Lewis maintains that the Trinity was a source of love and personhood. Moreover, the way Lewis describes the Trinity gives us insight into finding true happiness and joy. The Trinity was of central concern to Lewis. In fact, Book Four of Mere Christianity is titled “Beyond Personality: Or First Steps in the Doctrine of the Trinity.” Lewis devotes eleven chapters to the topic. Lewis refers to the Trinity either by word or in concept numerous times in his writings. I don’t know where Schaeffer got his ideas, but he could well have gotten them from C.S. Since we are made in God’s image, we are made to experience a fullness of our personality, intimate relationships, and love. He argued (in my words) that because God is a Trinity-a tri-personal God-that personality, relationship, and love were at the core of the cosmos. Schaeffer spoke about the Trinity relationship, personality, and love. What I remember of his talks was that my mind hurt as I tried to follow him. He was on a tour speaking at various Christian colleges. I had never heard of Schaeffer and he had not published much at that time. One of the most memorable experiences I had as a student at Seattle Pacific University was during a series of chapel talks by Francis Schaeffer. Rarely does she draw a head of hair that’s not tastefully tousled or a background she doesn’t stuff with stuff. Like the manga she clearly adores and is influenced by, she is an exacting cartoonist. Counter to these absences are pages overflowing with the presence of ink and lines, lines, lines - so precise is Valero-O’Connell’s cartooning to call it ‘pretty’ denies its approach to the sublime. “ Don’t Go Without Me burnishes her reputation as a stubbornly open-ended storyteller fascinated by loss and how to fill the gaps therein.

There is a theme of memory running through all three stories, and panels are used to express the various aspects of this.

It is evident that when Saul becomes part of the team, his identity is returned to him with the help of his new found brotherhood, making him feel less isolated and more powerful. Point 1: Hockey helps give Saul an identity by introducing him into a brotherhood. How does hockey help Saul find his identity? kept on practicing until he was as good as the players on the hockey team. What does the image of the bird suggest about what hockey means to Saul?Ī bird learning to fly symbolizes the determination Saul has to learn how to skate/play hockey. In Canada in the mid-twentieth century, hockey is viewed by many as a “white person’s game,” and therefore Saul’s love of hockey is symbolic of how different his life is from the lives of his ancestors. Again and again, Wagamese uses hockey as a symbol for Saul’s life more generally. Ultimately his message is clear we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures.

Or “Kaleidoscope,” a heartbreaking portrait of stranded astronauts about to reenter our atmosphere–without the benefit of a spaceship. What’s even more remarkable, and increasingly disturbing, is that the illustrations are themselves magically alive, and each proceeds to unfold its own story, such as “The Veldt,” wherein rowdy children take a game of virtual reality way over the edge. In an ingenious framework to open and close the book, Bradbury presents himself as a nameless narrator who meets the Illustrated Man–a wanderer whose entire body is a living canvas of exotic tattoos. Only his second collection (the first was Dark Carnival, later reworked into The October Country), it is a marvelous, if mostly dark, quilt of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. That The Illustrated Man has remained in print since being published in 1951 is fair testimony to the universal appeal of Ray Bradbury’s work.
