Santa Teresa

Mother Teresa has won it all, from the hearts of even the non-Christians to the Nobel Peace Prize, and posthumously, a prestige that most of us nor wish nor dream of, one which elevated her above us all: sainthood. In Mother Teresa’s canonization, she is immortalized by Pope Francis as an icon of love and compassion, highlighting her commitment to saving lives, claiming her “a generous dispenser of divine mercy,” and her whole life “an eloquent witness to God’s closeness to the poorest of the poor”

Let us all thank God for this meeting ("Transcript of Mother Teresa´s Acceptance Speech"). I am Mother Teresa, the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity and Patron Saint for Doubters (Eisenstadt-Evans, “Mother Teresa's canonization: She is the ‘Patron saint for doubters’”). I was born in Skopje, (the capital of the Republic of Macedonia) Albania in 1910. I’m a Roman Catholic and from the age of 18 began to study to become a nun in Ireland (Gray, 60). In September of 1946, I received

Breaking the Bonds of Oppression in A Jury of Her Peers                Susan Glaspell’s "A Jury of Her Peers" is a view into the lives of farmer’s wives in the Midwest at the turn of the century. These women live in a male dominated world, where the men consider them incompetent and frivolous. The only identity they have is that associated with their husbands. They stay at the farmhouse to complete their repetitive and exhausting chores. The wives have little or no contact with the other

Susan Glaspell's play Trifles explores male-female relationships through the murder investigation of the character of Mr. Wright. It also talks about the stereotypes that women faced. The play takes place in Wright's country farmhouse as the men of the play, the county attorney, the sheriff, and Mr. Hale, search for evidence as to the identity and, most importantly, the motive of the murderer. The attorney, with the intensions of proving that Mrs. Wright choked the husband to death, was interviewing

with them. Sister Teresa now 38 went to stay with the Medical Mission Sisters in Pantra to learn some basic nursing skills. She only spent a few weeks there as she had been only given only a year to prove herself. In December she returned to Calcutta to start her own life and moved in with the Little Sisters of the Poor in the slums of Calcutta. Within weeks she was joined by her would be novices, mostly girls from the school where she was head mistress. By 1949, Mother Teresa was granted Indian

Feminimity and Masculinity in Trifles by Susan Glaspell Works Cited Not Included Trifles, a one-act play, written by Susan Glaspell, has an interesting plot about an abusive husband?s murder at the hands of his abused wife on a secluded farm in the Midwest (Russell, pg. 1). The opening scene of the play gives us a great deal of information about the people of the play and their opinions. The play portrays the ways in which men treated women during this time period. The men in the reading reflected

some of the most wonderful people on this earth. The other topic I felt was interesting in the book, is when Mother Teresa speaks of her thoughts and feelings on abortion. There are several sections in the book, where she talks about abortion. I do agree with Mother Teresa’s points on abortion. We are killing innocent children that God has created. In one section where Mother Teresa is in an interview answering questions, one question was referring to abortion. I want to quote her answer because it

“Trifles” by Susan Glaspell observes the different reactions characters have due to a murder case. Each of the characters emotions are captivated within the dialog and fundamentally an understanding of the state of mind that lies beneath the scene. The play explains the psyche of the suspect who feels justified due to their past experiences, the sympathy shown from a friend who wasn’t always there, the difference in thought process amongst genders, and the empathetic struggle between law and justice

St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta was the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity. She dedicated herself to helping the less fortunate of Calcutta, India. Mother Teresa didn't turn her back on God, nor did she turn her back on the poor and sick people of Calcutta, India. She helped several homeless sick people regain their strength and find faith in God again. Mother Teresa accepted her calling from God and followed the path which was set for her. Though Mother Teresa is considered one of
