic figure. While Okonkwo believes that he can overcome his fate through his hard work, Chinua Achebe reveals that fate is a powerful, inevitable event in the novel.

As you can see the sentences above signify that, love is powerful. In the novel, Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt, there were several different themes. I agree that love is powerful was supported in many ways

For my report I chose the connection of love in hardship. I chose this connection because I believe it is important to love and care for people even when it feels like you can't or that you shouldn’t. It is important to do so because loving and being loved back gives you this strength that can help you overcome your struggles and hard times. The three texts and a movie that I chose to do were, The B

In spite of this painful occurrence happening to me at twenty-four years of age, emotions such as shock, anger, and guilt, came into play creating chaos. I rerun her death in my mind, yet unable to completely forget the sadness, similar to a synopsis. These feelings can be frightening and overwhelming; however I have learned how to cope and with the realization that life and death are phenomenal both intertwined. I speculate that

Feelings so immense cannot be touched or translated in that way, through mediums so meticulous, even delicate. Or maybe that's not it. Perhaps they can only be touched, heard, and even seen. And it's these words that always get in the way.
