Khalil Gibran

Gibran Khalil Gibran The raw power of nature has always been an inspiration to the world around us. Gibran Khalil Gibran has depicted the power of nature and applied it in his theories in philosophy, his painting, and his passion for poetry and literature. The style in which Khalil unifies life and its beauty makes his writing very good. His style of writing is very peaceful and ear- friendly. A factor of his sacristy to women, life and beauty is the locations he has been to in his life. Throughout

their specific beliefs, or the choices they make can give a deep insight into someone’s culture. I feel that culture, in one way or another, is clearly presented in “On Crime and Punishment” by Khalil Gibran as well as “The Journey of Ibn Fattouma”, by Naguib Mahfouz. “On Crime and Punishment” by Khalil Gibran discusses how crimes are committed, but there is almost always more to the story. Even though this is Arabic literature, I feel that this applies to many cultures. In most cultures, including

Lord of the Flies by William Golding is an explanation of the tendencies of human nature. It could be described as a classic good vs evil situation. Khalil Gibran’s poem Good and Evil puts forth a very similar message, of the power struggle between good and evil within ourselves. Both works ask us: what are the limits of the human spirit and how do we fight evil within ourselves? In the book Lord of the Flies, evil is presented as being innate, unwanted, even though it can be used to motivate and

within a religious context. Khalil Gibran’s 1923 masterpiece The Prophet is a collection of twenty-six short sermons delivered by the prophet Almustafa to the people of Orphalese before his departure home. The lack of a concrete storyline makes the entire novel a soapbox for Gibran to stand on and preach his wisdom. In fact, the absence of the Prophet’s name from anywhere in the book, except for the beginning, helps to blend the identities of Almustafa, the narrator, and Gibran. Blurred lines between

mournful men and women with hate filled and evil behaviors. Khalil Gibran shows us that many other uses of poetry can be used to express ideas on a widely debated topic on good and evil. In William Golding’s, Lord of the Flies, and Khalil Gibran, The Prophet, their extremely different views of good and evil are apparent. Golding proclaims that evil is in everyone, and that they are born with it from the beginning. On the other hand, Gibran suggests that everyone is inherently good and born pure,

Lord of the Flies by William Golding is an explanation of the tendencies of human nature. Likewise, Khalil Gibran’s poem GOOD and EVIL puts forth a very similar message, of the power struggle between GOOD and EVIL within ourselves. Evil, naturally, is the easy way out and the more tempting of the 2 powers. But, the human race has evolved over thousands of years to become tenacious, to fight for survival, to be a metaphorical light in a dark, unpropitious situation. Both works ask: what are the limits

Kahlil Gibran was born in Lebanon which subjugated to Ottoman dominion. The people of Mount Lebanon had struggled to gain independence from the Ottoman rule. The Mount Lebanon area was a troubled region, due to foreign interferences. Since childhood he enjoyed solitude in the natural surroundings of the cascading falls and the rugged cliffs, this had symbolic influence to his paintings and writings. Due to his poverty, he did not receive any formal education or schooling, only regular visits to
