Journey the Wardrobe of Parallels The “Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” is a fantasy novel written by C. S. Lewis. The fairytale is set in a magical world with no limits to the imagination. Endangered by World War II, four siblings named Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy where sent by their mom to live with Professor Kirke in a big house in the countryside of London. In the house there are many rooms and many doors. While playing hide-in-seek, the youngest child, Lucy discovers

No doubt there is horrific evil that exists within the world. Acts of violence, greed, and corruption describe moral evil that humanity commits while innocents suffer as well as the existence of natural evil such as catastrophic disasters and disease that plague mankind as well. All the while, a divine sovereign God who brought forth life governs over his flock of children that suffer as a result of these evils. The traditional theists believe God is all-knowing or omniscient, all-powerful or

and illustrates that the vagrants from Oklahoma are yearning for labor, provisions, and human decency. Similarly in To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee elucidates the concept that people should be treated with inclusive human dignity and be affected by good aspects rather than deleterious

One belief that people live by is that evil is the nature of mankind, yet there are others that feel man has good intentions but those intentions can be overrun by the devil. Nathaniel Hawthorne points out that the former is true of all people in the novel The Scarlet Letter. In this novel, there are three main characters who commit evil and sinful acts, but each act is at a different degree of sinfulness (i.e. the sins get worse as the story goes a-long). These three sinners, in the eyes of the

Finding Faith Have you ever felt so lost in the world with nowhere to go? So you just continued on a journey hoping to find your way back and exactly where you belong. I’m sure plenty of us have been through a road of lost direction. But, we keep moving forward hoping to find what we are looking for and figuring out how we made it on this journey in the first place. Nathaniel Hawthorne writes a story about a man named, Young Goodman Brown who was lost on a journey. During his journey

was a critical period for the British Navy. Great Britain was at that time an imperial presence all around the world. This included the Americas, Africa, Australia, India, and the Far East. All these territories had stretched British Naval forces beyond its capacity to govern and control such a huge empire. These complications eventually led to its decline. In contrast, the setting for Bartleby was New York City's Wall Street. During the early to mid 1800s, Wall Street was the center of America's

Good Versus Evil Theme There are many examples of themes throughout the readings assigned this semester. Many of these readings had similar themes while other did not. One major theme that can be seen in a lot of these readings is the theme of good versus evil. “‘Good’ means a lack of self-centredness. It means the ability to empathise with other people, to feel compassion for them, and to put their needs before your own. It means, if necessary, sacrificing your own well-being for the sake of others’

The problem of evil and suffering has been around for the thousands of years. It remains an expressive debate today as it is used as one of the main arguments by Atheists to state that God does not exist. It is said that the nature of God can be explained in three ways that God is omnipotent which means that he is all powerful, that God is omniscient which means he is all knowing and omnibenevolent which means that god is all loving. These statements cannot be true because evil exists in this world

A worldview is the framework from which we view reality and make sense of life and the world. I base my worldview on the infallible Word of God. I believe the Bible to be entirely true, that it is the foundation of everything I say and do. I believe in a Christian worldview in which my primary reason for existence is to love and serve God. I stand firm on “The Apostles Creed” believing in God the Father, who is maker of the heaven and earth.  I recognize that “in Him all things hold together” (Col

Likewise in the Jim and the Indians case, we could only act on our own good will and not kill anyone in the hope that the good will would prevail in the captain and his men. Deontologists would be of the opinion that something’s we are not expected to do, to perceive ourselves as moral agents. However opponents of the deontological view, such as
