This week’s reading was a variety of Wesley’s original works. Three sermons were included (Scriptural Christianity‚ Catholic Spirit‚ and The New Birth) in addition to Wesley’s notes on various New Testament topics. The first sermon is Wesley’s interpretation on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He explains the difference between extraordinary gifts found in Acts and the ordinary fruits of the Spirit that continue in today’s church. Wesley feels the ordinary fruits have shown the truth that we have yet

Interested in both works‚ ‘Against School’ and ‘Against Love’ I thought over the two and the connections that could be made between them. In ‘Against School‚’ Gatto proclaims his opinion of the education system through years of hands-on experience. He goes on to address how schools do not properly education children‚ but instead leave them bored with themselves. Gatto allows the reader to understand from his point of view from the use of past experiences that he foretells. However‚ in Kipnis’s ‘Against

I think DuBois meant when he refers to the “strange meaning of being Black” is all the things that Black people had to go through beginning with slavery.

Blacks help build America‚ but Whites feel like that we did not do anything. Whites has many definitions to describe Blacks and their behaviors which they

East of Eden by John Steinbeck has copious amounts of connecting plots‚ important details‚ symbolism‚ and major foreshadowing. The chapter that best represents themes and foreshadowing with subtle symbolism‚ therefore making it one of the most important chapters in the book‚ is chapter twenty-four. Indeed‚ it is one of the most important chapters in the entire book because it further develops the story and sets the stage for Cal and Aron’s drama. The chapter begins with Samuel Hamilton visiting

John F. Kennedy’s foreign policy contributed immensely to the conflicts with the Soviet Union in Cuba. The Bay of Pigs invasion was a result of Kennedy’s implementation of a foreign policy that wasn’t effective with resolving problems between the opposing nations in the middle of the Cold War (Bay of Pigs happened in 1961).

The text under analysis is a sample of the emotive prose. John Cheever tells the story of the Towle family. The story centers around the family hearth as the war looms.

The text is based on the effect of climax‚ but suspense and parallel constructions also play very important role in this text. We understand that the theme
