Some aspects of St. Ursula’s story seem more fiction than fact. An example is her 11,000 virgins. I think that is crazy that she has 11,000 people that want to follow her. Another example is that people would be so committed to join Ursula to live their holy life. These examples support the fact that some parts of St. Ursula’s story seem more fiction than fact.
I think that the part of the story that appealed to St. Angela was when God appeared to her in a dream. That was just like St. Angela because in her life God sent angels to tell her that her sister got into heaven. St Angela would be inspired by St. Ursula for her group’s patroness because of her protection, support, and sponsorship to the group. St. Ursula sponsored
her group and that showed St. Angela what good she showed to her group. Because of St. Ursula’s dedication and patroness to them, St. Angela named her group after St. Ursula. St. Ursula is described very artistically. She is shown in paintings, stained glass windows, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, and other forms of christian art. The artistic representations reflect the life or death of saints. They could also reflect an aspect of life which the person is most closely associated to. The symbols that St. Ursula is associated with are : a crown like a princess, an arrow in her hand because of the attribute of the martyrdom, a pilgrim’s staff that is surmounted with a white banner, and a red cross as a sign of the christian standard of victory. If i was starting a group to work for a cause i would name it St. Rose (of Lima). I would name it that because that was my confirmation name and I liked how St. Rose was known for her beauty, but she wanted to serve the Lord instead of focusing on the way she looked. I think that is what we need to be doing in our society instead of the many things that we do like judging people for the way they look and making fun of the way people look. We would accept anyone of any age who wants to serve the lord and worship him in all the best possible ways we can. My group would focus on serving the Lord instead of focusing on how we look all the time and getting caught up in society’s expectations.
Inner conflicts can subconsciously manifest themselves into physical hinderances, and create numerous obstacles in one's path. In Ursula K. Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea, Ged is an exceptionally talented young wizard who navigates his way through the mystical world he eagerly wishes to master. During a spat with a fellow student at a school for wizards, Ged unintentionally summons a shadow monster that proceeds to torment and harm him in several ways, both objectively and mentally. The danger presented by the shadow is one that Ged single-handedly creates, and must be defeated so that balance can be restored. However, before he can conquer the demon he has created, Ged must conquer the demons within himself. Ged's own inner turmoil creates insecurities, doubts, and fears within him that then lead to external conflicts.
The Eve of St. Agnes certainly progresses and ends like a romance. Porphyro, a willful
"Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it as your fancy bids, assuming it will rise to the occasion, for certainly I cannot suit you all." This is an open invitation for you, the reader, in the short story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas." Ursula K. Le Guin is simply inviting you to become her main character. How might you accept or deny this malicious request? It is quite simple, really. To accept it is to read on, and to deny it is to disembark in the endeavor. The city of joy, your own Omelas, is developing continuously in your head. How sweet it is. The image of the bay surrounded by the mountains with Ursula's white-gold fire enchanting the air. Oh, and one cannot forget the tantalizing orgy custom fit to your most personal delights. Can you even begin to imagine the mere possibility of an association between religion and sexual pleasure without the possible deviance of human authority? It all seems nearly ovenvhelming. The fascination continues with every moment of lustful anticipation. One cannot deny their own perversion long enough to stop engaging in a plot that might encourage it. But there is a catch of course, for there is always a catch. This particular one is quite deviant really, for this city is a complete deception. It is a place of lamentation and punishment. It is a prison that simply provokes the archaic smiles described within the sentences. How best can one describe the goal of such a story? I believe I shall attempt to do so by describing the main character, you of course! You are presented with three stages and then you are given three questions. In the end, it will be your duty to determine the final event.
that she had seen Jesus with her own eyes, would you believe it” (Camille 45)? Camille goes on to list a number of people from which this testimony could have come from. With that being said, she comes to her first point by saying that she is impressed by people’s strong faith and sorry for their vulnerability for she is afraid for them. The author states
In life, empty, forsaken, lonely people in dire need of help put their faith toward God or a significant individual. A current example includes the 10 year old boy released by his kidnapper after singing a gospel song for hours. In Mark Twain’s The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc, Joan Arc, a teenage French military commander shows faith whenever she goes to battle or is about to face death. Eventually she gets captured and even though she will die she continues to keep her faith in God. By showing the effects of faith on Joan of Arc and her comrades, Mark Twain illustrates his belief that the value of an intense personal faith is important in everyone’s life.

