that we can look back on. We can look back to prevent making the same mistake twice, or in Siddhartha’s case, he looks back on the Brahmin knowledge from childhood to save his own life.

Joey at certain times. Throughout the story, Paul’s perspective changes as he goes through different incidents with Joey. In the September 20th journal entry, Paul feels sympathy towards Joey. For example, he realizes that since Mike’s death, Joey is having an especially hard time adjusting in Lake Windsor. Paul is persistent and assures Joey that life with him at Tangerine Middle would be better for him. During his conversation with Joey, Paul said, “So

interest in recent New Testament scholarship. Gordon Fee has been a great contributor in this area and in Paul, the Spirit and the People of God he outlines the various elements found in Pauline pneumatology giving us greater insight into this subject. In this paper I will highlight some of these elements that are unique to Paul and are not found in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts. The first distinctive of Pauline pneumatology is the way he sees the Spirit as God’s personal presence. For Paul, the coming

At first, Paul Stoller didn’t believe in sorcery or magic, but he undergoes a transformation from a non-believer to believer. This paper attempts to explain Paul’s transformation through the use of Tanya Luhrmann’s theories of magic.

Paul Stroller is an anthropologist who becomes an apprentice to Songhay sorcerers. His

Ross, Paul and Ellen’s relationship is strained. They are mentally isolated from each other. Paul becomes accustomed to this isolation and does not sympathize with Ellen’s need for companionship and purpose.

When he has to deal with the extreme conditions on his farm, including his wife’s desperation and unhappiness, he needs to choose how he will respond. A drastic change in perspective brought

Carnation flower in general symbolizes love. However, this is not the case for Paul. In the short story “Paul’s Case”, Willa Cather uses symbolism of the carnation to contradict its true meaning through his teacher’s perspective, glass-cased flowers, and his eventual death. Paul’s red carnation is very striking to his teachers at the school he attends. As mentioned, the carnation, in a broad definition, symbolizes love. However, Paul does not have any love towards his school work or education. During Paul’s

in the time of the Romans. They accepted the true gospel preached by Paul and Barnabas (Acts 14:26). Describing the true gospel brought by Paul to the Galatians, the editors of the book “Encountering the New Testament,” summarized that “the true gospel Paul preached centered on Jesus Christ’s atoning death, foretold by Old Testament prophets. In light of the cross, all need to rely on Christ’s self-sacrifice for salvation and new life, just as Abraham relied on God’s promise in times of old.” However

1901, Pentecostals and non- Pentecostals have by and large been at odds concerning New Testament pneumatology. But as the growth of the Pentecostal and Charismatic movement began to take place world-wide, it also set into motion a lot of dialogue and deliberations on this subject. The release of James Dunn’s Baptism in the Holy Spirit triggered the modern phase of these discussions and resurgence in the research of New Testament pneumatology. With this resurgence came fresh interest which brought to

this world that are satisfactory to people mentally. These ideals create new beliefs and perspectives on life. Some of these changes can make a person want to change their surroundings to fit their ideal way of life. This intern makes them restless and unhappy with the way their life is. On the other hand these ideals can affirm the way of life or view on life is perfect in their own eyes. With each new idea more perspectives are made, while some may be positive others may be negative. Within the

the novel Tangerine, by Edward Bloor, Paul changes his attitude, perspective, and actions based on the character influences around him. Even though Paul starts off shy and timid of his older brother Erik, he learns that he must stand up for himself or Erik will always win, and as he is exposed to more characters and environments he begins to develop as a character to be more outspoken. Paul was the family Runt, constantly being ignored and overlooked. Paul could never speak of anything due to the

Meaning he sees what other people don’t. Edward Bloor, the author of Tangerine makes many different themes for each chapter. The most important theme in Tangerine is seeing the truth. Which is what Paul sees mostly all the time. In Paul’s new development(Lake Windsor Downs) people are complaining about the fish in the

place and others and makes aware that all three are interlinked to each other. These key ideas of belonging are shown through the main characters Paul and Luke. Paul and Luke’s belonging to self is examined throughout both the texts. Paul’s belonging is most clearly seen through his connection to music as it is what he identifies himself with. As Paul ponders the different styles of his parents he realizes that he is their “mulatto”, a musical metaphor for a combination of different parts. Paul’s

Both stories share similar themes throughout them, even though they are vasty different people, in different situations, and with different outcomes, they still have the underlying theme of changing ideals.

Sometimes when you start a new school you don’t know what you’re going to expect. You don’t know how people are going to treat you, how you will in school, etc. But with Paul’s teammate Victor you don’t know if he will be your friend or foe. A reason Paul and Victor’s relationship is 50/50 is because of Victor’s rudeness and troublemaking. A good example was when Victor had got into trouble with Tino and Hernando at the carnival. You sort of know whoever sides with Victor would get into trouble

moved by either. In particular, I find Wright’s view of Paul within the context of First Century Judaism to be invaluable, and provides a great deal of understanding to some of Paul’s more difficult - and at times offensive - scriptural teachings. I also believe with Piper that it can be dangerous to be so heretically vague in one’s “fresh” definitions of the gospel, righteousness, and justification. Whether or not these fresh perspectives are right or wrong, I agree with Piper that “muddying the
