religions have one thing in common; and that is they strive to be perfect everyday of their lives. However‚ all churchgoers are not perfect. People’s actions and the way we live our lives cause us not to be perfect even though we try. Things such as: gossiping‚ greed‚ and envy are three of many deadly sins that churchgoers commit every day that cause them not to be perfect. Gossiping is more than likely the most common sin that churchgoers commit. Webster defines

What I learned. I learned the differences between transgender‚ transexual‚ and transvestite (cross-dressing). Jennifer Boylan made it understood that she is a “male-to-female transexual” and not a transvestite. She said that the word transvestite sounds “creepy” and bug-like. She believes that it is not about dressing up like a female but mentally and physically feeling like one. She explained that transgender is not a hobby and is purely about identity. In the chapter “They Aren’t Jellyfish at

Aren’t I a Woman? Was written by Sojourner Truth in 1851. The purpose of this speech was to shock people and make them realize the what’s really happening to the black people in America and how the women are being treated in America. There seems to be a lot of talk between people but they fail acknowledge see the true unjust that is going on and worry about trivial matters in the society instead.

What makes a monster a monster can be interpreted in many ways. A monster can be defined as an animal‚ plant‚ threatening force‚ strange terrifying shape‚ or something that is monstrous. Defining a monster is based upon a personal interpretation of what people deem monstrous. C. J. Roberts‚ an author from Captive in The Dark once said “monsters aren’t born‚ they’re made”. In my opinion‚ I agree. From the society‚ we live in today‚ most people are created into monsters by negative surroundings‚ pain

These Babies Aren’t Just Cute You have to be one ugly Grinch not to just love little babies. Even the most hardened among us will find ourselves oozing forth some gooey emotions around these cuties. That’s basically how the Gospel of Luke opens‚ with a whole lot of hubbub over two babies—John and Jesus—who are cousins. In this case‚ the excitement is higher than usual because of some cool and supernatural circumstances surrounding their conceptions and births. An otherworldly messenger named Gabriel

Heroes aren’t brave because they have no fear‚ but because they are willing to overcome that fear. The denotation of courage is ‘the ability to do something that frightens one.’ A hero doesn’t display courage if he isn’t fearful of his circumstances or the actions he must take. The triumph over fear‚ overcoming something hard‚ dangerous‚ or frightening‚ is what shows bravery. Willingly going against fear-no matter how big it is-to rescue‚ save‚ or bring justice‚ is heroic. The former President of

The Mongols aren’t as Barbaric as People Think In the twelfth century‚ Genghis Khan united the Mongol clans and created an empire. He conquered much of Asia but killed many people and destroyed many towns in the process. Many people consider the Mongols to be barbaric because of their ruthlessness and the amount of people they kill. However‚ this statement is incorrect. Barbaric means to be savage‚ primitive‚ and unsophisticated and no history of the Mongols could be adequate if it only dwells on

Sojourner Truth makes several striking points regarding women’s rights in her argumentative speech‚ "Aren’t I a Woman?" She boldly expresses her opinion on the way society judges the status of women‚ and she explains that she too is a woman‚ so why does she not receive the same treatment as other women do? Throughout her daring speech‚ Sojourner responds audaciously to the implied arguments made by other members present at the women’s rights convention. She proposes questions such as "where did