They act as a perfect representation of women in the Middle Ages to Scholasticism period that went through social suppression by enlightening readers of the men’s misconduct against them. These two women started a movement that changed the course of history for humankind, even for being fictional and nonfictional pieces.
“Not, perhaps, the patroness of France; rather, the patroness of vivid life, prized not for military victories but for the gift of passionate action taken against ridiculous odds, for the grace of holding nothing back.” (Gordon 173). This quote is referring to Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc was very religious; known for seeing visions and voices from God telling her to go deep into France and help with the war, which she did. At the age of eighteen Joan of Arc led French armies through a series of battles and each of these battles resulted in a victory. Many people, especially men, were threatened by her because of the fact that she was able to do things like leading armies when she was both a girl and a teenager and because she was able to see visions
... beauty and light in the building, they realized that the church must really hold the key to salvation, for they were able to construct a place so similar to the afterlife that many people longed for. It seemed almost as if Abbot Suger had visited heaven and created a physical representation in the Basilica of St. Denis.
Douglas Light said that our imagination is better than any answer to a question. Light distinguishes between two genres: fantasy and fiction. He described how fantasy stimulates one’s imagination, which is more appealing, but fiction can just be a relatable story. In the same way, books and movies are very different entities. In the short parable Doubt, the readers are lured in to the possibility of a scandalous relationship between a pastor and an alter boy.
Joan of Arc can be seen through the eyes of two very different of thinking. One would be that she was a witch and possessed, and the other would be that she was a true saint.
In There Will Be Wolves, Ursula, which is the protagonist, is a healer. But due to the old Christian rules, women were not allowed to heal, but Ursula did. So they say Ursula was a witch and wanted to punish her. The bishop was a powerful person. He sentenced Ursula and brought her to the trial and tried to burn her, but her father Master William saved her. They then brought her to the cell. Until one day, her father came to the cell and released her, she was pardoned by the god, she had a chance to compliment her sin, as long as she help the Crusade free Jerusalem.
Joan of Arc was born in the village of Domremy in 1412. Like many girls her age she was taught like many other young girls her age not how to read or write but to sew and spin. but unlike some girls her father was a peasant farmer. At a inferior age of thirteen she had experienced a vision known as a flash of light while hearing an unearthly voice that had enjoined her to be diligent in her religious duties and be modest. soon after at the age fifteen she imagined yet another unearthly voice that told her to go and fight for the Dauphin. She believed the voices she heard were the voices of St. Catherine and St. Margaret and many other people another being St. Michael. She believed they also told her to wear mens attire, cut her hair and pick up her arms. When she first told her confessor she did not believe her. When she tried telling the judges she explained to them how the voices told her it was her divine mission help the dauphin and rescue her country from the English from the darkest periods during the Hundred Years’ War and gain the French Throne. She is till this day one of the most heroic legends in womens history.
The Chronicles of Narnia are veritably the most popular writings of C.S. Lewis. They are known as children’s fantasy literature, and have found favor in older students and adults alike, even many Christian theologians enjoy these stories from Lewis; for there are many spiritual truths that one can gleam from them, if familiar with the Bible. However, having said this, it is noteworthy to say that Lewis did not scribe these Chronicles for allegorical didactics of the Christian faith, but wrote them in such a well-knit fashion that young readers might understand Christian doctrine through captivating fantasy and thus gain an appreciation for it. With this in mind, and in the interest of this assignment, the purpose of this paper is an attempt to analyze one of the many doctrines of the Christian faith from The Lion, The Witch, And, The Wardrobe (LWW), namely, temptation and how Lewis illustrates it through an individual character, Edmund.
