The Role Of God In The Everglades
God is an omnipresent force that sees and knows all. Normally, He would be watching us humans, not the other way around. However, for He is the great force that creates and plots all, people are able to see his actions. The title is finally dropped within the novel when the novel’s major storm began to claw into the Everglades. The Woods and their friends did not heed the warnings of the wildlife and Native Americans and stayed in the area, for ignorance is bliss. However, when the hurricane was knocking on their door, all eyes turned towards the door. They were unsure what to do, as they had never expected such an event to happen in their happy lives. Now in the threshold where it was too late to evacuate and were unable to “[ask] the white

    This novel is based on Edgar J. Watson who lived until 1910 and farmed in the Everglades. In the novel, Watson and others tell their versions of events that involve Watson, forming their own versions of what Watson may or may not have done. Even though Watson was never brought to trial for Starr’s murder, he left Arkansas and set off for the Everglades, where he raised pigs and supported himself off the land. Even with all of the doubt in Arkansas, Watson seemed to fit in as a welcome member of the Everglades, and he settled in to begin farming in Chatham Bend. The Everglades was very different from life in Arkansas. There were hundreds of tiny islands, most of which were barely above water, and were uninhabitable. Watson was a man who boasts…

    Charles Spurgeon once said “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness”. This relates back to the story in that a person can have the bare minimum in life and still enjoy what they love to do. That whatever you do and enjoy can not be shot down by others. So one should learn that it's not about how much you have or what you have, it's how you choose to use it and enjoy it. Therefore, in W.D Valgardson short story “God is not a Fish inspector”, it is evident that Fusi show a great amount of happiness toward fishing, even though his daughter Emma continuously tries to stop Fusi from fishing.…

    The form such invisibility often takes today is one of a ‘conceptual nullius’— that because ‘others’ do not see and understand the world as ‘we’ do, there is nothing there, or whatever is there is in need of replacement by those more knowledgeable, and more powerful. Such dynamics preserve power for the powerful and over time, extinguish competing understandings. We are all, however, less for their demise.…

    Vonnegut’s use of tornadoes rather than any other force of nature serves as a metaphor for cleaning up the mess that man has made. I think it coincides with the theme of human stupidity and carelessness throughout the book and that Vonnegut chose tornadoes to show God’s roll. There was no other weather change in the entire book except for the tornadoes. There was no snow, rain or hail. He never made a single comment about the sun, but found it important to include a tornado, multiple tornadoes at that, something that man cannot create. Tornadoes are an act of God.…

    In every literary piece an individual reads, may It be short story or novel, there are bound to be some type of literary device, may it be just one main one the author focuses their attention to add a specific tone to their piece as a well as make that literary piece distinguishable, or multiple devices to maintain variety and unpredictability. Without at least decent use of literary device, the reader’s eyes will begin to stray as they are trying to maintain attention with that specific piece. There are no comparisons to show to a reader what the author perceives an object or living thing means to them and without any devices, the goal of drawing the reader out of their world and into the author’s ultimately fails at grabbing the reader’s attention because there was nothing in the story effective enough at evoking the targeted emotion the author was trying to do from the very start. A short story that does a great job at successfully drawing the reader away from their world and into the authors is The Ministers Black Veil by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This Story has a variety of literary device, but as to what stands it, it is symbolism. Symbolism is the author’s way of showing readers the significance of an object to them and what they truly represent in their hearts. The story has major emphasis on the idea that the veil the protagonist (Parson Hooper) of the story wears is actually a “barrier” that masks the sin committed by Hooper done sometime before the start of the story and a “mirror” that reflects the true sinful nature of human beings back into the eyes who gazed at the veil as evident by the townspeople’s reactions to the veil when Hooper walked into the church with it -possibly in the form of a horrendous creature that looks resembles them, but with demonic facial features if you think about it-. When everyone in the church reacted so…

    Excerpt:“Wilson’s glazed eyes turned out to the ash heaps, where small gray clouds took on fantastic shapes and scurried here and there in a faint dawn wind. ‘I spoke to her,’ he muttered, after a long silence. ‘I told her she might fool me but she couldn’t fool God. I took her to the window’---with an effort he got up and walked to the rear window and leaned with his face pressed against it---‘and I said ‘God knows what you’ve been doing, everything you’ve been doing. You may fool me, but you can’t fool God!’” Standing behind him, Michaelis saw with a shock that he was looking at the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg, which had just emerged, pale and enormous, from the dissolving night. ‘God sees everything,’ repeated Wilson. ‘That’s an advertisement,’ Michaelis assured him. Something made him run away from the window and look back into the room. But Wilson stood there a long time, his face close to the window pane, nodding into the twilight.”…

    The second scene of the movie shows a blind black man riding a rail car. The three men join him. This man represents a prophet because he relates the three men to a prophecy. It also has a deeper spiritual meaning that only those who are blind to the world can truly see spiritual matters, which would include redemption. He also proposes that the world is blind to them because they are traveling through the world anonymously. This means that no one knows who they are because they don’t know who they are. They are anonymous travelers because they must hide their identity from the law; also they’re unaware of their spiritual identity. Thus they cannot be free until they are redeemed.…

    This view of God and view of the world, is almost exactly how I view the world. This relates to the previous quote because Walker is going with the message that the image of God is meaningless. There is no meaning in seeing an image of a man above. What has meaning is his presence in the surrounding world. I also agree with the idea that once you feel this and accept it, you have found “it” or contentment. It is about realizing the gift of your surroundings, living in harmony with that, and being content with that. I have never read a novel where this belief is expressed so blatantly. The way Walker expresses this really resonates with me.…
