    Yuri Herrera, in Signs Preceding the End of the World, and Alex Rivera’s Sleep Dealer both promote the idea that crime may be necessary to get what we want by creating a story where the only way to success is through crime. Both Herrera and Rivera use crime to show that it can be used to escape. For example, in Signs Preceding the End of the World, Makina’s family was involved with the illegal parts of their small town. To get away from this, Makina’s brother crossed the border illegally and began a new life.…

    The presence of death reveals itself to the book thief within both celebration and mourning as her life of words cycles on. In a state of partial sleep, Liesel “could see without question that her younger brother, Werner, was now sideways and dead… [for] his blue eyes stared at the floor seeing nothing” as Death tenderly “knelt down and extracted his soul” (20-21). The book thief’s primary encounter with Death would always stay with her as she watches her sickly but beloved brother depart from this world in a train carriage. Liesel senses Death’s presence as she gazes at the dying pilot and the two “recognized each other at that exact moment” from the scene of “a train and a coughing boy [as Death] slowly extracted the pilot’s soul from his ruffled uniform and rescued him from the broken plane” (400-401). An intimate sharing of identity occurs as Liesel faces the sight of death’s mark on humanity alongside Rudy and recognizes a sense of solemn passing in this occurrence. This passionate adolescent witnesses death at its climax as she sees “the bodies of Mama and Papa both lying tangled in the gravel bedsheet of Himmel…

    The Rapture of the church is not to be confused with the Second Coming of Jesus. Let's review real quickly here the viewpoint of a Pre-Tribulation rapture. The Second Coming will be when Jesus returns to the Earth to defeat the antichrist, and to establish the Millennial Kingdom. The Second Coming of Jesus will occur after the Great Tribulation, as seen in Revelation chapters 6-9. The Second Coming is for the removal of the unbelievers, and it will be visible to everyone, unlike the Rapture, which will be secret, and instantaneous. Several end time events have to take place before the Second Coming occurs. Biblical prophecies serve to remind us to always be spiritually ready. At the Rapture, believers will meet Jesus in the air, and there…

    If you had only one more day to live, how would you want to spend it? Who would you want to spend it with? There are currently 6,773,643,360 people in the world, of course give or take a few, and in a mere 3 years and seven months, every single one of those people may be faced with that same question. Forty-Four months, 1,309 days, 31,416 hours; no matter how you look at it, that’s all you have left, as some would say. Many people have heard of the ancient Mayans, and know that they reigned thousands of years ago. What they may not know is one little invention of theirs could impact the lifespan of every human being today and future. “The Mayans started their calendar on August 11, 3114 BC, and they conclude it on December 21st 2012 (Greyl 80).” There are many who believe this day will be the end, as we know it; all living creatures will cease to exist. There are possible theories on how the world will end, some scientific and mathematical, and others based on astrology, but no matter the theory, there is a chance you and I will perish with the other six billion humans in 2012. Unnerving? Yes. Realistic? Maybe. This Apocalyptic theory provides scientific evidence to support it, yet scholars are unlikely to believe it. Everything has a beginning and an end but no matter how many facts or possibilities presented, people are going to be unwilling to accept the apocalypse of 2012.…
