Sinners Like Me

consumer society conceals a darker, more desperate reality beneath the barrage of carefully crafted images incessantly for our attention” (pg.37). John Hayes points out that living in the first-world, we are fed an allusion to what the world really looks like, and we rarely and minimally see the world for what it truly is. The truth is that even in our own prosperous nation that “one child in four is born below the official poverty line”, and that the number of poor people in our own country increased by

is one of the many forms of punishments that some sinners have to endure. The beast portrays a consequential form of a corresponding sin committed by a soul in his or her live on Earth. Several structural pieces of Inferno including the dialogue, length, and shape define the allegory which is presented in an action and consequence manner; if one does bad she or she will have a place in Hell. Dialogue displays the general outcome of the sinners; since they did evil, they have to

‘Inferno’ was a book wrote by Dante the poet, he described the experience of Dante the Pilgrim who visited the hell and saw how sinners was punished horribly followed by God’s will with his own eye. God’s intention of building such a hell seemed obvious to us, it’s a place to punish the ones who failed to listen to the instructions of God and live fairly. I shared different idea. In my opinion, Hell was built based on God’s love in Dante’s ‘Inferno’. The idea of Hell was built based on God’s love

I attended a funeral yesterday for a lady named Dorothy Graham. As I sat their looking at the casket that contained the body of Dorothy Graham as a Christian I was looking at container that was the resting place for an empty shell. As a Christian I am assured that Dorothy Graham’s soul wasn’t inside that container in that empty shell; Dorothy Graham’s soul is in another place. Sadly if I was an atheist I would have sat there looking at that casket that contained Dorothy Gramm’s body a believed that

contains 10 “pouches of evil (line 2).” The sinners at the bottom of the first ditch are all nude, running in different directions. At each end, “ horned devils” whip the sinners backs. Amongst the crowd Dante recognizes Venedico Caccianemico and wonders how he ended up in here. Venedico admits that he forced his sister Ghisolabella to “ the bed of the Marchese (line 56).” A demon whips Venedico and Dante returns to Virgils side. Virgil points out a sinner named Jason who was punished for fooling Hypsipyle

taught her the basic Bible stories like how the world was created in 7 days, the story of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. During this time, I would show my daughter her baby pictures, photos of families and events since her birth. I also shared with her my husband and I’s wedding photo in which she saw herself in. This puzzled her. Maybe even confused her. She, next, leaned over to me, and whispered “mom, did you have me when you were not married to dad

confess to the Puritans: “ ‘People of New England!... ye, that have loved me!–ye, that have deemed me holy!–Behold me here, the one sinner of the world!...Lo, the scarlet letter which Hester wears!...it hath cast a lurid gleam of awe and horrible repugnance roundabout her. But there stood one in the midst of you, at whose band of sin and infamy ye have not shuddered!’ ” (233). In this speech, Dimmesdale renounces Hester as a sinner, going back on their previous agreement that they didn’t really sin. As

beings try to hide. We first see the connection between the veil and evil when we learn, while wearing the veil, Mr. Hooper became very effective in being able to convert sinners to Christianity. Sinners felt drawn to him because they felt some sort of connection between themselves and the veil. As the narrator explains, sinners said they felt that "before he brought them to celestial light, they had been with him behind the veil." In addition to being able to strongly influence Christian converts

trait we dislike about ourselves. My letter “A” represent my fear of being alone. Like anyone, I cherish alone time, but I dislike being in situations where I don't know anyone who's around me like being in a new place alone. When I walked into homeroom I forgot I had it on, like it was like it wasn't there. Then when I walked to my next period class only thing I see is people looking at my chest. Some people stared at me as I walk, but as I glanced at them they looked the other away, as if

Imperfect Punishments Imagine a place where tyrants stand up to their ears in boiling blood, the gluttonous experience monsoons of human filth, and those who commit sins of the flesh are blown about like pieces of paper in a never-ending wind storm. Welcome to Dante 's Inferno, his perspective on the appropriate punishments for those who are destined to hell for all eternity. Dante attempts to make the punishments fit the crimes, but because it is Dante dealing out the tortures and not God, the
