Throughout history, women have been treated unequally because they are thought of as being less worthy than men. It is evident that in the novel "The Good Earth," by Pearl S. Buck, women are treated unequally in China during the 1920s. Through occurrences and the character's actions, one can claim that O-lan, the three daughters, and Lotus are treated differently. To begin with, O-lan was a slave that worked at the House of Hwang, who married a Farmer, Wang Lung. After giving birth, O-lan returned
in the text Beowulf, “God must decide / Who will be given to death’s cold grip” (174-175). In this quote it is saying that it is ultimately up to God who lives and dies, and this is very obvious throughout the text. From battling Grendel, Grendel’s Mother, and the Dragon fate is up to God. The theme Good versus Evil represents Beowulf and all of the evil forces that he battles. Beowulf represents good because he is the hero and he sets examples for the people. Grendel, Grendel’s Mother, and the Dragon
non-believers. They were sent to Earth to fill a greater purpose, Superman originally from Krypton and Jesus from the heavens. Both would eventually go on a mission to return home. Service was very important to Superman and Jesus as they both did whatever they could to assist the people in need. “A son becomes a father and a father becomes a son” (Superman Returns) represents Superman inheriting the traits of Jor-El like Jesus receiving Gods. When Superman’s father sent him to Earth, Jor-El had said, “Even

Hester’s Tough Decision Anti transcendentalism, fixed to the mid-19th century, was the idea that nature was good, man was evil and was set out to destroy nature. The Scarlet Letter was a famous book written by Nathaniel Hawthorne that implemented anti transcendentalism. In the first chapter the reader was introduced to 3 symbols; a prison, a cemetery, and a rose bush. All puritanical meanings, the prison symbolized justice and judgement, the cemetery symbolized death of course, and the rose bush
“I'm starting with the man in the mirror I’m asking him to change his ways and no message could have been any clearer if you wanna make the world a better place take a look at yourself, and then make a change.” I use this quote to represent Gore’s hopeful outcome once his audience hears his speech and make a change that will influence not only themselves but the whole world as well. Al Gore, an elected official and a nature extremist who provided a lecture in April at a university called, “The Climate
and the Odyssey, in their entireties, never mentioned Zeus personally talking or interacting with humans. “Now Zeus who views the wide world sent a sign to him, launching a pair of eagles from a mountain crest...” (Homer.

God loves everyone. “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace

Although there has been much speculation, to date there has never been any proof of life existing on Mars. However, evidence is now building that Mars once was habitable.
