From the Paper
"Another value that became prevalent during the period when humanism was rising was the value of the individual becoming more important than it had ever been before. That, too, is obvious in this painting. The most important individual is the infant Saint John, and the painter could not possibly have combined better the attributes of infancy?fat little limbs and chubby cheeks?and those of wisdom?depth in the eyes, sensitivity in the hand placed lovingly but searchingly on the orb, and a slight tucking of the lips, as if the baby wanted to say something, but was thinking better of it. In addition to being supremely individualized, this portrait says much about the character of saints and the concept of saintly wisdom prevalent in Europe at the time."

From the Paper
"Sofonisba Anguissola's painting titled The Holy Family with Saints Anne and John the Baptist (1592) is an unusual example of a narrative religious painting by a master who usually painted portraits. The work, which is oil on canvas and measures 49.5" x 43.5", is in the collection of the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami. The painting, which is signed and dated, reflects Counter-Reformation painters' interest in devotional images that made a very direct emotional appeal to the viewer. Anguissola adapted the composition from the work of another painter, her friend Luca Cambiaso, but her version shows an interest in sfumato and warmth of presentation that recalls the earlier Renaissance painters rather than the harsher realism that appealed to many Counter-Reformation artists, such as Cambiaso.
Anguissola (c. 1535-1625) lived in an age when very few ..."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the painting "Saint Anne with the Christ Child" by the French artist, Georges de la Tour. The paper examines the painting's formal and contextual characteristics and analyzes it as an example of Baroque art, compared to other artists of the baroque style. The paper looks at how the painting relates to religious, political, cultural and social changes that took place at that time. Finally, the paper examines how this work speaks about the religious propaganda happening at the time.
From the Paper
"Georges de la Tour' Saint Anne with the Christ Child is an oil on canvas, believed to have been painted around 1639-1641. The painting represents a night scene, illuminated only by a single candle, of the Virgin's Mary's mother watching the baby Jesus. This painting is at the same time a very religious painting, but also an intimate painting showing a woman looking lovingly at a sleeping child. Her face and clothes are very detailed. It has a mystical as well as a natural feel at the same time. It is actually part of a larger painting, a nativity that included Mary on the side. The most striking characteristic of the painting is the master use of shadow and light and in particular the candlelight that is depicted in the painting. There is overall silence and stillness in the composition both gently broken by candlelight and baby's breathing."

Anne Frank's "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl", 2004.
This paper discusses the psychology of fear as presented in "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Anne Frank in her bibliography "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl", being a typical teenage girl, was incredibly emotional. The author points out that the circumstance in which she recorded these sentiments was such that they were always overshadowed by her immense fear. The paper relates that, in the first few diary entries written in the Annex, although slightly afraid, Frank does not realize the true level of danger she is in and therefore fills page after page with detailed but mundane descriptions of daily life in the Annex. The author then explains that, as Frank matures, she begins to empathize with the apprehensiveness felt by the adults and, as a result, her fear begins to increase. The paper stresses that, in a child's mind, death is not a feasible occurrence; therefore, she can allow herself to believe that she does not fear it.
From the Paper
'In this entry, as well as many others, she discusses her constant fears of being caught by the Germans while hiding in the secret annex with her family. This entry is especially powerful because it sheds light on the fact that, in such small cramped conditions, there is little to do but let your mind wander. When put in a situation where you can not talk or laugh too loudly for fear of capture, all that one is left with is his or her thoughts and for a young girl, this can cause immense fright. As she points out on this same page of her diary, everything she says or does leads her back to thoughts of fear."

From the Paper
"This strategy helps frame issues that Wesley felt were important within a context that was accessible for the general public. Indeed, taking this position helped influence the audience to engage in introspection to see if they were personally guilty of any of the sins that Wesley framed as being the work of the devil. This process not only helps develop the themes that Wesley wanted to illustrate within that sermon but forces the audience to review the lesson and apply it to their own lives. A similar argument can be applied to the sermon about "backsliders" and Wesley's call to persons who consider themselves beyond the reach of God: through framing their decision to avoid their duties to God in both a specific and an ambiguous way, Wesley forces his audience to identify issues that are unique to their own lives and their own decisions concerning the church."

