Tim O’Brien

On page 57 of The Things They Carried, Tim O’Brien forwards that, “In a true war story, if there’s a moral at all [. . .] You can’t extract the meaning without unraveling the deeper meaning. And in the end, really, there’s nothing much to say about a true war story, except maybe “Oh” [. . .] True war stories do not generalize. They do not indulge in abstraction or analysis.”
After watching the films Cadence and Once Brothers, I’d like you to argue either FOR or AGAINST O’Brien’s statement. For argument’s sake, I want you to treat Cadence like it is a “true war story” and we know that Once Brothers is a biographical tale about two men whose friendship is torn apart by a war in their native country. So, is it really “impossible” to find any meaning in these stories without first “extracting” a “deeper meaning?” Do war stories truly not generalize? Finally, do they not lend themselves to analysis whatsoever (which is what I’m sort of asking you to do here)?

Here is roughly 200 word abstract explaining what questions I want to answer with the research and why I am i interested in exploring this topics.

Equality and the Fourteenth Amendment
From the ancient times during the era of slavery to the reconstruction, equality has been an issue that has tormented American society. From the phrase that all men are created equal, there have been issues about equality as the phrase did not mean all men, but a section of people that were considered the real people and the rest as inferior beings. The research will discuss how equality has evolved and what it is in recent times, and how the Fourteenth Amendment changed people’s civil liberties after the civil war ended.
In 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote that “All men are created equal,” and the meaning of this phrase has only spiked confusion and ambiguity as it is not known what he meant. The meaning can only be interpreted from his life and the land’s policies during his reign and even after that. The phrase and the perception of freedom expressed during that era were hypocritical as men surrounded Jefferson. He only had to give orders, and they would do what he wanted, whether they wanted it or not (Hilson, n.p.). He owned at least six hundred enslaved people, and as a result, it becomes clear that by all men, he meant all white men, excluding black men. The Fourteenth Amendment changed the way things were done as it applied to all men, whether African American or white. It granted citizenship to all people born or naturalized in America, and therefore enslaved people became citizens who had rights (History.com Editors, n.p.). Equality from the declaration of independence era to the current society only meant race during those years. However, in contemporary society, it concerns equality in gender, disability, and even sexual orientation.
In conclusion, Thomas Jefferson came up with the phrase that all men are created equal amidst struggles about slavery, which showed that only white men were equal and black men were considered as lesser beings. The Fourteenth amendment changed it all after it stated that black people, just like white men, were equal citizens of America. Equality has also evolved as it originally referred to only racial equality, but now it also applies to gender and sexual orientation.

Timothy Keller’s book, The Reason for God (Essay)

– Book you must use is Timothy Keller’s book, The Reason for God.
The idea of this essay is that you both (1) show that you understand Keller’s strongest arguments on a particular topic and (2) have an opportunity to share your perspective, which may or may not be in accordance with Keller’s. You must draw on at least two chapters of Keller, and preferably more.

YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES TO PICK FROM FOR ESSAY TOPIC (ONLY PICK ONE)
OPTION 1
A common argument against the Christian faith is that, on the one hand, it makes exclusive truth claims that are overly restrictive (addressed in chapter 3), and on the other hand, its followers are hypocrites who fail to live up to the moral standards set by those claims (e.g., loving one another, pursuing justice, etc.) (addressed in Chapter 4). Both of these are, in their own way, arguments against the boundaries which are established by the Christian faith.
Write an essay that includes:
Part I: Using direct evidence from The Reason for God, present Keller’s strongest arguments in favor of the boundaries which Christianity establishes for faith and action ( drawing from at least 2 chapters in Keller).
Part II: Provide your own brief assessment of whether you find Keller’s arguments persuasive. When providing your own perspective, give clear reasons why you find Keller’s arguments persuasive, only partially persuasive, or not very persuasive.

OPTION 2

A common objection to Christianity in modern western culture is that science has negated any need to explain the universe with “God,” and that God’s existence can’t be “proven” anyway. Keller discusses this issue in various ways in several chapters (addressed in chapters 6, Intermission, 8, and 9).
Write an essay that includes:
Part I: What you find to be Keller’s three most persuasive arguments in relation to this topic of the relationship between faith and science;
Part II: Provide your own brief assessment of whether you find Keller’s arguments persuasive. When providing your own perspective, give clear reasons why you find Keller’s arguments persuasive, only partially persuasive, or not very persuasive.
