Ellen White Chapter 2 Summary

262 Words2 Pages

This chapter begins by giving us a little background on Ellen White while she was in the Victorian culture of her time. She formerly originated from a “shouting” Methodist custom that confronted cultural standards and unlocked the method to new traditions of divine understanding. If it were not for her leaving Methodism, her life would probably have not turned out the way that I did. She perhaps wouldn’t have incorporated Jesus into her lifestyle or heard her calling to prophesy. She was not born a Victorian, but by time, she adapted to the Victorian culture. Even though her spouse, James White, was not regularly at ease with his idealistic partner, he developed to be her primary advocate. They were married through an arranged marriage. Her

    Her final division falls onto the subject of the Spirit, where she discusses religion, witchcraft, and power. For Wiesner’s study, four issues dominate the discussion of women’s religious activities: the arrangement of one’s hair, though trivial, denotes both respect and a purposeful hiding of sexual attractiveness by covering it; the struggle between the commandments of God and the opinions of men; the boundaries between public and private life; and finally, the issue where religious doctrine (rather inadvertently) justified the most independent action for a woman. (213-214) This section encompasses the most ground, which Wiesner deserves great credit for, as she examines the religious chronology, division, and voices of not only Protestants,

    As I was, reading the excerpt of Night by Ellie Wiesel, I would begin to express empathy towards the author as he had to struggle through various unsanitary, horrendous places. Throughout these areas the narrator explains how his human rights and basic needs are stripped away. According to Humanitarian Coalitions site “The essential humanitarian needs are food, shelter, non-shelter food items,water,sanitation and hygiene promotion.” Lines 17-20, demonstrate how each prisoner had their essential rights taken away “ Buna was a real hell then.

  • Thompson Ford's How To Understand Acting White

    600 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the most strived for things in life is academic excellence however the path to it is never easy. Author Thompson Ford’s article “How To Understand Acting White” outlines Stuart Bucks arguments about the irony of desegregation in education. A separate essay written by, Alfred Lubrano, “The Shock of Education: How College Corrupts” has similar ironies about the average college student. If Ford was to read Lubrano’s essay, Ford would come to a more complex conclusion by incorporating arguments and concepts from Lubrano’s essay. Ford may utilize Lubrano’s essay to expand on certain concepts such as the proximity effect, socioeconomics, and the level of education in top tier schools to further explain the “acting white” phenomenon from his own article.

    The chapter that I want to write about is Chapter Eight: Wilma Derksen, “we have all done something dreadful in our lives, or have the urge to”. In this chapter I find the story line I quite interesting as it exemplified the current problem paced by society nowadays; crime. First of all, this chapter can be regarded as the chapter that tied most of the stories in the book including the undesirable difficulty, the inverted U-shaped concept and the principle of legitimacy. As I read the book, the topic discuss by Gladwell makes me think critically of the action taken by Mike Reynolds and Wilma Derksen. Both of them faced the same situation or what we like to called, difficulty, which is the death of their child.

  • Merry Wiesner-Hank Book Review

    1009 Words  | 5 Pages

    The chapters on colonialism could be determined as superficial, this could be because Wiesner-Hanks provides too much information which lessens the impact of how inclusive the analysis is, in connection with this the depth in which she examines the patterns of life within the colonies could be considered by some readers as not adequate; as she shows disregard for other religious viewpoints outside of Christianity such as Islam and Hinduism. However, these criticisms aside, Wiesner-Hanks book paints a detailed and layered portrait of Christianity in terms of regulation and reformation. True, it would be nice had Merry Wiesner-Hanks been able to dedicated more time to the discussion of wider religious teachings outside of Christianity, and it could be suggested that her teaching may be more crucial if it covered a smaller topic area in more detail, instead of a vast topic area in lesser detail. However, this is broadly convincing study, which gives Wiesner-Hanks portrayal of Christianity and Sexuality in the Early Modern World richness in terms of her dedication to a contextual study. Wiesner-Hank’s book ends at the start of what scholar’s phrase ‘modern sexuality’, and within this she stresses the importance of centralising sex within religion, as the formation of these boundaries is still an issue which occurs in the modern world as well – these norms are

  • Comparing Sinners In The Hands Of An Angry God And Upon The Burning Of Our House

    1000 Words  | 4 Pages

    Jonathan Edwards’s sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” and Anne Bradstreet’s “Upon the Burning of Our House” seem at first glance quite similar to one another regarding context, however, after taking a closer look, it becomes apparent that there are some substantial differences. These differences cannot be understood without the knowledge of cultural context concerning the Puritan belief system and their lifestyle. “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” was written with the sole purpose of scaring and intimidating the people that purtinans believed to be sinners. Edwards’s work contributed to a movement called “The Great Awakening”. It’s objective was to make the so-called ‘sinners’ aware of their wrongdoings and compel them to repent.

    The American Enlightenment and the Great Awakening were two very important motivators that changed the colonial society in America through religious beliefs, educational values, and the right to live one’s life according to each individual’s preference. The Great Awakening and the American Enlightenment movements were two events in history that signaled a grand distinction to the teachings among religious believers. New beliefs of how a person should worship in order to be considered in “God’s good graces” soon became an enormous discussion among colonists across the land. “Men of the cloth,” such as George Whitefield and Jonathan Edwards were well respected and closely followed when preaching about the love of God and damnation.