Abstract
This paper explains that metaphor and symbology are an intrinsic part of man's mind and are used because our brains need more "food" than logic. The author points out that, to understand the meaning of the fourth chapter of "The Revelations of Saint John the Divine", it is helpful to explore the thoughts of the Kabbalistic because Jesus belonged to a political splinter group of Jews called the Essenes; therefore, the author . The paper concludes that religion, mysticism, symbology and metaphor are hard wired into the human physical selves and have a need for the mythopoeic.

"The significant difference in the worship experience is that for the early Christian this was a transformative and personally mystical experience. Through the centuries, the worship service became a rote repetition of meaningless words mumbled by the illiterate masses of the Dark Ages. Not until the late 1960's did the Catholic Church, begin to permit a revival of this early form of worship called Charismatics. The participants would often fall on their knees and speak in tongues."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Basilica of Saint Peter in Rome reflects the acts of Saint Peter, serves as a model for all the great Churches in Italy and provides a deep historical and religious framework for Christianity. The author points out that Saint Peter is one of the most significant icons of the New Testament. The paper notes that the first Basilica of Saint Peter, finalized in 324 and which was designed in the form of a cross, became worn through the ages and reconstruction was inevitable. The author explains that reconstruction of the new Saint Peter's Basilica, begun in 1503, involved Donato Bramante, who implemented a Greek style cross design, followed by Antonio da Sangallo, who added the Baroque features to the interior, Michelangelo, who contributed his awesome dome, and Bernini, who designed in 1667 the square directly outside the Basilica.

"Jesus christened Peter with the name, Cephas. In translation, Cephas means 'The Rock'. The inference of this name clearly describes the role that Saint Peter played as a primary leader during Jesus' life. As a disciple, Peter witnessed a great deal of miracles and promoted the salvation of Christianity through example. Along with apostles James and John, Saint Peter remained close to Jesus and advised him on many issues. Peter was present for many of Jesus' trials and miracles, documented as the main apostle at Jesus' transfiguration, the revival of Jairus's daughter from the dead and the Agony of the Garden of Gathsemane."

"Introduction
This essay is concerned with the Person and Work of the Holy Spirit in the Gospel According to John. The importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives is particularly evident in John, and it is one of the major themes of this Gospel. Whenever the Holy Spirit enters into our lives, it is as if Jesus Christ or the Son is once again dwelling among us. The relationship of the human and the Divine can be seen by way of the Ministry of the Holy Spirit. No earthly person can ever hope to overcome the forces of evil alone; consequently, it is God, through the Holy Spirit, who helps to guide us through the labyrinth of temptations and leads us into the Kingdom of Heaven. This is really what John's Gospel is all about.
John's Gospel is often known as the "Spiritual Gospel," and..."

John Dewey and John Locke On Experience, 1999.

From the Paper
"Differing notions of experience divide philosophers John Dewey and John Locke. The views of both have meaning in terms of such human endeavors as scientific inquiry and relate to scientific meaning.
Locke's view of experience sees the world as preexisting and the mind as learning from experience. Locke believes that the mind at birth is a tabula rasa, a blank slate, and it is only through experience that knowledge is gained. Any knowledge possessed by the individual would be knowledge gained through experience. In the beginning, however, the individual has no experience. In the Garden of Eden, when Eve has experience of reaching for the extended red apple, it is a new one, the outcome of which will teach her a lesson she could not have gained otherwise. She has been told not to perform this action, and yet ..."

John Cheever and John Updike, 1994.
A description and comparison of their short stories including narration, style and views on American society.

