Term Paper

I have already mentioned my fascination with the symbols for the rose and the yew tree in a previous blog, and so I intend to write a term paper on the topic. Here is my thesis paragraph:

In life we are often confronted with the possibility of death, which is not a happy thought, but it is something that we have to live with every day. Many however cope with the idea of death through faith, a faith that will lead them to immortality, whether that is through constant rebirth or a single one. Often, these religions use symbols to show their promises. Two of the more powerful images used in religion are the yew tree and the rose. Both are, in their own ways, beautiful reminders of life, celebrations of the wonders of the world we live in. In attempting to understand what they mean to us, we can better understand ourselves and look forward to a brighter future.
