know who are your pallbearers and who are your armor bearers. Luke 7:1–6, Jesus was passing through the city of Nain. There was a young man who had died. As they got to the city gate, the pallbearers were carrying his casket to the graveyard! But while you are living there are some pallbearers who are trying to carry you to an early grave. Rappers with filthy language and words of death are pallbearers. Drug dealers selling you drugs are pallbearers. Gangsters are pallbearers. They are not armor

life that they’d lived. After an approximately thirty minute long funeral, we were asked to rise as the pallbearers entered. Before I knew it, I found myself in a line of sorrow, waiting to see my grandfather. The body laying before me was not my grandfather, but rather the body of my grandfather outlined against the velvety interior of the basket. After everyone had their turn, the pallbearers placed a bouquet of orchids on top of the casket. Orchids represent strength and my grandfather was indeed
songs made me happy so people in my life should get to hear the songs that I once learned to love. As time passes I hope to add more songs to this list. The pallbearers for my funeral I hope will be my uncles. This is because I have a big family and in total I have nine uncles, I would also like it if my cousins would be there to be my pallbearers as well. I think that they all were always very strong figures in my life they all taught me life lessons so I thought it was appropriate for them to carry
Once, there the family deliberated on when and where to do the visitation and funeral. Then the only problem was who would be the pallbearers? That was a rough affair for the family. In the end, I as well as my father, and brother were some of the pallbearers for Uncle Mike’s casket. The days following all of this are a haze. One instant I had a few days, and then the next it was time for the visitation. We were there and for an eternity. We
The Power of Women in Richard III In Shakespeare's The Tragedy of King Richard the Third, the historical context of the play is dominated by male figures. As a result, women are relegated to an inferior role. However, they achieve verbal power through their own discourse of religion and superstition. In the opening speech of Act 1, Scene 2, Lines 1-30 Lady Anne orients the reader to the crucial political context of the play and the metaphysical issues contained within it (Greenblatt, 509). Lady
Love is one of the emotions that many cannot explain easily. Death is something almost everyone fears. Love and death creates a theme that gives the reader the ability to relate with the speaker of the poem. How does a person, or better yet, a lover react when faced with the death of their beloved? W.H. Auden’s “Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone” which was written in 1936 tells us the story of someone who has loved deeply and had that love taken from them. When one thinks of love, the
He will stand at the position of attention with the salute rendered until the casket is completely removed from the Hurst. Awaiting the casket, the other members move into position to welcoming the fallen. Six people will act as pallbearers, carrying the casket to its final resting place. Each will be at a set position, according to stature of the person. They will place their hands on the casket in a set manner to lift and carry the casket. Once they lay rest the casket, they will
Amish: An Exclusive Lifestyle Imagine living life without technology and cars. Many people would be lost without a cell phone or a car to drive; however, traditional Amish people live without all the technological tools most people have throughout their daily lives. Think of the “Old West” ideology, that is similar to the way the Amish live, without the gunfights of course. Amish live without technology, most of the clothes they wear are self-made, and their funeral services are special to their
An Interpretation of Emily Dickinson's Poem I Felt a Funeral, in My Brain To understand any poem by Emily Dickinson is a challenge. After reading this poem a few times, I decided that the only way to comment on it was to scan all the possible meanings of certain lines and words that Dickinson chose to use. This is my own interpretation of the poem, not to be confused with a definite idea of what Dickinson was trying to convey in her writing of "I Felt a Funeral, in my Brain" (280). I decided
Biography of Franz Schubert *No Works Cited Many prominent musicians produced major works during the romantic period. Among these are Beethoven, Strause, and Bach. But the musician that I think had the most impact, was Franz Schubert. Franz Peter, born on 31 January 1797 was one of fourteen children born of Franz Theodore Schubert and Elisabeth Vietz, four of which survived. He grew up in an apartment that daily converted to a classroom in which his father taught several elementary school classes
Devon Dunbar film english Jackie Robinson was the first african american who became a major league baseball player. He did the unthinkable thing to do in this time era, when the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947. Rodinson played the game even though he was hated in the beginning by all the fans and players. I think this would lead into black people getting expected by whites. Robinson was born on january 31, 1919 in Georgia. Jackie who was the youngest of five children
The time spent trying to relax and gather our thoughts in the hotel were very short lived. All of the pleasing moments flew by, while the unfavorable moments were about to stick with us like a sharp thorn. My family and everyone else pulled into the funeral home. Unfortunately, it seemed as if this sight was almost becoming routine. We all got out of our cars and gathered up, yet nobody amongst us wanted to be the first person to enter. Finally we got the courage to finally make our way inside and
Death is universal, but various cultures have their own unique traditions. The Jewish culture has explicit rules which are steeped in tradition, and have significant meaning. The rituals are based on events from the Hebrew Bible. When a person passes the tradition states that the deceased should not be left alone. Friends or family will stay with the body, or s person called a shomer is assigned to watch over the body. They are expected to stay awake and attentive. The custom of rending clothing
Comparing Notions of Piety in The Wakefield Mystery Plays, The Book of Margery Kempe, and Le Morte D'Arthur The monastic lifestyle that Launcelot and his knights adopt after their conversion is one that Margery Kempe might approve of -- doing penance, singing mass, fasting, and remaining abstinent. (MdA, 525) But Launcelot's change of heart is not motivated by the emotions that move Kempe, nor is his attitude towards God the same as can be found in The Book of Margery Kempe and The Wakefield
Shakespeare centers Romeo and Juliet on the tension of opposing forces, including the conspicuous dichotomies of life and death, peace and war, and young and old. But Shakespeare also explores the underlying theme of emotional poverty within material wealth. The affluence of the Capulets is apparent in the first act, when the stage is continually adomed, between scenes, for the family's banquet. First, before Juliet's initial appearance in 1.3, long crimson tapestries are unfurled from the gallery
Bang The Drum Slowly was written in 1956 and is the second in a series of 4 works by Mark Harris which feature Henry Wiggen, a star left-handed pitcher for the New York Mammoths baseball team. I first read it in 1959 when I was 13 years old and I've read it again several times since. It may not really be "a baseball book". The foreword is a quote from "The Huge Season" by Wright Morris: " .. 'a book can have Chicago in it and not be about Chicago,' .[He held up another book with Hemmingway's
Tammy I arrived at the hospital at 9:00 a.m. with my father, my sister, Haley, and my niece, Ava. It was a long and quiet hour long drive to the Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. My father dropped us off in the blue parking lot then went to find a spot there. As we first walked in I admired how exquisite the design of the hospital was; the high ceilings, the wood flooring, and even the light fixtures all caught my eye and dazzled me. I’ve always been one to be enchanted by the sophistication
The poetry of the Imagists is short, simple, and quite literal in its meaning in order to create a vivid picture in the reader’s mind. When they describe an object, it means just what they say. A tree is a tree, a flower is a flower, and a bird is a bird. Imagists have little use for abstract words or ideas, and tend to shy away from them as much as possible. Emily Dickinson doesn’t fall under the same category as the Imagists, as she doesn’t use the same techniques as the Imagists. Dickinson’s poems
