Introduction Rationale For as long as I can remember, my brother grew up with a (rather insignificant) scar on the side of his head. He explained that it was from a slightly unsophisticated game that he played with his friend when he was still in primary school. They would stand a certain distance apart and take turns throwing rocks at each other, until one of them would get hit, and, unfortunately, my brother had one day lost by an accurate throw to the head, and was scarred for life. 19 years later, my brother still has this scar, and from time to time becomes nostalgic over this memory, thanking the friend for adding future cool points and boosting his preteen game. The frequency of how many times my brother brings up this story has prompted me to …show more content…

    Godspell is a musical that mainly focuses on Jesus’s teachings, and how the messages of those lessons have the power to take hold of individuals that are divided and unite them to form one community. John-Michael Tebelek, who conceived and wrote the original script for Godspell, intended to dramatize the process by which people are drawn to the love and grace of God. The playwrights also aimed to reinvent the teachings of Jesus so that they could be understood in contemporary terms. By using modern techniques, like incorporating comedy, for example, the audience finds themselves immersed in the exchanged between Jesus and His disciples and can fully comprehend the lessons of the parables that Jesus tells. Just as Christ tried to teach complex

  • Gender And The Homeric Epic Analysis

    1078 Words  | 5 Pages

    In “Gender and the Homeric Epic”, an article by Nancy Felson and Laura M. Slatkin, the gender roles of various characters in The Odyssey, an epic poem by Homer, are examined in the constraining and progressive lens Homer takes. The characters of the epic most explicitly analyzed are Odysseus and his wife, Penelope; in this article the authors show the traditional gender roles both adhere to, but also exhibit the ways in which the characters are able to reach across the restraining gender roles, without making this story entirely about gender. Through this article one can see that the constraining nature of gender roles seen in society, is not inherent in the society presented in The Odyssey, which describes an intrinsic fluidity which is seen in a plethora of characters. “Gender and the Homeric Epic” discusses the gender roles conceived throughout Homer’s story through the characters Homer and Penelope. Homer represents the masculine war hero, returning home with what should be glory and happiness.

    Heroes, Gods and Monsters of the Greek Myths, a novel by Bernard Evslin, retells short stories of the most famous gods and monsters of Greek Mythology. Evslin creates a simplistic way for the reader to understand more about these myths, through short story telling. Each god and monster is given their own chapter, and are explained thoroughly, but simplistically to help the reader understand these stories better. Evslin’s method of storytelling was effective and the way each story connected made it an easy and enjoyable read. I found it helpful that each piece was told through a maximum of about six pages.

Today, many people trust in God, or a higher power of their own to establish their purpose and destiny, similar to the Ancient Greek belief in their own gods.
