the man holds despite going through events that should make him question it. But the sole reason the man holds onto his faith is because of his son, which drives him to keep from doubting not only his faith, but himself. By highlighting faith and doubt throughout the novel, The Road shows that even though some people may have everything taken away from them, it’s better to keep a strong faith than to give up all hope whatsoever; Within the first few pages, the novel is already hinting at
Never did I show my encroaching darkness. No matter how far my doubt and insecurity dragged me, I continued to walk with my chin up and chest out. I at least looked powerful. I thought I was in control of my problems, but the long hours I isolated myself from life told me otherwise. I believed my problems would part
trust. If done otherwise, with a poor foundation, all other structures will collapse. He then proceeds to explain the means by which we can test and cast this knowledge and see if they are substantiated. Descartes accomplishes this by means of using doubt: “…I will at length apply myself earnestly and freely to the general overthrow of all my former opinions. But, to this end, it will not be necessary for me to show that the whole of these are false—a point, perhaps, which I shall never reach; but as

Polly is fully aware that she thought of Amari as ‘Dirty and Disgusting’, but she is able to look past her previous thoughts and doubts about her work together with her in the “situation”. The second quote is very early into the novel, but very strongly shows her change. Polly, in a sense, admits she doubts Amari’s intelligence.

The main word that pops out at me is the word doubt. The poet could have said “I absolutely know God is good” yet he added the word doubt as if he is unsure of what he is saying. The tone pattern of uncertainty continues to be expressed throughout the sonnet. For example, line 2 “And he did stoop to quibble could tell why” and line 4 “Why flesh
CNN reporter Nick Valencia was the interviewee for my topic of the killing of Jeremy Mardis. This interview was information-gathering because Nick had reported on the story of Jeremy. Both Nick and I had established a rapport because I was scheduled to meet with him to ask him about his career and professional advice. Nick was called in for a story which led to us doing a thirty-minute telephone interview that was moderately scheduled for a Saturday afternoon in which I asked Nick various questions
crucified, and how they died. But I always found myself wanting to know more about Thomas. He always interested me. I thought that maybe it was because we don’t know much of his background or because he’s known to be the bravest, but he also had his doubts. But now I believe this is because I can completely relate to him. The more that I look at his other qualities besides being doubtful, the more that I realize we’re a lot alike.

When you think of a “spiritual being” you think of a few specific characteristics. I often think of things like powerful, scary, maybe even sneaky when I hear spiritual being. Normally when they are present in a situation, strange things seem to happen. They often seem to have a weird effect on things like animals or other objects like water or fire.
