Ed knows that he has to finish the last three missions anyhow because they were about his closest friends.
He describes St. Godric’s life as a merchant in Britain, and eventually Godric’s desire to use his accumulated wealth in service to God (Doc. 3). While Reginald was a close colleague of Godric and may have a slightly skewed take on these events, he nevertheless helps represent a small population of Christians who supported the merchant class and also demonstrates that the supposed greed of the “mean” classes can be used for good. Several letters from a merchant’s mother help to shed light on the opinions of other commoners during this time period. The mother grants God praise for allowing her son to make it in business and warns her son not to crave for more than what he needs (Doc.
At their origins, Christians and Muslims had different views about merchants and traders. This can be seen in the first document which is an excerpt from the holy books. “A rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God“(Doc 1) This excerpt from the document can be clarified as bias because it means for a rich man to enter the presence of god, it is near to impossible. The Christian bible uses a parable to compare riches to the kingdom of God.
Symbolism The most important symbol in “The Open Window” is the open window itself. When Mrs. Sappleton’s niece tells Mr. Nuttel the story of the lost hunters, the open window comes to symbolize Mrs. Sappleton’s anguish an0d heartbreak at the loss of her husband and younger brother. When the truth is later revealed, the open window no longer symbolizes anguish but the very deceit itself. Saki uses the symbol ironically by having the open window, an object one might expect would imply honesty, as a symbol of deceit. Themes Though it is a remarkably short piece of fiction, “The Open Window” explores a number of important themes.
Although source 6 describes Henry and Wolsey’s foreign policies as failures, David Gross ell does go on to write that Wolsey succeeded in bringing glory and honour. This is reinforced by other successes in their foreign policies, for example the field of cloth of gold which extravagance impressed the likes of many, and showed other possible allies the extent of Henry’s supposed wealth. This can also be seen in source 4, depicting fountains flowing with wine. However, as far as their foreign policies are concerned, by and large they were a massive failure, as seen in source 5 “never saw the time so needful for the King’s Highness to call his council”. Other examples include Henrys betrayal by Charles, the uproar caused by the Anglo-French alliance and the Amicable Grant.

Fairytales tend to place a large deal of emphasis on love, romance and happy endings. Yolen ends the novel with Stan who is Becca’s boss and the person that has supported her throughout her quest kissing Becca when she arrives from Poland. However their relationship and romance is based in modern day reality rather than the cliché love at first sight from fairytales.

Book of Luke Outline Luke 1 It is the longest chapter of this book, and I see how so many great happenings God has shown throughout this chapter; the angel Gabriel promising a son for Zacharias and Mary who in fact grows up to be “John the Baptist”.

While in Bethlehem, Mary gave birth to Jesus. She laid him in a manger because there was no room at the inn.
“The Attitudes toward Marriage”, The two stories have a third person point of view that is limited. In the two stories the husbands felt there will be no powerful will bending and they who blind persistence which men and women believe. They are the right to impose a private will upon a creature. “The Story of an Hour”, Mrs. Mallard was an unhappy wife. In “The Storm”, the wife Calixta was controlling and Clarssie was a happy person who was glad to be free with her husband presents.