From the Paper
"John Cheever and John Updike have both been cited as writers of American suburbia, and indeed they do delve into that area of American life in their works. The writers are very different in their style, tone, and the subject matter they tackle, however, and should not be mistaken for one another by any careful reader. They come from different generations as well, and yet Cheever's suburbia, holds the promise of a new form of the American dream, but, is treated by the author as the thing that destroys it. Updike's suburbia is treated more as a simple fact of modern life, although his characters find it difficult living up to the expectations of suburban life. An examination of several stories by each writer can show some of the ways each approaches their subject matter, their stylistic concerns, and their differences as writers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the theme of loss of family in the two novels, "Lives of the Saints" by Nino Ricci and "My Name is Seepeetza" by Shirley Sterling. The paper discusses the plot of the stories and the experiences of the main characters. It then looks at the way in which the character in each story that experienced loss managed to find a form of salvation in self-development.
From the Paper
"The effect extends to the parents as well, for Seepeetza's parents refuse to teach their children their language in order to protect them. One form of escape for Seepeetza is drawing, though here again, she has to keep her drawings within certain parameters and cannot express herself as directly a she might want. For Vitto, family and culture remain connected, though he does suffer the loss of family in several ways throughout his life even as he finds himself once more by looking to the past and reconnecting with his family. Seepeetza suffers a greater loss when both her family and her culture are denied to her, not by the normal circumstances of life, but by a willful government intent in destroying a people. Both find a degree of salvation in the creative act of developing their selves and in finding a way to express themselves in writing, drawing, or religious observance."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the character, Anne Shirley is more than a character in a book. She has been a friend and kindred spirit to millions of people over several generations. It shows how we relate her adventures to our own lives and filter them through our own experiences. Anne grows from childhood into adolescence, from adolescence to adulthood and beyond and each step of the way the reader is there with her, sharing her decisions, facing her fears and relating it to their own lives. The paper discusses how the growth and individuality of L.M. Montgomery?s Anne Shirley in "Anne of Green Gables", "Anne of Avonlea", and "Anne of the Island", depicts an inner struggle from self-delusion to self-awareness that can be recognised within us all.
From the Paper
"The novels are over, Anne finally realized she loves Gil, and their future seems set, so why do we still need more? What is it about Anne Shirley that has kept a world at her side for close to a century? Epperly captures it best when she states; ?we cannot fully explain Anne?s hold over us?(46). My mother and grandmother both read Anne?s story before me, loved her spirit, and secretly wished to be her. Three generations of women enraptured by one small girl with the heart of a lion. Why? ?Anne Shirley continues to live on today because she does not conform to reader expectations, to cultural stereotype, or accepted convention?(Epperly 70). I like to believe Anne Shirley lives on today because each of those readers would consider her a friend and kindred spirit and has held and cherished a piece of her in their hearts since they first discovered her. There is something about Anne that brings out the best in people. Her imagination, her joy in every common thing, her virtues and her faults; Anne is an icon for attaining our dreams."

?Holy Sonnet 14?, 2004.
A discourse analysis of John Dunne's ?Holy Sonnet 14?.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how poetry, perhaps more than prose, is open to a variety of possible interpretations and how, when ?Holy Sonnet 14? by John Donne is analyzed from the perspective of discourse analysis, a variety of interpretations become possible. The poem is considered from various contexts of situations, specifically field, tenor, and mode. It looks at how the field construct shows the religious background of the text, while tenor reveals the complexity of the relationships involved. It also shows how mode demonstrates the emotion with which discourse is modified.
From the Paper
"It is from this forced relationship with the devil that the speaker?s anguish relating to his relationship to God comes from. It is because of the enemy?s devious use of his own weakness against him, that the speaker cannot devote to God the actions that match his love for the divine: ?Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain,? (line 9). The speaker wishes for a closer relationship to God than the one he has with the devil. It is obvious that he does not yet feel accomplished in this. It is also clear that he does not feel himself worthy of God?s love before God has complied with his request to ?divorce? him from the hold of the devil."
