Satanic Titanic

It is now 12:23 p.m., April 15th, 1912. My name is Mollie Cobb and I was a 2nd class passenger on the Titanic. I have just gotten word that our captain, Captain Smith, knew there were ice reports and didn't slow down speed or change his direction. Thanks to him I had to leave my husband that I had just married behind. He is dead now thanks to that jerk. I will never forgive him for this. Him and the stupid crew. Thanks to them our boat did not go back and help save those poor souls left to freeze in the ocean. We only had 12 souls on our boat including crew. I know that if we went back that my husband would still be alive..

Forgive a Nazi?

In the book The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal a SS man named Karl asks a "Jew" for forgiveness for his sin in Dnepropetrovsk. This "Jew" is Simon. I believe that Karl should be forgiven because everyone makes sins, horrible or not so horrible, and God views them all as if they were all equally bad. Karl didn't know he was going to kill all of those people but he was given an order to obey and he did so.
"Believe me, I would be ready to suffer worse and longer pains if by that means I could bring back the dead, at Dnepropetrovsk...". This was said by Karl himself. In my opinion, Karl did not want to kill those poor innocent people but he was forced to by his commander. Who knows if he hadn't had done what he was told to. He might have been killed and his loved ones back home would have as well. Also, he feels so much guilt because he was not born a murderer. He was born a Catholic and enjoyed his faith. Deep down inside, he never wanted to kill anyone.
"I know that what I have told you is terrible. In the long nights while I have been waiting for death, time in time again I have longed to talk about it to a Jew and beg forgiveness from him...". By saying this, I believe that Karl has already admitted to himself that he has done something wrong and he has spoken to God about it in his prayers. He just feels so guilty about it he needs to ask someone who belongs to the religion, in which he was forced to kill the believers, for their forgiveness. This way he will feel that everyone will have acceptance of him in every way they can.

Forgive or Not to Forgive, That is the Question.

Situation- A teenager takes his or her own life to escape adolescent pressures.

I think that someone who takes their life in general should not be forgiven. I am being raised to believe that when you commit suicide you are automatically going to Hell because God doesn't want people to take their own lives. For example, my cousin had a friend that couldn't take the bullying anymore so she decided she would take the easy way out and cut her wrists. Instead of just ignoring everyone who hurt her she decided she would just leave it all. Her bullying wasn't even that bad. It was so unharsh that she didn't even ask anyone for help. Now she's gone. That is a good reason why I believe that being an adolescent and killing yourself is not a forgiven sin. I think that if you are a teenager and you kill yourself you're just taking the easy way out and you are not facing your problems. It is better to receive help and try to defeat your "horrid" pressures. Things will get better for you in the future.

     Many canines, dogs, have horrid breath. For instance, I asked my neighbors and my family about their dogs and all of them basically told me, "yes, our dogs have terrible breath. We could do anything for a solution." One day I looked through a magazine and I found it "Dentasticks"! The only reason I did see this classified advertisement was the fact that the company whow was promoting this particular product has a goofy looking dog and a passed out bird on the cover. Bingo.
     In the advertisement, that I had gazed upon, there is a dog, basset hound, and a bird, canary. From the looks of it the two animals are in a house which indicates that they are pets. The bird laid there on the bottom of his cage, the dog is obviously jumping since his ears flopping out and he is also cross eyed with his mouth open. The dog had breathed on the bird and that is what caused the bird to faint. But it seems that the dog is unaware that he has horrid breath.
     The tones that I had chose are silly, playful, and humorous. I chose silly because the dog has a very goofy look on his face, and the bird looks like he is just pretending to be passed out, but he's just exaggerating. Then I chose playful because the dog looks like he's trying to play with the bird. And finally humorous because the dog's stenchy breath made the bird faint, plus the dog looks really goofy and it makes it funny.
     In the advertisement about "Dentasticks" there is a really cute basset hound and a passed out canary that makes it humorous. The reason why the company made it that way so it would get peoples attention to buy their product. "Dentasticks" do help dogs bad breath go away.
