Hope Was Here

due to the depletion of faith in religion following World War I. Initially, the speaker reveals that following what was known as “the war to end all wars,” the men who had fought are now void of true substance and are only a shell of their prior selves. Specifically, the speaker describes the voices of the hollow men to be as “quiet and meaningless / as wind in dry grass” (9-10). Here, Eliot’s simile demonstrates the lack of purpose the veterans of the war now possess. Just as wind in grass creates

Daniel 7:14, Zechariah 14:9). In the New Testament, Jesus talked frequently about the kingdom in ways that show it is here now, partially here, or has not come at all yet. "While Wesley anticipated a soon return of Christ to claim his Kingdom, he stressed, like Paul, that there was no need to be sitting around and waiting; we need to be busy as signs and signals of that Kingdom here and now." Wesley made a distinction in the kingdom of God by describing two dimensions of the kingdom. One is the "Kingdom

The conch embodies both power and a form of Government. However the conch’s powers were fake and only worked if people agreed they did-Jack didn’t care about the conch, “Piggy held up the conch… He shouted ‘I tell you, I got the conch!’... The booing rose… Now Jack was yelling too (Golding 180).” Jack and his crew didn’t

This atmosphere of carbolic and gangrene clogs the lungs, it is a thick gruel, it suffocates” (Remarque 29). Paul’s senses were overtaken by war, the smell of the hospital overwhelms

through not only our leadership classes, but also our daily lives and roles here at the United States Naval Academy. The lessons and principles we learn from class relate directly to our life in the halls and on the Yard and make us better followers, leaders, and people. One of the most important elements of leadership is self-actualization. We took many personality tests in class to discover our strengths and tendencies. I was not surprised by my results. I know that I am introverted and prefer to

Teachers, members of faculty, families, parents, friends and most importantly, the class of 2017. Congratulations on your achievement! Today, standing before all of you, has made me conflicted. I came here 7 years ago. Adjustments had to be made in order to adapt to a country so different from the one I used to live in.
