The World Fair of 1933 brought promise of new hope and pride for the representation of Chicago, America. As Daniel Burnham built and protected America’s image through the pristine face of the fair, underlying corruption and social pollution concealed themselves beneath Chicago’s newly artificial perfection. Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City meshes two vastly different stories within 19th century America and creates a symbolic narrative about the maturing of early Chicago.
Politics create a perception that illegal immigrants are all horrid human beings and deserve to be deported back to Mexico. There are a number of Mexicans who look to cross the border to the United States because they are in trouble and they must do whatever they can in order to survive. Regardless of this, citizens of the United States immediately ask for the heads of illegal immigrants and jump to conclusions that these people are crude and selfish although they are just trying to support their families. Luis Alberto Urrea tackles this problem regarding Mexicans attempting to cross the border in his book, The Devil 's Highway: A True Story. Urrea retells the story of the Yuma 14, also known as the Welton 26, and their attempt to cross the

Can you imagine yourself locked up in a room with no doors? Similar to a room with no doors, there is no way out of hell if it was one's destiny. In the short story "The Devil & Tom Walker" by Washington Irving, the main character's fate is hell because of his wrong decisions in life, accepting a deal with the devil for earthly benefits. Irving reinforces his message about not making decisions that may damn your soul with the use of literary elements and figurative language. Wisely, Irving combines characterization, mood and point of view to perpetuate the theme of the story in the reader's mind.

Devil in the Grove is a non-fictional book written by Gilbert King. King’s purpose throughout the book is to take an outside look on Thurgood Marshall’s life and the story of the Groveland Boys. Although, at first, the organization may cause the reader to feel that the story jumps around, in the end one should realize how its organization helped build the themes of this book.
The term angel derives from a Greek translation of the Hebrew word mal'akh, which first meant "Shadow side of God," and now means messenger (Jeremiah 59). Angels as an article of faith have become an unshakeable part of our society. One in every ten popular songs involves angels in some way (Freeman 2). They appear in paintings and in museums as sculptures. Our culture is filled with angels that appear on clothing, cards, or as souvenirs, and jewelry. It would be reasonable to assume that one might find the most information about angels in the Christian bible. However , the bible only mentions three angels by name and actually contains very little information about these beings. Almost all of the information we have about angelic attributes comes from the three great Chronicles of Enoch. In these chronicles Enoch describes his journey to the ten Heavens where he saw angels in heaven's penal and punishment area, punishing sinners. His view was that hell existed in small pockets that were distributed throughout heaven. This view was not consistent with the later Church that believed heaven and hell were two separate places. Because of this, St. Jerome declared these texts apocryphal (Godwin 9). However, a lot of material from these chronicles appears in the New Testament. Though much of what we know currently about what angels are and what they do is based on misconception and myth, the concern of this paper is with the genus Angelus Occidentalis. This is the term used to describe a number of angelic species and sub-species in Judaism, Islam, and Christianity (Godwin 7). The term angel describes not only the benevolent forces of heaven but also the malevolent forces of hell. When Lucifer fell from ...

After the era and death of Sam and Dean Winchester, a strange yet remarkable constellation appeared in the sky. Astronomers and many people believe that stars are formed by clouds of gas that begin condense due to gravity and evolve into stars. But others believe that when an angel dies, his soul ascends to heaven but his grace (angel mojo) is propelled into the sky forming a star, the more loyal and powerful the angel, the brighter the star. These people had tons of theories about said constellation but the most popular and understood presumption is as follows:
Most people have heard of evil spirits and things that “go bump in the night.” Numerous legends of the fallen angels say they occurred as the ones who originally created evil spirits that plague the earth. Pointedly, one of the first texts written concerning fallen angels tells of this happening.
Heart of Darkness should be taught in high school as long as the students are aware of its racism. Heart of Darkness shatters the view of imperialism that was held during the 19th century and Conrad’s opinion of it aligns with that of modern society. The use of language in the book can improve high schooler’s reading skills as well as help them separate form from substance as they will be able to see that the writing holds racist views. Finally, it is beneficial for students to understand that people can simultaneously have ethical and unethical values such as Conrad understanding how imperialism is a lie but also being racist towards Africans. Heart of Darkness should be taught to high schoolers
After reading Book 1 of Paradise Lost, which was about Satan starting to plot against God, I was impressed by Satan’s determination to make an attempt to take over Heaven once again, even though he and his followers were chained to the flaming lake, tortured, as their punishment from God. I admired the fallen angels’ determination to defeat God by warping his good creations to evil, since they all know that God is too powerful for them. Although Satan is banished from Heaven, and cast down to Hell by God, Satan’s evil character has not changed.
Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness is a novella that highlights the dark side of European imperialistic ideals through the eyes of an experienced seaman, Charlie Marlow. Marlow tells his story to four other unnamed men while on board the Nellie sitting at the mouth of the Thames River. The story is told through the Narrator, who serves as the voice of the four other men on board. Marlow’s story is of European conquest, “which mostly means taking (the earth) away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter nose than ourselves” (Conrad 6) to gain profit through ivory trade. Although his intent is not to tell his story of freshwater exploration, he explains the effect that his journeys had on him and how colonization affected the European settlers and the native “cannibals”.
