Human Worth and Religion in Revelation :: Revelation
The story revelation is one that demonstrates and explains Human Worth, Religion, and Society in a very extreme, but very understandable way. Mrs. Turpin who believes that in society there are people like her and her husband ( home and land owners) who are above all others except people with more money and land. ââ¬Å"On the bottom of the heap were most colored people [â⬠¦] then next to them not above just away from them were the white-trash, and then above them the home and land owners to which she a Claud belonged.â⬠She has a very strong belief this and Thanks God that he didnââ¬â¢t make her like any of those people below her. Even goes as far as debating lives if God would have a given her a choice between any of the people she thinks she is better than.
