VOCATION

Vocation in my own words is the path God has chosen for you too follow; it is what one is destined to be. There are many different types of vocation. Some people are destined to lead a life of dedication to God, others to be parents and some to be single have regular jobs. Vocation is not something that you are born knowing you have to look within yourself to find what God has created you to be. Finding your vocation is not an easy thing that why a lot of people end up in divorce, hating there job or depressed.

Throughout Spiderman 2, Peter struggles with his identity, and even takes a "leave of absence" from his "vocation" to sort out his true desires. When the people he loves, especially Mary Jane, are suddenly in grave, mortal peril, he remembers his true self and saves them all, remarking that "Sometimes you have to give up what you really want in order to do what is really right."
The villain manages to send an entire elevated trainload of people hurtling out of control to their death, and it's up to Spiderman to save them. He doesn't have the strength of Superman to stop out of control trains or airplanes, so he uses the gifts at his disposal. He stands on the front of the out of control train, stretches out his arms in both directions, and fires off web after web after web at passing skyscrapers. He grabs all the webs tightly in both hands. His arms are pulled back against the train, and his entire body is nailed there against the train, against the people he needs to save. His arms stretched out in a heroic act, Peter Parker becomes Christ on the cross.
Peter Parker is confused, he doesn’t know weather his vocation is to be with the Mary Jane or to be Spiderman.

  • The Appeal Of Richard Parker's Appeal In 'The Hunter'

    1222 Words  | 3 Pages

    Parker lived his life by a couple key principles according to the author, principles that he always followed in every situation. Some of his principles included that he would never kill unless there was a purpose, he would always honor a deal, he would always settle a score to bring balance back to his life, and that liabilities always had to be removed (Stark). Some of Parker’s less poignant principles are that business must come before pleasure, and that he would never allow himself to hate someone. Lastly, Parker adds a final rule to his value system, he vows to never love again, since love makes him vulnerable and blind (Stark 24). These principles make Parkers apparent eradicate actions become more understandable and even appealing. An individual that lives their life in a controlled fashion, with discipline, morals and values is often someone that people will gravitate towards, even though aside from these things, the person’s is someone we would never associate with

  • Kutcher And Carsten Peter Comparison

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    Steven Kutcher’s field of work is very different than Carsten Peter’s and not as dangerous. Kutcher has an interest in bugs and has the ability to train them. Unlike Peter who has an interest in taking dangerous photographs by traveling all over the world. Kutcher probably doesn’t know anything about photography and sacrificing his life. On the other hand, Peter probably doesn’t know anything about entomology and training insects. Their experiences and accomplishments are very different. Even though they are both brave, their bravery comes out in different ways. For instance, Kutcher’s job isn’t as risky and dangerous as Peter’s. He doesn’t have to worry about making sure he doesn’t accidentally slip and fall into lava. Furthermore, Peter’s work doesn’t involve creating a “spider Olympics” for a movie. Kutcher is also more well-known than Peter. He has played big parts in creating insects for famous movies such as Spiderman and Arachnophobia. Without him, Spiderman probably wouldn’t be as intricate and fascinating as it is now. Unlike Kutcher, someone else could replace Peter and do the same job as him. Even though Peter takes interesting pictures, he could easily be replaced by someone who could possibly take the same quality pictures. Kutcher went to school for this talent that he has and he has a lot of knowledge. Meanwhile, Peter didn’t go to college for this or study about

  • Human Flaws In The Chrysalids

    The first proof is when Spider-man treats David badly for trying to protect Rosalind from Spider-man, so that he does not rape her, but he gets beat up and thrown out into the fringes: “‘Chuck him out,’ he told them. ‘And if he doesn’t seem to understand that means stay out, shoot him.’ (Wyndham 164). In that quote we have proof that Spider-man, David’s uncle, would kill him in cold blood, just to get Rosalind to have children for him. Just because David tries to protect Rosalind from getting raped he is threatened with death and is sent out to the wilderness alone and beat up. The next proof we have is when Spider-man goes to war with the Waknuk Posse and kills his brother Joseph Strorm: “Suddenly he stiffened. His bow came up in a flash, bent to its full. He loosed. The shaft took my father in the left of his chest. He jerked and fell back on Sheba’s hindquarters. Then he slithered off sideways and dropped to the ground, his right foot still caught in the stirrup.” (Wyndham 187). Here it shows us that the instant Spider-man saw Joseph Strorm he did not hesitate to kill him. In conclusion, Spider-man proves humanities weakness by threatening his nephew’s life, and not hesitating to kill his

  • My Personal Weaknesses

    I used to believe and, to a less extreme extent, still believe that God does not have for everyone a specific occupation to pursue. Only those who undoubtedly heard the call of the Lord had that precise of a plan. In middle school and my first two years of high school I wanted to be a doctor. Everyone around me was exceedingly academically gifted and many of them had dreams of going to medical school and one day making six of seven figures. I pretended this was my goal as well. It was not until my junior year, I decided that a good path for me to follow was that of teaching. I kept having amazing history teachers that really sparked my fire to learn in that area. As I put the pieces of my life together (my skills, my talents, my passions, my personality) I realized the shape they made looked a lot like a history teacher. So if the Lord does call every individual to one certain career, which I am still not sure I believe, He did it in an indirect, yet completely successful, method with

  • Character Analysis Of Miles Morales As Spider-Man

    Okay, Sam Wilson is one example; but, we also have Miles Morales who is the new African-American Spider-Man; but, not only that, he is in (was) an interracial relationship with Kaite Bishop. That itself shows a little more diversity as well with Miles. The difference we see here is that although he is essentially replacing the past Spider-Man who was Caucasian, it 's not necessarily mentioned or you don 't necessarily think about it too much. What is important about Spider-Man is that each one has distinct personality traits, they do not attempt to make every single one the same. With Sam Wilson, I somehow think they want to make him old Cap, no matter how hard they deny it. Cap has one single personality and to change it would be to change the entire Captain America character. His name is what he does, what he stands for and what he lives for. With Spider-Man, there is more leeway to do what you want with new characters:

    We all have heard of Spider Man. He was the average teenager until he was bitten by a radioactive spider. I like Spider Man but I believe there are a lot of things missing in his movies. The police and government are portrayed poorly, as to assisting Spider Man or lack there of. Spider Man goes about doing his own thing, outside of the law. He is something we can all relate to and I believe that is why a lot of people like him. Most people would say they want to be like Spider Man because of his cool super human powers. I believe it would be a lot of hard work, dedication, and a lot of responsibility. Think about this, you would have two lives to live as a completely different person. You would have to keep up good grades, make some money to live on, support your family in one life, then save people, fight crime, and kill villains in the other life. It would be way to overwhelming for me.
