    ABSTRACT Theodicy in an Age of Entitlement: an Examination of Western Cultural Consciousness and its Relation to the Individual's Perception of God in the Modern Age Bethany Page Director: Trent G. Dougherty, Ph.D. The question of how an omnipotent, omniscient, all good God could allow the presence of evil in the world has arisen in every age and every culture wherein the idea of God is elevated to the highest standard. Different cultures throughout the history of Western civilization have responded to this problem of evil in various ways, but never has there been such a demand for a justification of God's goodness in the face of the presence of evil as in the modern age. While this thesis does not explicitly seek to give a justification of God's goodness, it does aim to explain why the modern age is outraged by the problem of evil, perhaps more than any precedent. It does so by examining the cultural environment of the individual and how the individual perceives himself in relation to the community and to God.

  • The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
    THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER BY MARK TWAIN (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) Complete Ebd E-BooksDirectory.com PREFACE Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two were experiences of my own, the rest those of boys who were schoolmates of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an individual—he is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture. The odd superstitions touched upon were all prevalent among children and slaves in the West at the period of this story—that is to say, thirty or forty years ago. Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in.

"What's gone with that boy, I wonder? You TOM!" No answer. The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about the room; then she put them up and looked out under them.

    NUMBER 13-19-00125-CR COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG SAMUEL TREVINO LISCANO, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee. On appeal from the 398th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas. MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Hinojosa, Perkes, and Tijerina Memorandum Opinion by Justice Tijerina Appellant Samuel Trevino Liscano appeals his conviction of aggravated sexual assault of a child under six. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 22.021(a)(1)(B)(i), (f)(1) (enhancing minimum punishment to twenty-five years’ confinement if the child is under the age of six when the offense is committed). Liscano was sentenced to life imprisonment. See id. § 12.42(c)(2) (enhancing punishment range to life imprisonment if the defendant is convicted of an offense pursuant, to among others, § 22.021 and has previously been convicted under § 20A.02(a)(7) or (8), § 21.02, 21.11, § 22.011, § 22.021, or § 25.02). By three issues, Liscano contends that the evidence is insufficient and the “presence of third parties in the jury room during the deliberations violated” his right to a fair and impartial jury.1 We affirm as modified. I. SUFFICIENCY OF THE EVIDENCE A. Standard or Review and Applicable Law In determining the sufficiency of the evidence, we consider all the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict and determine whether a rational fact finder could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence and reasonable inferences from that evidence.

There is a much more subtle repetition in his works, of an unsettlingly dark nature. Dostoevsky frequently employed the same stories (and historical accounts, cases from newspapers included) of horrific suffering in different works. The mention of a man brutally murdering two women in The Idiot is the central theme in Crime and Punishment , and the chapter about the inhumane torture of an old horse in Crime and Punishment is commented on in Demons .

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ―PUNISHED IN THE SHAPE HE SINNED‖: SIN AS SELF-PUNISHING IN DANTE AND MILTON LAURA B.ALBANESE Summer 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in English and Italian Language and Literature with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Laura L. Knoppers Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Sherry L. Roush Associate Professor of Italian Second Reader Janet W. Lyon Associate Professor of English, Women‘s Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTRACT This paper explores the question of punishment as seen in Milton‘s Paradise Lost. Milton‘s conception of punishment was heavily influenced by Dante‘s medieval epic, The Divine Comedy. The connection between the two works, while recognizable, can often be quite puzzling. Further research demonstrates how Milton expertly incorporates Dante‘s Comedia into his own while also substantiating that influence within Milton‘s epic. i To Laura Knoppers, for all the hours of guidance and attention she committed to this project. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract………………………………………………………i Acknowledgements …………………………………………ii Introduction …………………………………………………1 Dante‘s Understanding of Punishment in the Inferno ……....4 Milton‘s Scheme of Punishment in Paradise Lost ……......14 The Issue of Repentance in Paradise Lost…………………21 Conclusion ………………………………………………...27 Works Cited …………...…………………………………..28 In the opening invocation to his epic, Paradise Lost,1 John Milton asserts the aim of the poem to ―justify the ways of God to men‖ (PL I.26).
