Yin yang The Yin Yang meaning and symbol dates back to ancient China and represents the belief that everything in the universe consists of two forces that are opposing‚ and it influences the destinies of creatures. It may be hard to admit it‚ but not everyone will see eye to eye. Having opposing opinions with someone else may sound bad at first‚ but the good news is that if everyone had the same point of view towards issues‚ the world wouldn’t be able to advance. Arguments can be found everywhere

especially when it comes to human beings. Throughout this paper my plan is to persuade you that the relationship between God and human beings in Genesis was a relationship of‚ trust‚ jealousy‚ and loyalty. Loyalty is a virtue with God because of the Adam and Eve story. “And the lord god commanded the man‚ you may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat‚ for in the day that you eat of it you shall die”(Gen. 2:16-18NRSV). God clearly makes it plain

A Poison Tree by William Blake can be interpreted to be a metaphor that explains a truth of human nature. I believe that this poem teaches how anger can be dismissed by kindness and friendliness‚ and nurtured to become a deadly ‘poison’. The opening stanza sets up everything for the entire poem‚ from the ending of anger with the “friend‚” to the continuing anger with the “foe.” Blake startles the reader with such clarity of the poem‚ which is often missed in Blake’s poems‚ and with metaphors that

Despite the fact that the narrator infrequently implies the Bible unequivocally‚ Billy Budd contains numerous certain inferences to the symbolism‚ dialect‚ and stories of the Bible‚ making a managed parallel between Billy’s story and Christ’s Passion‚ the narrative of Christ’s torment and demise on the cross. Like Christ‚ Billy gives up his life as the pure casualty of an unfriendly society. Captain “Starry” Vere’s part in the story parallels that of Pontius Pilate in the Gospels‚ as he is the official
