The suffering of Sister Caroline is shown to be uniquely black in nature because of the references to her suffering in the vineyards (cotton fields) for long, hot hours. Sister Caroline has furrows of care in her brow because of the suffering that is part of the African-American condition. Life is so hard that death is shown as a respite. In contrast to the elevated language of "Go Down, Death: Funeral Sermon," the poem "Incident" is short and pithy. It directly addresses the subject of race, detailing how the poet was called a racial slur as a child, by a boy her own age. The poet describes herself as excited about going to Baltimore but her innocence is quickly shattered. The brevity of the poem underlines the fact that being called the 'n-word' was all she could remember of her trip to the city, from May to December. This suggests the utterly life-altering nature of race in a far more direct fashion than "Go Down, Death: Funeral Sermon." It shows racism from the eyes of a child, who is angry about the world's condition vs. depicting an elderly woman who is resigned to the fact that her life is coming to an end and who hopes for a better life to come.
Question 4
The motivations of Abigail Williams of The Crucible change end evolve over the course of the play. At first,...
Abigail claims to be bewitched rather than admit she was trying to discover the identity of her future husband. Then, Abigail begins to accuse women of being witches as a source of personal power: she exercises authority over the other girls in the band of accusers and gains respect in a town where she was always shunned as loose. She begins to use her power as an accuser in a more directed fashion, turning her venom against John Procter's wife Elizabeth, in hopes of winning Proctor. When Mary Warren, a girl in the Proctors' employ begins to question her role as an accuser in the band of 'possessed girls, Abigail uses her power as an accuser to bring Mary back into the fold by accusing Mary of witchcraft. Finally, Abigail vents her anger at Proctor's rejection of her by accusing him of witchcraft. There is also a final motivation that may be less conscious on Abigail's part -- the simple motivation of the fact that the lie has grown too big to recant and the girls (including Abigail) have come to believe they are possessed, because of the pressures of mob thinking.
Viewing -- the "viewing" is not exclusively a Catholic rite, but is more traditional with Catholic services. It is also called a reviewal or funeral visitation. This is the time in which friends and the family come to see the deceased after the body has been prepared by a funeral home. A viewing may take place at a funeral parlor, in a family home, or Church/Chapel prior to the actual

Gospel: John 11: 17-27 1. Contextual information about the community addressed: Historical context: John’s Gospel was addressed to an Ephesian Gentile audience—modern day Turkey. John 11:17-27 describes the meeting between Jesus, Mary and Martha after Lazarus has died. Jesus’ hour is prefigured in this text but the text should be considered in light of the whole, larger passage, which includes the miraculous resurrection of Lazarus (page 681). 2. Significant information: Jesus knows of the death of
Death of Ivan Ilych:" the spiritual vs. The material In "The Death of Ivan Ilych," the Russian author Leo Tolstoy presents a man of the professional class who is so obsessed with 'getting ahead' he refuses to accept his own death until confronted with the inevitable. The title is ironic: Ivan defined himself throughout his life by everything but his mortality, but in the end that is all with which
Homiletical Outlining an Expository Sermon Introduction An expository sermon tries to illustrate, explain and give the practical application of scripture in life. It aims at helping the audience to identify the factual interpretation of scripture in their life. Such a stance is an ideal of high order. It is a reigniting of the preacher’s soul that glistens with conviction and an enthusiastic touch (Knott, 1930; Hamilton, 1992). Every writer and preacher broaching
The Holy Sonnet 'Death be not Proud' (Complete Poetry 283-4) seems to show Donne's mind grappling anew with the reality of death in the wake of his wife's demise. The form of the poem gives an impression of thinking aloud, as if the reader overhears the poet's thoughts as he engages directly with death in an attempt both to cut it down to size and to understand its true nature
