Jorge Luis Borges’ short story‚ “Borges and Myself‚” and Julia de Burgos’ poem‚ “To Julia de Burgos‚” are two self reflective pieces about their respective authors. They both focus on a detachment between the author’s persona and self image. Not only do these literary works share similar themes‚ but they use many of the same poetic elements. These elements - tone‚ metaphors‚ and allusions - are a means to accurately communicate the internal struggle they share. Both pieces use tone. In “Borges and

Introduction The Gospel of Mark begins‚ "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ‚ the Son of God" (1.1). Those opening remarks clearly state the purpose behind the entire composition‚ a narrative of the good news of the life‚ death‚ burial‚ and resurrection of the Messiah‚ Jesus Christ‚ the Son of God. Mark is the only writer that records the parables of the "Growing Seed" and "Mustard Seed". These parables were utilized to reveal that the kingdom of God will encounter amazing growth

Luis Borges “The Keeper of the Books” Here they stand: gardens and temples and the reason for temples; exact music and exact words; the sixty-four hexagrams; ceremonies‚ which are the only wisdom that the Firmament accords to men; the conduct of that emperor whose perfect rule was reflected in the world‚ which mirrored him‚ so that rivers held their banks and fields gave up their fruit; the wounded unicorn that’s glimpsed again‚ marking an era’s close; the secret and eternal laws;

The Four Gospels are the first four books of the New Testament know as Matthew‚ Mark‚ Luke and John. The term gospel comes from the Greek word euaggelion or “good news.” These four books are not just historical accounts‚ but announcement that Jesus Christ is the Messiah of Israel and the true king of the world.

Jesus appointed his first disciples. The Gospel of Mark reports the first call of the disciples Jesus appointed by the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee‚ and came across to two brothers‚ Simon who is now called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were in the process of casting a net into the lake‚ for they were fishermen and on a duty to catch some fish. This is the reason as to why the fish image is truly important in the Gospel of Mark as it was the beginning of an extraordinary

Introduction From Shakespeare to Christina Rossetti‚ the word ‘Remember’ is a ghostly verb. The act of remembrance resurrects people‚ places and events that have long passed. In the opening lines of Funes the Memorious Borges refers to it as a ‘sacred verb’. To remember someone is an act of devotion to them. In the normal healing process after the trauma caused by war there is an intense period of remembrance which takes place after the pain of that trauma has diminished enough for comprehension

As stated by Cohn in her article " ’Endgame’: The Gospel According to Sad Sam Beckett" there is much evidence given relating to the many comparable instances between the Bible and Beckett’s "Endgame." With this interpretation as well as the discussion about the significance of the title‚ and the constant reference to the end of the world‚ it is nearly impossible to see Beckett’s "Endgame" as anything other than a post-apocalyptic tale. I found particularly interesting Cohn’s relation to Beckett’s
