History of Easter Day

          Do you ever wonder why we celebrate Easter or why we have to hide eggs during Easter? Easter is a religious holiday that resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his death by some 2,000 years ago. During the holiday, for Christians has the day of religious service and the gathering of the family. In many churches Easter is preceded by a season of prayer, abstinence, and fasting called Lent. On ash Wednesday, its the first day of lent and  putting ashes on the foreheads of the faithful to remind them that "man is but dust." On palm Sunday before one week of Easter,celebrates the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.Holy Week begins on this day. Holy Thursday, or Maundy Thursday, is in memory of the Last Supper of Christ with his disciple sand Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion. In many languages, the words for "Easter" and "Passover" are etymologically related or homonymous. When the early English Christians wanted others to accept Christianity, they decided to use the name Easter for this holiday so that it would match the name of the old spring celebration.But it is pointed out by some that the Easter festival, as celebrated today, is related with the Hebrew tradition, the Jewish Passover.This is being celebrated during Nisan, the first month of the Hebrew lunar year. The Jewish Passover under Moses commemorates Israel's deliverance from about 300 years of bondage in Egypt.It was in during this Passover in 30 AD Christ was crucified under the order of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate as the then Jewish high priests accused Jesus of "blasphemy".  Blasphemy is the act of insulting for a religius deity of the irrevence towards religious or holy persons or things. Christians originally celebrated every sunday with observances such as scripture reading, pslams, the Eucharist and a phohibitian against kneeling in prayer. Common elements found in most Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant religious Easter celebrations include baptisms, the Eucharist, feasting, and greetings.

Antigone Essay

   Many stories have tragic function as an instrument of the suffering of others. In Sophocles's play called " Antigone", it talks about how the character suffers by a king. Suffering can be cause by a death  of a relative, unfair laws of the government for other people. In " Antigone", many had suffered by a ruler of Thebes, Creon. This play is about a woman named Antigone who wants to bury her brother but she can't by the laws of Creon and she was punish by bury her brother that Creon find out by a guard. In line 20-23, " O fate of man, working both good and evil! when the laws are broken, what of his city stands! when the laws are kept, how proudly his city stands! when the laws are broken, what of his city then? never may the anarchic man find rest at my hearth", it means that everyone has to follow laws and if the laws are broken, the city  will be weak but it also in my opinion is if everyone is following laws, everyone is suffering that they can't do what the want. For example, Antigone is suffering that the laws can't bury her brother but the other brother can bury with a soldier tomb and everything else. But also she's suffering by her punishment of taking her in the tomb : alive or dead but Creon thinks she will learn by that punishment. Its not fair to not bury her brother, Polyneices because Creon said that he is weak and he died for nothing but  Eteocles did die by honor and gave him a tomb of a soldier, flowers and his honor. It also in the movie, I saw that Creon send soldiers to punish every man with a stab because according to the soldier, he said that he saw someone burying in the desert but he couldn't see by  sand wind

julius caesar essay

   Have  you ever betrayed someone or has a person ever betrayed you? In William Shakespeare's play," The tragedy of Julius Caesar", it shows how Brutus and Cassius betray Julius Caesar to kill him. In line 10-34," Brutus: it must be by his death; and for my part, I know no personal cause to spurn at him, but for the general. He would be crowned. How that might change his nature, there's the question". This lines talks about Brutus thinking out loud in the orchard  about the problem of Caesar and he fears that Caesar will become too powerful. It also he fears about Caesar will rule by his hearts but not on his head. Brutus was a closest friend  to Caesar but then he turn against him with Cassius. In line 55-63, Cassius  says," that you have no such mirrors as will turn your hidden worthiness into your eye, that might see your shadow. I have heard where many of the best respect Rome,( Except immortal Caesar), speaking of Brutus and groaning underneath this age's yoke, have wished that noble Brutus had his eyes". it talks about many respect citizens suffering under Caesar's rule and haved wished Brutus could see how much better he is than Caesar.

He said " it can only be solved by Caesar's death. on his case, Caesar is weak and their argument against him. Brutus knows the kind of person he is now. so he want to treat him as a serpent's egg and kill him before he hatches.
