Compare And Contrast Ruth And James

In chapter nine Ruth was discussing the type of schooling she had received as a child. In her small town they had three schools, each designated to a group; whites, blacks, and Jews. According to Ruth, “, “The Jewish school didn’t really count for the white folk’s so [she] attended the white school” (page 61).She

* James notices that his mother’s skin color than his friends’ mothers’ skin color are different, so Ruth tells him “Who cares about your friends’ mothers’ skin color? Just educate your mind.”

God gives and He takes away, and in the book of Ruth we see God taking away Naomi’s husband and both her sons, but that is not the end of her story. The book of Ruth is a story of God providing for the widow. In Ruth, God supports Naomi by providing a loyal companion in her daughter-in-law, with substantial food, and a husband for her daughter-in-law.

Herb Clutter and Bonnie Clutter have 4 children including Beverly, Eveanna, Nancy and Kenyon. When Dick and Perry sneaked into the Clutter’s house and killed people, Beverly and Eveanna were not there. Beverly was in Kansas City studying to be a nurse and Eveanna, who was married, was in northern Illinois (6). Other than the first page and a few more times here and there, both Beverly and Eveanna were not mentioned that much.

To start off, both James and Ruth were the minority in their own school. Even though Ruth was white, or light-skinned, she was Jewish and that’s what made her different because most kids in her school were not jewish. Since she was the minority, it was easy for kids to point that out and bully them for that. For example, one kid told Ruth, “‘Hey Ruth, when did you start being a dirty Jew?’” James was also the minority and bullied at school. He went to a Jewish school which mostly consisted of light-skinned people and since he was darker, kids took notice. One time, they were learning about Black

Ruth and her son James both had terrible experiences in public schools, however some experiences were very different to each other. Ruth was a white Jewish girl who attended a white elementary school where Jews were hated. This caused her to change her name from Rachel to Ruth. She felt despised her whole childhood, “that feeling that nobody likes you, that’s how I felt, living in the South” (p. 81). Ruth did not have Jewish friends either because her father was a storekeeper for the blacks, her only friend was a gentile girl named Frances. Since Ruth wasn’t allowed to be anywhere near gentiles she snuck over to Frances’s house where she was always welcome, but she could not eat the food there because it was not kosher. At one point took

(scene2)”. In this quote is showes how excited Ruth was about moving into a new house she seemed as if she was to excited she wanted to start buying lots of things for their new home. Moving into a new community might sometime be hard to communicate or get along with one's neighbors. In this play this family is being very brave in by moving into a community where their are only whites living. If this family wouldn't have moved in they would not have to worry about the other neighbors saying or being racist to them at some

Although Dennis didn’t leave money for Ruth and his kids, he left a home that is fully filled with love and vision. Ruth had led her kids to get the vision and have a good education than getting in the ghetto area where it provides low quality of education. Ruth and Dennis’s mindset toward racism had made their kids be more opened toward others. Also, Dennis kindness toward others had influenced his children to also be like him. Even though James had faced problem during his puberty, he was never selfish but always thought of others.

Ruth and her family were heavily controlled by heredity and their environment. The color for their skin kept them from getting higher paying jobs, and because of that they were stuck living in an apartment that had belonged to their family for over twenty years. Hanberry showed society keeping Ruth in a tight spot throughout the show, but gave a “dream come true” ending for a happy conclusion for the family. These ideals were represented in Black Performing Arts History.

It’s about how even though God is greater than life, He is still interested in seemingly insignificant people. ‘The Book of Ruth’ can be shown to interpret that it is by using ordinary people that God brings about remarkable events. That’s a good message because it gives ordinary people a positive view to approach life

The book of Ruth opens with the death of Naomi’s husband and sons. Socially, Naomi was left nameless. During this era, any social significance or worth came from the men in her life. These dire circumstances rendered her invisible and marginalized in the eyes of the other Moabites and Jews. In our world today, although we do have different constructs that govern the way we treat men and women, there are certainly examples of individuals that surround us who are so low on the social ladder that we barely assign them a name or identity. The millions of starving orphaned, or dying people in the developing world sympathize and mimic the identity crisis and marginalization Naomi faced. However as the book unfolds, Ruth her widowed daughter in law,

The story of Esther is a tale written to inspire people to act bravely and wisely in a situation of crisis; Esther’s story also serves as a back story to the holiday of Purim, which represents salvation. The book of Esther is a unique book because there is no direct mention of God or religious traditions, this causes some people to doubt the authenticity of Esther. This sparked a debate among the early rabbis and Christian leaders of whether to include the story in the Bible, but ultimately the book was accepted as canonical. In the Bible, Esther and Ruth are the only two women who have books named after them; they are both seen as heroic figures, especially Esther by the Jews because she reshapes the destiny of her people. Although in the

From an early time of life, Ruth knew his older brother was unique. He found him considerate and patient. Keldon didn’t fit in with the more popular boys at school.

In today’s society of broken promises and commitments, is the book of Ruth even relevant? Yes it is. The book of Ruth shows when people keep promises and commitments, even when hardships abound, God will be faithful and bless the faithfulness those involved.
