war and his life as a pastor and father in a small town in Georgia. His mind was exiled from

His experiences in the camps caused him to lose faith in god, as well as his survival. In the camps the jews were abused, starved, and murdered. His attitude towards his life changed. He wrote “It no longer mattered after my father’s death”. He watched the Nazi’s abused his father, although he wanted to do something he just couldn’t. After that he no longer cared.

Though he was in a clash between worldly ambitions and the love of God, we can see from his writings that his heart burned intensely for truth. In Book 1 of his invocation, he says, “let me run toward this voice and seize hold of you”, thus demonstrating his craving desire to be with God despite the road that his past had led him to. We can also comprehend by what he tells us in book III about his pleasures, that “loving and being loved were good to [him]”, which is why he inclined towards lustful desires not knowing that the only one who could satisfy these desires was God. This ends up being his main point of narrating these certain events of his life, to help us grasp that any inclination towards what is not of God will not fill our cup.

He was full of anger and despair. For this reason, he behaved badly: “He once broke away from guards while being returned to his cell from the exercise yard…” wrote Earle. But somehow, after a while, he began to change his behavior. He became concerned about God, and therefore, he became interested in religion. He was no longer the problematic prisoner he became loved and respected by all.

He was forced into one of the worst labor concentration camps and through it all he found and held on to the slightest bit of hope. For example, “ I no longer felt anything except for the lashes of the whip….He took his time with the lashes. Only the first one really hurt.” Even though the lashes hurt really bad all he could think about was his father, “ I was thinking of my father. He would be suffering more than I,” He wasn’t really focused on the fact that he just got beat. He had lost his faith and belief in God through this traumatic event; and even through this time, when he had little faith, he was resilient and pushed through. He pushed through even though he had no idea of the future. Even though he could have give up and died at any point during his time there, he decided to be resilient and to keep

At first, his faith in God becomes genuine. He becomes so interested in learning and knowing everything about God. When asked why he prays to God he answers, “Why did I

This is a great example of perception vs. reality as everyone makes it seem that one person might be happy, but inside they can be at the complete opposite state. This causes him to have the desire for more wisdom than what he has been taught. He wanted to find out what was really important and wanted to feel no emotion in regards to what people think of him.

     After he delt with the death of a close religious friend he experienced the loss of a close

He was a hospitable, respectful person. He wanted to be baptized and received into the church.

Once planted in the minds of individuals, ideas have a remarkable ability to grow with the strength and speed of the most powerful pathogens – possessing equal communicability as they spread to proximal centers of consciousness. How can this characteristic of ideas be utilized to benefit society? In the film Twelve Angry Men, we see a situation where Juror Eight – equipped with all the autonomy and wisdom of an ideal leader – appeals to logos in an attempt to promote the consideration of an idea, which he has planted in the minds of an otherwise unanimous jury; this idea being the mere possibility of innocence in the conviction of a boy charged with patricide. Ideally, leaders will possess an ability to transcend the

Analytical Essay During the 1930’s, 1.3 million Americans from the Midwest and Southwest migrated to California, for work and pay during the harsh times. Many men went alone and worked hard to get their pay, most didn’t mind much about others, except a few lucky ones. In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck tells an interesting story on two migrant workers.

Should College Athletes Get Paid College athletes should get paid because they practice all year long and for some it's hard to find a job because they have three practice each day. College Athletes can’t work in between class or on their free time because they have homework to do. Athletes leave for games and some games can be six hours away or just a few hours, it all depends on where the college is located. College coaches get paid, John Calipari is the highest paid basketball coach, he gets paid $6,356,856 and one of the lowest paid coaches is Rick Barnes and he gets paid $2,625,000. Some people say if college athletes get paid that would makes them a professional player but if a college coach gets paid wouldn’t that make them a professional coach?

All of these things show his self-improvement, his strength for working on his problems alone and trying to get salvation in ways he can be proud of after, being able to say he made himself a better person.

He would continually say in his diary that he felt the Lord. Then the next day he said that he did not feel the presence of the Lord. Overall he would say that he longed to grow closer and closer to the Lord.
