Within these respective poems, the poets explore love in various forms. In Sonnet 116 we see love as pure, immeasurable and immortal; William Shakespeare continues this conceit in Sonnet 18 too. Within My Last Duchess, love explores the submissive and possessive side effects of being completely infatuated, which similarly links with La Belle, however instead of patriarchal power, domination is shown through a woman. First Love is comparable to both Sonnets, in which love is portrayed passionately, presenting real love and the overwhelming feeling it can convey. Finally Porphyria’s Lover portrays unrequited love with a sinister background alike My Last Duchess.
"Each second that you get a chance to breath, communicate, make music, create, help, Love, and do good work for God is a Thankful Moment in time, which is to your credit of for Worship, honor, and Truth in your Faith Walk." ~ Jon Barnes
He finds happiness from the scriptures as well as he relates the story of the death of Jesus who died on the cross of Calvary. God his father endured it. Jesus was insulted by the apostles and shed his blood on the cross of Calvary for our sins. “Remember, do not forget, do this as a remembrance”. (Wolterstorffs, 1987). These inspiring words from the scriptures also gave him joy- “Those who sow with tears will reap with songs joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them. (Psalm 126: 5-6).
At the beginning of Brutus's speech, he tells everyone to judge him fairly and not criticize him for killing Caesar. Brutus told the audience that he loved Caesar but not as much as Rome. The play of Julius Caesar states, "If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more." (Act 3, Scene 2). The quote shows how much Brutus is willing to sacrifice for Rome.
The play “Julius Caesar” by William Shakespeare is about Brutus who is convinced by Cassius that the ruler Julius Caesar is becoming too powerful for Rome’s own good. Brutus and other conspirators take this potential dictator down by killing him. Rome breaks into chaos but all in all the chaos was better than having Julius Caesar as a dictator. Brutus and Bernie Sanders think alike in the way they want a fair and equal society. They both strongly want to take down the “higher” people in the world. While Bernie Sanders is looking to take down the 1% and Wall St Brutus is looking to take down Caeser. Both of them in all want to help the common folk and plebeians of their country.
While reading the book The Tragedy of Julius Caesar it shows where many lines and the points people are trying to make during the story none as significant or as noticeable as the speech Mark Antony gives in Act III section II. In this scene he shows high usage of rhetorical devices using things such as nostalgia, repetition, and delayed sentencing. Using these rhetorical devices he changes ideas of the people from happy for Caesar’s death too convincing them to try and attack the conspirators. With theses rhetorical devices he draws a lot of rhetorical appeals from logos, and pathos to really convert peoples believes. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Antony uses irony, eulogy, and sarcasm to show Caesar was a great man and how they need revenge for Caesar.
“The Twenty-Third Psalm” is a very ancient poem that was translated into English. The predominant metaphor is that of a shepherd and his sheep. The poem is meant to give comfort to people. It shows that God looks after people, like a shepherd looks after his sheep. It is often recited at funerals to give solace to grieving folk. I feel a lot of hope when I read this poem. I have a heavenly father who cares about me and this poem reminds me of that. When I face severe challenges and it seems no one cares about me. It is good to know that I am loved and that I am not alone.
In a few well-chosen words the psalmist sketches two sharply contrasting pictures. The first picture is of a happy and successful man. The second picture is of a man whose life ends in dismal failure. Because all of us hunger for success and want to avoid failure, let
O Lord, I come to you with praise and thanksgiving, but with a yearning for a deeper conscious appreciation of your goodness. Bless me this day with an enlarged capacity and power to praise.
The light of the world, the savior is here with teaching and guidance and we’ll have no fear. He brings a message, the word from above and that message is simple, the message is love. His light shines forever so clear and bright. Let us celebrate the infant Jesus now and forever.
"Before the future time of Antichrist, there will be times of persecution for Born Again Christians, and these times of persecution will be followed by times of rest. Our Father wants Born Again Christians to be aware of this pattern. Those who keep on doing the purpose of Our Father can have the same happiness during times of persecution that they have during times of rest. This is part of the meaning of the joy of
I smile to myself as I imagine the look on my dad’s face as I handed him the Bible and told him I forgave him. His smile had literally stretched from ear to ear, and the bags under his eyes seemed to go away for a time. A new light shone in his eyes, as well – a light that I pray is someday made more radiant by the love of the Savior.
8 “Or what woman, if she owns ten silver coins and loses one of them, won’t light a lamp and sweep the house, searching her home carefully until she finds it? 9 When she finds it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Celebrate with me because I’ve found my lost coin.’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, joy breaks out in the presence of God’s angels over one sinner who changes both heart and life.”
