A monk is a person who practices religious asceticism, living either alone or with any number of other monks. A monk may be a person who decided to dedicate his life to serving all other beings, or who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live his life in prayer and contemplation.

abilities at avoiding disaster. The prisoner wakes only to realize that he is strapped onto a board and bound by a "surcingle". The word he uses is significant; it can apply to the binding of saddle on a horse, or to the binding of a priest's cassock. He perceived himself as bound like an animal by the belt of a priest, symbolically bound to the demented will of his prison-masters.

If God exists, then so does the Devil and then he’ll know his place in the world. The priest thinks that Louis is making a joke out of confession when he yells, “Young man, do you fear God at all? Do you know the meaning of sacrilege
I remember this day like if it was yesterday because it was the day I had to make a college decision. I had to decide if I wanted to keep studying in the states and pursue a higher and more prestige education than in Mexico, or if I wanted to go back to Mexico and rebuild relationships with my friends from home and be closer to my family. In both cases I had something to win and something I was about to sacrifice. This was probably the day I cried the most but not because I was sad. I felt overwhelmed

During an in class discussion of the book 100 Years of Solitude, a fellow student suggested the women characters seem to be much more stable than the male characters. She stated that, “the women are the ones who take care of the house while the men go off and fight their silly wars.” She continued to note that the men seem to constantly immerse themselves in useless projects while the women are forced to take care of the home and dissuade their husbands’ irrational need for adventure and change.

This type of lifestyle is even shown through to the priest, “You might have heard it whispered by the parishioners leaving church, heard it from the lips of the priest himself, struggling with his cassock in the vestiarium.” Even the local priest, who is supposed to show a more significant way of living, has become part of this lonely suburban way of living. Neddy also has a seeming, empty life with his friends. His friends are welcoming towards him

Inevitability of the African colonisation Before I begin to discuss the question of the inevitability of the colonisation of Africa by the European powers I want to say that, colonisation as we know it; the taking over of a country by another country and the forcing on of a different culture, is always evitable. At least it should be. However we have to include the fact that we’re all human beings which think their own good superior to the one of others, and of course that we’re all creatures

By the time he'd arrived at the room, Donahue had already taken hold of the bag she'd brought in with her, and the young girls eyes widened when she saw the new man, attired in his woolen cassock. Unlike the rest of the staff of the residence, who generally garbed themselves in civilian clothing, Thorne preferred to wear those of his profession, both to remind his inferiors of their place, and the residents of his status as a man of God.
lower clergy did not enjoy these same privileges, while the 'Bishop plays the great nobleman and spends scandalous sums on hounds, horses, furniture, servants, food and carriages, the parish priest does not have the wherewithal to buy himself a new cassock...the bishops treat their priests , not as honest footman, but as stable-boys.'

During the story The Rod of Justice by Joaquim Maria Machado De Assis, Damiao seems to be a standard, cut and dried main character, but underneath he is riddled with mystery. He must make crucial choices but remains a cowardly character. Damiao’s personality, relationships, and choices play a big part in defining him. Throughout the story, Damiao demonstrates many facets of his personality, while he seems to be a static or flat character, not showing too many other emotions than his powerless and
