Lord Of The Rings - John Lesko

Lord of the Rings is another one of my favorite series. The movies are so in depth and intense through. I'm sure these films are packed full with symbolism but most of it goes over my head. The most obvious theme in the film is the battle between good and evil. Frodo and the fellowship of the ring signifies the good and Soroman and the Ring signify the evil. The Ring takes control of whoever carries it and makes them power hungry. The Ring has some sort of evil hold on people that they want to escape but cannot. This hold is similar to the hold that evil or sin the Devil puts upon people in the Christian religion. People do not want to sin but some sin is so tempting and makes us obsessed with them that it is hard to break free from even when we know we must escape it or break it, just like the Ring. Like Jesus, Frodo has a band of followers who protect and help him during his journey to destroy evil.

The "Prodigal Son Theme" in Movies In Luke 15: 11 - 32, Jesus shares the story of the Prodigal Son with His disciples. The story goes as follows: A father has two sons.

Senior Year - John Lesko

As I finish my junior year of college, I feel many things. I feel worried and unprepared for what lies ahead. I feel lucky for all the friends and memories I have made at CNU. I feel excited and ready for the future and its independence. When people say, "have fun because college flies by" are not exaggerating at all. I can still remember moving into my freshman hall and it feels not that long ago. I feel like I haven't learned or grown very much as a person, although I know I have. Learning and growth happen so gradually that it is hard to monitor as time passes. Growth is easier realized from the outside looking in then the other way around. I know I will take what I have learned and apply to the world. I just wish it would all slow down a little.
