In The Sacred Quest, University of Notre Dame professor Lawrence Cunningham attempts the search for a coherent definition of religion. While he doesn’t strive for a one-sentence interpretation of what indicates a real, organized religion, he arrives on several elements and functions to give meaning to his definition. To Cunningham, there are five elements that make up a religion: belief, feeling, action, individual and community aspects, and values. Cunningham argues that these five elements exists in order to explain what could not otherwise be explained, enable people to sustain hope in the face of difficult experiences, and provide ways of thinking that provide goals and respond to “great problems” in life (158). All of these aspects work

The Pilgrimage of Grace was a religious uprising in York, England which started in late 1536 and finished in early 1537, where people lead by Yorkshire lawyer Robert Aske staged protests and demonstrations in opposition to King Henry VIII’s dissolution of monasteries and break from the Catholic Church. This rebellion was mostly aimed at Thomas Cromwell, who was Henry’s High Chancellor; and many of these marchers influenced Cromwell’s policies. The participants of the Pilgrimage of Grace had a goal to reinstate the Catholic Church, and a concern of the economic impacts caused by losing monasteries; those who opposed the movement had a goal to punish leaders and anyone associated with the movement and a political concern of losing power for

As readers we can not disavow our knowledge of Oliveira’s experiences in Paris, particularly regarding La Maga, when reading “From This Side,” but we should certainly consider the significance of this knowledge, which, for example, creates dramatic irony in the context of Traveller and Talita.

Faithful is just a guy who, like Christian, escapes his past life and pursues a life that is down the straight and narrow path of Christianity. A Righteous man, ridiculed, tortured, and finally burnt at the stake for his faith, Faithful lives up to his name and is the martyr of The Pilgrim's Progress—the one who suffers and dies for what he believes in. Before Christian meets Faithful on the road from the Palace Beautiful, Christian seems to be the only real pilgrim on the journey to the Celestial City. The others pilgrims he has met on his journey (Formalist and Hypocrisy, Mr. Worldly-Wiseman, Mr. Pliable) have either abandoned the journey for its extreme struggles or for being shown the hollowness of their faith. But Faithful is different unlike his friends he did not have a hollow faith so when he faced the trials and tribulations he did not deal with them because of his strong faith in the Lord.

The video starts off with showing the different religious rituals of the pilgrims, and then the video shows three different pilgrims in Malaysia, South Africa, and America. With that being said, they come to Mecca as a Sacred pilgrimage, and talks about how many people come, they com year round, and how it sacred territory. The video talks a lot about the Kaaba and the significance of that, how people, come around and worship what it means. Next the video shows many people strong in their faith who give wonderful insights. For example, they show one man who shows us what to wear and how to dress, and that the Hajj is a sign for redemption and continues to say Islam is one of the fast growing religions. It continues and briefly mentions Muhammad throughout the film. The video continues, and eventually shows that charity is a basic principle for the pilgrims, what pilgrims traded, and when it’s time for prayer everything stops. The video then continues and describes the reason for Mina tents, the schedule for the ritual sanctity, and eventually talks about the story of Abraham and Isaac. It continues to show the ritual of stoning, rejecting evil, cutting their hair,

Readers may find difficulties in identifying what the story is about at the first place and the images created by the author does not illustrate centralizing conception. On the other hand, author used ambiguity which is new criticism and seems tried to give the idea of looking through the glass from the other side. Complexity is in great extent in the story, especially when the writer switches and focuses on Carlos Argentino describing him as an unimpressive and an authoritative individual, therefore this leaves the reader in a confusion state as the essay tries to combine different issues in one understanding (Borges, 1945). The author seems to turn his attention to Carlos as he tries and the reader feels no underpinning or interlocking of the meaning reinforcing the paraphrase expected to be made also the association of the properties in the essay sounds complex for one to comprehend. The most impressive part of the story is ironic how the author views Daneri’s work; he suggests that the work did not lay in poetry but in his invention of reasons for admiring

At times I was feeling as I was walking that blurry boundary between facts and illusion and that I could fall if I make any wrong step. But, what was right and what was wrong in that hall of mirrors... Comparing daily my opinions and comments with the rest of the media brought me that uneasy feeling that I don’t belong there anymore, that there was broadening a significant gap between me and the majority of my friends in that profession. We greeted each other occasionally, but we choose the sides. My side was quite lonely - few groups of intellectuals, university professors, journalists, artists; all of them wonderful people, professionals in their fields, but stripped of their influence. Another side was vast and strong, built carefully during the time authoritarian, populist leader

The hangar was alive with activity and tense with expectation as Tensai peered through the pilot's access hatch, then as he crossed the threshold, he paused for a second, inhaling deeply and revelling in the pungent, heavy odour of burnt high-octane fuel and spilt oil. To him, this was the essence of power. Real authority. Not the kind lorded over by Kentali's political masters.
