Then, of course, there is Lot’s offering of his daughters to these “gay” men. “6But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, 7and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof." (Genesis 19:6-8) Go to seminary and you may hear a bunch of song-and-dance

In his work, Gabriel García Márquez effectively illustrates the coexistence of cruelty and morality in society through the strategic utilization of magical realism. Traditionally, many myths and legends portray angels as elegant, beautiful creatures, but in Márquez’s short story the angel is portrayed as a disease-infected “ragpicker” (Márquez 1). The story begins when Pelayo and Elisenda, Márquez’s main characters, discover an old man lying in their courtyard. They are unsure of his origins, but

"If I told you that a flower bloomed in a dark room, would you trust it?" Kendrick Lamar presents the question of whether or not you could trust someone raised in a bad environment; in Richard Wright's 1940s novel Native Son and Jerrold Freedman's movie adaptation of said novel, a similar question is asked of whether or not a dark room can produce a flower to begin with. The question is asked through the character of Bigger Thompson when he commits a murder, the audience is forced to ask themselves

Pearl S. Buck once said, “A foreigner is a friend I have yet to meet.” Unfortunately, this is not how the local villagers see the angel, a harmless old man, who has crashed onto the courtyard of Pelayo and Elisenda’s home. Upon the angel’s arrival, he is met with suspicion, fear, and cruelty by the villagers. Yet, many would argue that this is no way to treat a foreigner who has wandered into a person’s community and would never do such a thing to a distant traveler. However, this is how most foreigners

I was not sure how to feel when I learned that my favorite producer had just released what was being marketed as a modern adaptation of my favorite of Shakespeare’s comedies, Much Ado About Nothing. I loved Whedon’s cult classics such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer since the shows had strong female characters who were unapologetic of their sexuality and were revolutionary in the way the shows portrayed queer relationships; however, his more recent work had left a bad taste in my mouth (namely Cabin

The young underdogs and their victories in the old testament is an interesting topic to think about in a theological point of view. These so-called underdogs went through many trials just as most of the characters do in the bible. What makes these characters so different is how they started out. They all started in a way that would make it hard for them to come out on top, thus hints the name underdogs. The obstacles they had in their way molded the characters. Each individual character can be seen

says, “everything is uncanny that ought to have remained hidden and secret, and yet comes to light” (The Uncanny. 4) which can be tied into the secrets that are unexpectedly exposed in the episode “Angel” (season 1, episode 7) of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. In this episode Buffy finds out her boyfriend, Angel, is actually a vampire, and must deal with her feelings towards him that lead to losing feelings of safety in her home, and with him, all while fighting other vampires. The sudden realization of

inspiring writer and unique ideas and powerful adjectives to make her writing special. If you liked the twilight series you should consider this book as it has a similar concept as twilight but with angels rather than vampires. Halo takes place when dark forces are overtaking earth. A trio of angels are sent from heaven to rebuild the destructing town of Venus Cove. The story is written in the point of view of the main character Bethany. They try to be discrete and keep to themselves as revealing

There are many difficulties in our daily life; we cannot stand against them without great power that can prevent any danger, evil, and obstacle facing us. This power is can be defined as God 's power which helps each one of us at every moment. Our faith in the God and his works are so important in making this power meaningful in everything we do. The faith looks like a window which let the sunlight illuminate the room; faith in God makes the light of God fills ourselves. The meaning of faith
