The Whirlwind

The painting of Untitled by Gerald Donato displayed in the Taubman Museum in Roanoke allures attention by the chaotic combination of figural pieces and the collided whirlwind of vibrant yellows, oranges, greens, and undertones of black. The background information shares that Gerald Donato was a talented, beloved painter and teacher whose work anticipated references to important art-historical developments. Ideological forces, such as familiar cartoon imagery, “Steamboat Willie”, and formally represented

Within the eighteenth century, Christians were going through the Great Awakening, a wave of religious enthusiasm that swept through the colonies in an effort to make an impact on the religion within the areas. In the sermon written by Jonathon Edwards, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” he is trying to persuade nonbelievers into joining his religion in a way unused by many. To show nonbelievers the two altering sides of God based on what people believe and “they may imagine him to be so” (3)

full of adventure beside his oldest and dearest friend was just what Will needed. It was time to move on. Past time. “Done. We ride for Camelot tomorrow at first light.” Arthur clapped Will on the back. “But do you have any idea who conjured that whirlwind during the battle? I know magic when I see it.” Will shrugged his shoulders and gave a boyish half-smile. “I haven’t a

Elie Wiesel uses metaphor, rhetorical question, and simile to demonstrate that dehumanization ultimately causes mental and physical changes to the victim. Wiesel’s use of metaphor demonstrates that dehumanization causes the victims to be treated like animals. For example; “listen to me you, son of a swine”(wiesel 58). Elie Wiesel uses this quotation to show how the Germans see the prisoners as less than human. The use of the word “swine” implies that Idek sees Elie as a pig. In conclusion the metaphor

One of the best methods to surviving the Gulag system was by reaching the work quotas, but this was at times impossible to reach, so both parties found ways to re-interpret quotas which lead to inferences. The method that quotas were to be enforced were very strict and were also used as a way to blame someone for letting down the Soviet Union. For the Guards, officers, and bosses, if quotas were not met, they were to be charged in court as hinders to the soviet cause and were put themselves in prison

Triumph of the name of Jesus One of the first masterpieces of the Baroque was the Assumption of the Virgin (1625-1627) Giovanni Lanfranco painted on the huge dome of the church of Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome. Although this cool had its precedent in Renaissance he painted ceilings Correggio in Parma, admired viewers of the time for its lush illusions. The works of Lanfranco in Rome (1613-1630) and Naples (1634-1646) were instrumental in the development of this type of painting in Italy. The fresco

She thought it was over. His words had been final, driven with a hammer's blow into an eternally buried coffin. So why was he calling? It was a question she'd asked herself a million times already, her mind not resting, exhausted with the effort of trying to decipher the meaning of a little message that was hardly threatening. She looked out of her bedroom window at the aggressive cloud covered sky. The clouds had shifted from a dingy gray to an impossible black, and it reflected her mood perfectly

Jonathan Edwards uses many vivid images to make and reinforce his point to the members of his congregation. Perhaps the most powerful image is the extended metaphor of God holding the sinner over the pit of hell. “…there is nothing between you and Hell but the air; it is only power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up.” This image would have been even more powerful in Edwards’ time than it is today, as Puritan worshippers were regularly exposed to the idea of a fiery hell.

In our lecture, there were several wonderful examples of things that every Christian can do to aid victims of crisis. It is amazing how powerful the simplest and most basic things can minister to those who have experienced trauma; things like giving them basic instructions during a time when they can be cognitively unfocused, getting them a drink of water or a blank, allowing them to share their feelings and experience, praying for them, etc. I believe one of the most powerful things every Christian
