Arrow of God

In “Sinners of an Angry God,” Jonathan Edwards depicts God as almighty yet wrathful and hell as a grotesque eternal home for sinners. Edwards uses personification, simile, and metaphors to make people to return to the righteous path.     Hell is said to be the worst place to ever exist, and it is greatly feared about on earth and in the minds of people. “Hell is gaping for them, the flames gather and flash about them, and would fain lay hold on them and swallow them up,” this illustrates personification

Angry God” as well. With strong connecting imagery to their listeners, both these writings portray the religious views to their way of life. As she stood in front of her once burning home, Bradstreet wrote “here stood that trunk and there that chest...under the roof no guest shall sit…” Bradstreet uses imagery to describe that her house is completely burned to the ground and that her once flourishing home can no longer house her or her guests. “ The bow of God’s wrath is bent, and the arrow made ready

Jonathan stated in one of his sermons, “ The bow of God’s wrath is bent, and the arrow… on the string,... it is nothing but the pleasure of God… that keeps the arrow… from being made drunk with your blood.” (Para. 2). This quote means that God is ready to shoot his arrow at us if we don’t repent. This quote is important because it shows God’s hate for sinners, which scares people to repent. Patrick Henry influenced his society

Cupid In Roman mythology Cupid is the god of affection desire and errotic love. His Greek counterpart is Eros, and he is the son of the Goddess Venus, who in Greek mythology was known as Aphrodite. Cupid is depicted as a boy with wings and an arrow and bow. Legend has it that whoever is shot by Cupid’s bow will be overcome with uncontrollable desire and lust. At first he was portrayed as a tall slender boy but he eventually began to be portrayed as a chubbier and smaller. This portrayal of Cupid

Apollo According to the Greek poet Hesiod, “Apollo is the son of the Olympian Zeus and Titan Leto who is the goddess of dark nights. Artemis is his twin sister, who is also an Olympian”(Hesiod). He is the god of sun, light, music, and prophecy. Besides, he is also the god for both medicine and healing. Apollo is associated with medicine and healing through his son, Asclepius. Yet, he could bring ill health and deadly plague (Houle 34). He is feared as he is able to bring ill health to mortals. Apollo

Jonathan in his sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (July 8, 1741), claims that the unconverted are hanging from the hands of God, and can be dropped off to the eternity of hell, his sermon is used to make the sinners be afraid and understand how the power of God is saving them, but it is only for his pleasure, unless if they return to Christianity. Edwards strengths his argument by using metaphors and imagery of a wrathful God to make the unconverted people afraid of being sinners and encourage

Apollo and Green Arrow/ Oliver Queen When I first learned about the Greek god Apollo in my Classical Mythology class, he reminded me of Oliver Queen. Oliver Queen is a character from one of my favorite television show called “Smallville”. He inherited a big industrial empire from his parents when they passed away. He was a playboy who did not care to give back to the society and only did what pleases him. One day, when Oliver was out on his boat, he was pushed overboard into the sea by an employee

Zeus wants to take a vacation but can not go unless he leaves the Olympians with a leader. He needs to appoint a temporary replacement and he is interviewing Gods for the

My god is Apollo the god of the sun. Apollo was famous for being an archer he shot the farthest arrow with a silver bow. The Greeks worship Apollo because he was the god of music, and healing those were some of Apollo’s important roles that’s why the Greeks worshiped him.
