Pascual's Religious Life
Pascal’s parents were a middle class family living a very religious life. His father was a carpenter and his mother worked at monastery cooking food. Pascual was constantly on the move because his mother always went to different monasteries because the old ones were always getting attacked. His father had died when Pascual was only 10 years old and that year he had become very religious. He would always be at monasteries with his mother praising the lord and trying to learn the most about him. He was also a very smart person at his time. When he was 14 he started his missionary and was the youngest in his group. He always had an answer for everything and knew how to convince people of the true meaning of god. He showed people in poverty one

    He viewed religion more like a chore than a way to grow closer to God. Also, he wanted to read the New Testament by himself, but the nuns objected to this, probably because they were afraid that he would not understand it. I think that Rodriguez wanted to show the nuns that he was very hardworking and intelligent, but people should not read the Bible to impress others. I wish Rodriguez explained his spiritual growth a bit more throughout the course of the book.…

    In Under the Feet of Jesus Viramontes plays with the heartstrings of those who read the story. It explores deeply the subjective and symbolic violence of the exploitation and destruction of migrant workers. The beautiful prose fantasizes the horrid conditions and everyday struggles that plague the family. With one misstep they are crushed beneath the societal system that is meant to even out the playing field. They are set up to fail. The focus is not truly on Alejo’s tragedy, but the symbolic destruction and disposal of a “tool” for the farm owners. Easily replaceable Alejo is nothing more than a broken basket. As Estrella puts it aptly “it was their bones that kept the air conditioning in the cars humming,…

    Patria, Sor Mercedes, as she liked to call herself, would walk around the halls of her childhood home with a plain white sheet wrapped around her head, clutching an imaginary rosary to her heart. At fourteen, Patria received her wish and was sent to Immaculada Concepcion, in order to further her knowledge of His word. Many people viewed this as a “pity” (p.45). Patria was “such a pretty girl” (p.45), with her “high firm breasts and sweet oval face.” She did not let the words of others stray her from the path of the Lord, and put all of her energy into bettering herself through Him.…

    Born into a Protestant family in Ireland on November 29, 1898, C.S. Lewis was the son of A.J. Lewis, a solicitor, and Flora Augusta, a promising mathematician. He bore a lonely and unhappy childhood. Especially crushed by the death of his mother due to cancer when he was nine years old, Lewis was left disheartened with God (christianodyssey.com). Lewis came to reject Christianity at an early age, becoming an affirmed atheist. He reasoned that Christian myths were mediocre and that the Christian god must be a sadist (about.com). Whilst being inquired about his religious view, C.S. Lewis labeled the worship of Christ and the Christian faith as "one mythology among many." (christianodyssey.com).…

    CS Lewis Biography

    • 688 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Born on November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Ireland, C.S. “Jack” Lewis was the second child to Albert Lewis and Florence Augusta Hamilton- both who are said to have had “first rate minds” (C.S. Lewis: A Profile of His Life) and who passed their love for books and reading down to their children, along with their extensive library. Because of this, Lewis adapted an incredible writing skill, as well. However, after his tenth birthday in 1908, Lewis’ world was turned upside down by the death of his mother. This is especially important because, as Dorsett says in his biography, “The death of Mrs. Lewis convinced young Jack that the God he encountered in church and in the Bible his mother gave him was, if not cruel, at least a vague abstraction.” (C.S. Lewis: A Profile of His Life). About four years later, he pronounced himself an atheist. Two years following that he met W.T. Kirkpatrick, the man who taught and influenced Lewis to fall in love with classic literature from all around the world as well as criticize, analyze, and understand in it its original language. It is said of Kirkpatrick that he taught Lewis how to “think, speak, and write logically.” (C.S. Lewis: A Profile of His Life).…

Unfortunately, in 1605, he set out on a voyage from Marseilles to Narbonne and on his journey he was captured by African pirates. Vincent was taken to Tunis where he would become a slave.

    Immanuel Kant and Blaise Pascal offer contrasting opinions concerning reason, or man’s ability to come to conclusions on his own. In Metaphysics of Morals, Kant provides an optimistic view of reason, depicting that reason can attain certain conclusions. Pascal argues in Pensees that man is inherently flawed and can’t be certain from reasoning while faith, or belief in the supernatural, is the only thing that can create certainty. Kant’s positive outlook on human reason is a sound assertion, although it doesn’t necessarily create a rupture between faith and reason, because despite reason’s capabilities of reaching universal truths, faith compensates for potential mishaps made by reason and provides a more in depth knowledge when combined with…

Her father was a Swiss engraver and publisher who died when Merian was only three years old. A year after her father's death, her mother married a painter, who brought children from his previous marriage. In order for a middle class business to survive everyone in the family had to work, so at twelve years of age Merian and her mother had to provide for themselves due to her husband leaving once his children were grown up. They continued to run the family business that her stepfather and half-brother has established. Merian, however, was not the only girl who had a life of struggle, many women at that time were left to struggle when left by death or abandonment.

Born in Paris in 1776, Germaine was born into a wealthy family. She soon developed an interest in Mathematics at the age of thirteen. When she stumbled upon a book about Archimedes in her father's library which described how Archimedes was so engrossed in the study of a geometric figure in the sand that he failed to respond to the questioning of a roman soldier and as a result he…

    Many regard Langland's work as a variation on the classic ‘Pilgrim's progress' story for the fourteenth-century Christian. The poem is often called a spiritual autobiography; but this is a simpliste description, the ironical result of the very vividness of Langland's presentation of his dreamer. The poet records a spiritual crisis that he experienced after a disputation with friars in later years. The poem, like Dante's, is certainly in one sense a Pilgrim's Progress--but hardly in Bunyan's sense; it describes not so much a spiritual journey (and journey was the dominant sense of 'progress' in Bunyan's day) as an unfolding, a development, stage by stage, passus by passus.…
