They used a hard vocabulary to contain the terrible softness. Greased they 'd say. Offed, lit up, zapped while zipping. It wasn 't cruelty, just stage presence. They were actors. When someone died, it wasn 't quite dying, because in a curious way, it seemed scripted, and because they had their lines mostly memorized, irony mixed with tragedy, and because they called it by other names, as if to encyst and destroy the reality of death itself.

“The Great Dying” was the largest mass extinction ever recorder in the Earth’s history. It was the death of approximately 90% of all living species, such as, the trilobites, sea scorpions, and coral dating back to 254 million years ago (Randall). It is suspected that the eruption of many volcanoes in the Siberian Traps was the fallout of these species because the eruption killed off almost all plant life, leaving nothing for the animals alive. However, researchers have found new evidence to suggest that acid rain was the cause for this destruction (Randall).

Looking back, there have been times in my life when I found myself just where Leming (2011) found himself, standing at the crossroad of frustration. This is a terrible place to be caught in, especially when you are in search of answers for your own life and others are looking to you for answers to aid them with addressing life’s issues. Perhaps, if and when I come to this place in my life again, I can approach it differently than before. In addition to the abundance of information that was provided in this book that will help me if and when I am faced with this situation or similar situations, I will do more in-depth studying on these sensitive topics. I am motivated to continue educating myself about death beyond the classroom setting to ensure that I am adequately prepared to counsel clients dealing with end-of-life issues. As I read through this book, I saw the importance of understanding the topic of dying as they are critical components in my career and field of study. Although Leming and Dickerson (2011) shared some information that was not new to me as I have seen or heard it before, they still gave me a wealth of new information that I can refer back to as I progress forward in my career as well as in my personal life.

Why was I the one to get pulled? There were so many people at the party and I was the one to get interrogated? My luck. The officer sat me down at a table in a bland room with non-transparent glass. He sat down across from me and looked at me with a death stare. After about a minute or so, he said “ Hello Mr. Khalifa, I’m officer Marcus Hopson”. I sat apprehensively thinking about what to say. “Okay well you already know what you’re in here for, so start talking” Hopson said. All I could do was look down. Once I decided to talk, I said “What are you wanting to hear from me?”. Hopson laughed and turned around to look at me in the reflective glass. Looking at me more intensely in the glass, he said “Don’t play stupid. We know you were at that
The amount of factories and industries has grown immensely through the previous years which has resulted in an expansion in the consumption of petroleum products. Innovation has begun to increase and has promoted the expansion of the production of cars.

As with most other Pauline attributed documents, 1 Corinthians is believed to be a single document that addresses salient topics and rationalizes Paul’s view of faithfulness to Christ with Corinth citizens. The newly founded church of Corinth was in correspondence with Paul requesting his answers to questions they posed on topics ranging from marriage to the resurrection of the dead; the latter being one of the most highlighted in 1 Corinthians. Paul’s assurance of resurrection illustrates a concern for Corinth as he admonishes their disbelief in resurrection of the dead with a series of explanations as to why such doubt would render the faith of Christ “in vain”. Given the context of the time, Paul’s correspondence with Corinth clearly
