Kim Davis Quotes

662 Words3 Pages

I believe a hero is someone who accepts everyone no matter what, does good even when no one is looking and is willing to broaden their views and not be self centered. Therefore, no, I do not think Kim davis is a hero because she discriminates a group of people because of her own religious views and she is a hypocrite. She says she does everything under God and the Bible but she has commited several sins herself! If Kim Davis wants to punish others because of how she interpreted the Bible, then she should punish herself first for commiting adultery and having four marriages and three divorces and more than one affair. An example would be this quote from the Bible: “...yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye. You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, then you will see clearly to take out the speck in your brother’s eye..” (Luke 6:42)
Before she denies a gay couple a marriage certificate because it apparently violates what she believes in, she should …show more content…

Yes, she has a right to voice her opinion because of the First Amendment in our Constitution, but that makes it okay for the people that oppose her views to exercise their rights too. Also, building off of that, not everyone follows the same faith and religion she does, so she cannot try force her opinions on others because of her religion. Although I admire her for standing up for what she believes in and standing her ground, I don’t agree with how she’s doing it and I don’t think she’s the right person to set a good role model and be a hero. In a way she is like Mildred from Fahrenheit 451, she is stubborn and cannot deal with new ideas like how Mildred couldn’t handle Montag reading books because she was stuck in the old way of thinking. Mildred could not accept what Montag was doing and kept thinking books were bad like how Kim Davis can not accept that gay marriage is

  • Analysis Of Katniss: The Hero's Journey

    177 Words  | 1 Pages

    There isn’t only one definition for a hero, a hero has several qualities that make them just that: a hero. The Hero’s Journey can be used to tell a simple story or the most sophisticated soap opera. With having to overcome many near-death experiences, Katniss is able to prevail and become a victor. While Katniss is just a fictional character, people are still allowed to see her as a hero; I’m sure that Suzanne Collins had that in mind while writing her series. We need people that burn brighter than the sun to look up to, and the character, Katniss Everdeen, is considered to be one of them.

  • Frederick Douglass: A True Hero

    When most people think of a hero, they may think of a fireman, police officer, or a soldier. Although this is true, my definition of a 'hero ' is someone who does something dangerous or brave to save another. Someone who just doesn 't get themselves out of a situation, but they also reach out and try to save the others. There are only a select few people who are brave, compassionate and selfless enough, to spend their days improving the world one act at a time with no regard for personal risk or reward. Frederick Douglass was such a man, and he saved the lives of many slaves.

  • Fire In Fahrenheit 451

    In this part of the book, all of the firemen including Montag received a call to burn a house with the books in there. Here became the turning point for Montag as he saw the woman, who already had made her decision to die rather than live in a world of oppression and restricted freedom of thought which books symbolize in this part, burns with the illegal books in the burning house, refusing to go out without the assurance of the safety of the books. We can suppose that his perception is gradually changing through the phrase showing that Montag felt a huge guilt over this, unlike the other firemen or Beatty. Furthermore, during the conversation with his wife, Mildred, Montag says, “We burn a thousand books. We burnt a woman.

    Montag was never really happy with Mildred, his happiness was a mask he didn't know about. The mask had been taken off when Montag's true colors were shown. Mildred wasn't much of a wife, or friend, to Montag. Mildred was only an acquaintance to Montag, as Montag didn't feel devastated for long. ¨Mildred, leaning anxiously nervously, as if to plunge, drop, fall into that swarming immensity of color to drown in its bright happiness.¨ (Bradbury 152)

    Janie Takes a Stand At the end of chapter 6, Janie rebukes the men and her response not only highlights the gender inequality problem in the novel, but it also shows a major character development in Janie. Not only of what Janie says is startling, but the fact that she said something made me see Janie in a different perspective. Janie?s opening line, ? Sometimes God gits familiar wid us womenfolks too and talks His inside business?, caught my attention because her response is against societal norms.

  • Coming Of Age Journey In Fahrenheit 451

    The first line of dialogue that Montag says is “it was a pleasure to burn”(pg. 1), which elucidates that he is just like the rest of the society. Bradbury introduces both of these characters as ignorant so the reader is able to draw a similarity between the way Montag is illustrated in the first page and how Mildred is characterized throughout the novel. This aids in tracing Montag’s coming of age journey because as he gets enlightened, the reader is able to distinguish how his mindset starts to diverge further away from Mildred’s. At the very end of the second chapter leading into the beginning of the third chapter, Beatty orders Montag to burn his own house, and as Beatty is speaking to Montag, Mildred runs past them “with her body stiff”(pg. 108). Through the employment of body language, Bradbury implies that Mildred is the one that turned Montag in to
