The Stuart kings embraced the belief of the Divine Right of the Monarch. However, not only did they believe that God wished them to be the infallible rulers of their kingdom – they also believed that they were the spiritual heads of the Church of Scotland.

    Baptists and Presbyterians are both Christian denominations however, they do have different histories, beliefs, and practices. The start of the Presbyterian Church is connected to a 16th century French reformer named John Calvin, He put a lot of thought into ministry, the church, religious education, and the Christian life. John led the Reformation in Geneva, Switzerland. The town council of Geneva allowed his Ecclesiastical Ordinances which set regulations on issues that had to do with the church order, gambling, dancing, and swearing.

    Rogier van der Weyden's Seven Sacraments Altarpiece depicts penance and the everyday rites of the Christian society that are executed from birth to death. Hieronymus Bosch's Table Top of the Seven Deadly Sins exhibits the seven sins engaged by people under the watchful eye of Christ that must be accounted for on judgement day. Both works are representations of the same important idea of penance. The apparent realism of artists such as Rogier van der Weyden and Hieronymus Bosch is more than mere imitation of the world they saw around them: it embodies a wealth of religious symbolism.…

    The baker in “A Small Good Thing” by Raymond Carver caught my attention from the beginning of the story. He was abrupt with Ann, but it felt like there were reasons that would be explained soon why he was this way. The initial impression I got from him wasn’t likeable but as I got further into the story, there was a spark of compassion in this man that I could relate to. The bakers harassing tendencies and social isolation as a person are not traits I exhibit, where as his strong sense of compassion and emotion is where I can relate more to.…

    When comparing and contrasting the poem “What It's Like to Be a Black Girl” by Patricia Smith with the short story “Country Lovers” By Nadine Gordimer. The character in “What It's Like to Be a Black Girl” is based more upon recent time while “Country Lovers” is based in a older time frame. However, both stories are uniquely about wanting to be loved. The poem and the short story are both great examples of the difficulty of life between two different ethnic backgrounds. While one concentrates more on tragedy the other is faced more with acceptance that leads to tragedy. Love although can't be explained, has many explanations to how one can love. Whether your love goes as deep as loving through tragic times or looking for someone to love you at all times. Both of these stories focus on issues of racism, inner struggles, slavery, prejudice, and the pursuit of freedom as well as equality. At the end, everyone wants and needs to be accepted and will do whatever it takes.…

    Over the years the amount of people that are overweight has grown so much that now over half of the adults are overweight. This is from not watching what they eat and eating healthy. Many just stop at a McDonald's or a Burger King on the way home from work. This is not only affecting the adults, kids are being affected as well. They are being affected even more than the adults because they already are becoming overweight and obese where adults didn't start to really gain weight until the past few years. This is because the fast food restaurants were not as popular as they are today. Kid's are being rewarded by their parents after they get good grades or do well with something else.…
