672 Words2 Pages

The table is set and the aroma of herbed chicken, buttered cheddar rolls and sweet corn risotto fills the air. This dinner party is going to be one to be remembered! I have chosen to invite three very special people to dine with my Husband and I. They each have been chosen for a very specific reason. The people I chose are; Abraham Lincoln, Mary of Bethany, and Truly Wright. The evening will be one of enlightening and enjoyment as we get to learn and converse with these amazing individuals.
The first person I chose to invite to this historical dinner party is Abraham Lincoln. He is determined, and a man of great conscience. He was defeated in eight separate elections before becoming President of the United States of America. Yet he did not let this and other set-backs deter him. His level of persistence is truly admirable. Abraham Lincoln is also a man of conscience. In a world where so many people thought it normal to enslave others he believed differently. He stood for his convictions and freed thousands of people from slavery. Another person who stood for their convictions is the next guest, Mary of Bethany.
Mary of Bethany did what she believed was right and also was able to mourn with Christ. When Martha wanted to make the stay of Jesus as perfect …show more content…

Each of these people had great trials that they overcame from their

  • Trimalchio's Dinner Party

    978 Words  | 2 Pages

    Trimalchio hosts’ a farewell dinner which is a dinner given to gladiators who were about to face wild beasts in the arena. Trimalchio is a Semitic name based on the word for “prince” and he is a high living individual. However, a well-born Roman reader would not approve of his attitudes and behavior. You get a good sense of what Trimalchio is like early on in the story when he is in the middle of talking to Menelaus and snaps his fingers for a slave to bring him a pot. When the slave brings the pot to Trimalchio he peed in it, asked for water and then used the slave’s hair to dry his hands. (19) Trimalchio had many slaves, some of their jobs were miniscule(petty) that it consisted of them standing near the dining room door and saying “right feet first!” as people enter. Not only do his slaves have (silly) jobs, they are repremended for the littlest of things. When a slave dropped a cup by mistake at dinner Trimalchio responded by saying “go kill yourself, you useless piece of trash.” (37) A well-born Roman wouldn’t appreciate how Trimalchio treats people, it is puzzling he treats them so poorly since he was once a slave himself.

    Mary I “suffered terrible childhood of neglect, intolerance, and ill health”, says Galli. In her years she went from having high status, to loosing it all from a law change, to receiving it all back and reinstating her to the throne. Her major goal once queen was to reestablish Catholicism and was very committed. She was named Bloody Mary due to her burning of 300 Protestants at the stake which is a big sense to why “her reign was unpopular” (Galli). Thomas Wyatt led a rebellion with many Protestants to dethrone her. Mary was certain El...

  • A Summary On Jesus And Mary

    1194 Words  | 3 Pages

    When Christianity was first started, believers were focused on the martyrs around them who were dying for their newly found Christian beliefs. Once people saw the impact that Christianity had on its followers, they began to pay more attention to the Bible, more particularly to the New Testament and the roles of Jesus and Mary. There were not many things known about Mary except what was said in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John about her life, which were very few in detail. According to Miri Rubin, a medieval historian and professor of Early Modern History at Queen Mary, University of London, the reason the gospels did not offer many details about Mary’s early life was because “their aim was rather to introduce Jesus, and so Mary enters the frame as a maiden about to receive the Annunciation.” Mary is never ment...

    Mary was a very influential woman in Biblical History. In both Luke 2: 1-7 and Matthew 1: 18-25, it gives two separate accounts of the birth of Christ. By the nature of this event, this makes Mary the most important Biblical Woman because without this happening, the basis of our faith would be totally different. It would have changed the Bible, the Mass, and basically our entire faith to be something completely different from how we know it.

    Feasts and parties are means to celebrate any purpose that comprises of communal elaborate eating. Similarly, we see the early Mughal rulers celebrating their special occasions – victory after war, in honour of somebody, festivals, birth of a child or nuptials, or etc. by hosting a feast or a banquet. This explains the purpose of a feast simply but the question is: that is just it or could it hold a larger motive? Well, Brian Hayden, Dietler and Susan Pollock argues that feasts were an important event where commensality was not just limited to eating and drinking together but far more than just a physical act, it entails myriad social and political ties and a competition in order to display one's own wealth and well being. Definitely, a feast
