One of the most valuable monuments of the Germanic language is the Bible translation of Wulfila. Who was this man called Wulfila, and how did he translate the Bible? Wulfila or also called Ulfila was missionary and bishop of the Goths. He was born around c. 311 in Europe. We do not know the date and place of his birth for certain, because they have not kept documents of births at that time. It is said that Wulfila was not pure Gothic descent, for his grandfather was a native of Cappadocia. However

To Lady Alston, the entire Alston Family and the Greater Ransom Way of the Cross Church, “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.” ~ Revelation 14:13 It is with our heartfelt sympathy that we extend this letter on the passing of our brother, Bishop Johnny L. Alston. Bishop Alston was a faithful member of the Executive Board of

with a person who is speaking from somewhere beyond the grave. The speaker tells the story from their final moments just before death, describing the final experiences and sensations before the exact moment of death. The beginning of the poem starts with the speaker already describing his/her death first talking about how they hear the sound of a fly , as it flys through the air in the silent room. As the poem continues the speaker begins to go deeper focusing this time on the things in the room

I liked the poem “Monologue for an Onion” by Suji Kwock Kim. My paraphrase for the poem is this: “An onion tells the human there is no point cutting it because there will only be onion underneath its layers. It criticizes the human for acting brutally with little results to show for it. Even if humans want to understand everything, they aren’t able to. Although the onion was the one cut, the human is more affected and changed as a result. A human’s heart has more complexity than an onion and will

Poem Essay The title of the poem is “The Secretary’s Chant” by Marge Piercy. Marge Piercy is an American poet who was born in Detroit into a working class family that had been hit hard by the Depression. She’s also known for her highly angry often very emotional tones in her craft. One of her works called “The Secretary’s Chant” talks about how the secretary is comparing herself to office equipment that she uses in her job metaphorically. This infers that humans work themselves out to the point

Many see the grass of yesterday as greener. This is the case with Richard Louv in his work Lost Child in the Woods where he believes that today’s society is too removed from nature and too obsessed with technology. Louv claims that as the world becomes increasingly influenced by technology the “true nature” is less valued than it was with previous eras. He successfully uses rhetorical techniques in order to accomplish his purpose of criticizing the people of today for distancing themselves from the

In Houston, we have one of the most inspiring phrases in downtown that says “be someone”, everyone that drives through there has seen it. I wonder if people that passed by on their way to work or home get inspired by this phrase. Seeing themselves as someone they have always thought of or being someone just so they can fit in a group. The phrase be someone can be seen as becoming like someone important in life or developing who you want to be with things you are interested in. People tend to focus

The poem “Dirge” by Kenneth Fearing is an ode to a man who lives and dies unfulfilled by his choices and the boring routine of life. The man seemingly argues that his demise is unfair because he did what society expected of him. He worked as an “executive type” (5), played the stock market, and gambled at the “track at Bowie” often (4). Even after continually losing, he still “wore one grey, tweed suit” and “drank one straight scotch” daily (19-20). These images build a picture of this man.
