Deliverance From A Fever By Anne Bradstreet
Anne Bradstreet just released another poem, titled “Deliverance from a Fever”. Anne starts the poem off by telling us how she is filled with sorrow and is feeling much pain, inside and out. Anne tells us none of her flesh is “sound”, the reason being because God has rid her out. Her flaming flesh is sweating and her head is aching as she tosses about, speechless and faint. She is afraid of God’s dissatisfaction and she mentions she can’t read her “Evidence” like she used to be able to.
Anne cries to God and asks Him to show his face to her and to save her soul from burning if she dies. God knows Anne’s heart and is testing her strength. She pleads to God to save her soul. Anne sees that if she is to die and turn into dust, she will meet God

    In 2010, Laura Hillenbrand released a brilliant tribute to a resilient national hero, Louis “Louie” Zamperini, whose story was not widely known at the time. Fast forward four years and this tribute, Unbroken, has been made into a major motion picture and the remarkable story of the Olympian-turned-soldier has reached the masses. In the book Unbroken, which I read shortly after it was released, Hillenbrand chronicles Zamperini’s epic and, at times, terrifying odyssey. Raised in California, he was the son of Italian immigrants.…

    In this article G. W. Bernard talks about the reasons why Anne Boleyn was charged and convicted of adultery. The main reason presented is that King Henry VIII wanted to cast Anne Boleyn aside, in order to marry his latest mistress, Jane Seymour. G. W. Bernard argues that King Henry VIII was upset because Anne Boleyn had not produced a male child, and that King Henry VIII found Anne Boleyn’s abrasive character and pride intolerable. G. W. Bernard states that he believes these were the main reasons that King Henry VIII charged Anne Boleyn for Adultery. G. W. Bernard argues, however, that this interpretation does not fit the evidence of Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII’s marriage. Their relationship, like most relationships, had its ups and downs, but up until around April 18, 1536 King Henry VIII still regarded Anne Boleyn as his wife and did not have any thoughts about discarding her. The first reason behind why King Henry VIII would have wanted to get rid of Anne Boleyn is that she miscarried in January of 1536, possibly giving birth to a deformed fetus. It is said that giving birth to a deformed fetus was evidence of witchcraft, and King Henry VIII might have thought Anne Boleyn was a witch if she had indeed given birth to a deformed fetus. G. W. Bernard argues, however, that if Anne Boleyn was indeed a witch, she would have used witchcraft to ensure a healthy fetus. Also, Anne Boleyn was never charged with witchcraft, and if King Henry VIII really thought her miscarriage was a result of witchcraft, he would have charged her with witchcraft instead of charging her for adultery. The second reason why King Henry VIII would have wanted to get rid of Anne Boleyn was that illicit sex acts were often blamed as the cause for giving birth to a deformed fetus. It is a reasonable claim that King Henry VIII may have seen the fetus as evidence of adultery, and therefore had charged Anne Boleyn with adultery. The third, and…

Unbroken shows the changes of WII on the attitudes we had towards those who surround us, whether it was to our countrymen, immigrants or international individuals.

To receive power in one’s life, they bring out strong emotions, such as fear or guilt to persuade the person to obey their commands. But, these people are simply exercising their power, and only have a relationship with them asymmetrically. The person will authority has the ability to limit the choices of another, and uses physically or psychologically pain only to pursue their goal.
