Creative Writing On Egypt

There is a place where not far from my hometown, which, since my childhood, still holds the secrets to life. It was a place where we were free. Free to do whatever we wanted to do, say whatever we wanted to say, it was our place, our river. It was a simple place, no paved or asphalt roads for the commotion of busy traffic, no tall buildings to block out the sunlight, no sense of time to feel rushed or anxious, no effects from the outside world. It was a beach on the coast of Lake Sakakawea called “Little Egypt.”

There are five creative principles in ancient Egypt which still have great resonance in current culture. Each principle brings not only a greater understanding of yourself, but also betterment of yourself. They strive to bring out the best in you. These principles are, autogenesis, renewal, individuation, reflective speech, and complementarity.

There are thousands of stories in the Bible, but one stands out in particular; the story of Joseph. The Hebrew meaning of the name Joseph is “may Jehovah add, give increase.”1 Through the life of Joseph we see God add meaning and purpose to his life, just as God adds meaning and purpose to all our lives. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”2 Joseph obediently followed God’s plans through trials and tribulations whereas many other figures in the Old Testament faltered in their faith. Joseph, son of Jacob, is the single most important human being in the Old Testament because of his impeccable faith to the one true God and his story of forgiveness that set the stage for God’s chosen people.

Joseph represents faith as many of the characters do in the Bible. God blessed Joseph with the capacity to excel in every situation. God gave Joseph intelligence and an ability to interpret dreams. All of these blessings were given to Joseph in order for him to save his family from the seven years of famine. The story of Joseph shows how the will of God is done through people and events. The reason the story of Joseph is so significant is because these events lead up to the Hebrew people settling in Goshen. Goshen is where the Israelites reside centuries later where they are oppressed and become slaves of the state. Joseph sets the stage for Moses. Moses rescues the firstborn of God, the Israelites. Moses also provides mankind with the commandments giving people their first laws literally set in

After Joseph was sold into slavery, he earned the respect of his owner, Potiphar and was given great privileges, but Potiphar’s wife betrayed him and he was thrown into prison. Joseph earned the respect of the prison guards, and became a leader of the prisoners. Even though he was forgotten about in prison for 20 years, he kept to his faith and true to his

Joseph no longer wanted to manipulate people. and he had finally learned how to best tell his dreams without sounding boastful or rude. He let the people know that no one could interpret the dreams he saw besides God, and that he would only tell them what he saw, and not what it meant. Finally, after all the struggles that Joseph went through there was light at the end of the tunnel. The Pharaoh had heard of the man who could interpret dreams, and called upon him.

A part in this story that I liked was when Joseph said” I trust my father” and then Gord says “you do?” and then Joseph responds “Yeah I trust him to always do the wrong thing. He doesn't know it, but he's my guide. I had a thing but he does and do the exact opposite. In a situation like this how should Gord have answered? The way he did was wise and intelligent. He said “Well, you can learn almost as much from bad examples as you can from good ones.” This shows you that God has a lot of experience with these types of circumstances and is always worrying about the mental welfare of the

-Joseph just remained faithful serving the living God despite of heartaches that he had gotten from his own family.

Hello there! I am Pharaoh Hatshepsut. Your probably know that pharaohs are usually boys. Well, that when it changes… I’m actually a girl! That is probably one of the reasons why I’m so great. There are so many reasons why I’m such a great pharaoh like my stopping the Nile River from flooding to much and stopping slavery and doing trade instead. My people are mad at me because of my wishing for the Nile River to flood to let the banks never dry out. “What was the effect of that?”, you might say? Well, the flooding of the Nile River ended up having the farmlands flood. That was very bad! All the farmers got mad and it was hard to harvest food. Everything was ruined. I ended up wishing for the flooding of the Nile River not too much, just enough

Joseph landed in prison when he ran away from the temptations of his master Potiphar’s wife. She falsely accused him of wanting to sleep with her and he landed in prison. While in prison Joseph laid out a dream that King Pharaoh's cupbearer had. To the cupbearer that was a divine connection. The cupbearer got released from prison and restored as the King’s cupbearer, yet he forgot about Joseph in prison.

Within the society of ancient Egypt, having a good Pharaoh was considered to be absolutely vital for the functioning of the country; and it was for this reason that Egypt had been ruled by these supposedly half gods half humans for over three thousand years. The position of the Pharaoh was auspiciously passed down through the royal family and traditionally to the eldest son when his father died. Hatshepsut was a significant individual who thwarted this convention by depicting herself as a male so that after her husband/brother Thutmosis II died suddenly she could become Pharaoh instead of the rightful successor, who was Thutmosis III. Because of the male-governed society of which she had lived in, Hatshepsut had to indeed subvert the

My concentration explores Egyptian culture, its people, and hopefully, relates the experiences I had when I lived there. It is intended to show the common lives and experiences of the people and the unique characteristics of Egypt.

One of the inherent conflicts in the story of Joseph is the tension between Joseph and his brothers. The tension between them is caused by both Jacob and Joseph. First, Jacob shows favoritism toward Joseph, because he is the son of his favorite wife Rachel. Second, Joseph brings back bad reports when he is out pasturing with his brothers. However, what truly increased the hatred and jealousy was the Joseph’s dreams. The author notes that when Joseph recounts the dreams, “they hated him even more (Gen. 37:8).” Their jealousy for Joseph is strong enough that they are willing to murder him. However, they decide to instead sell him into slavery, and convince Jacob that he was killed.

Egypt today can be a viable market for the foreign investor, especially the investor who has the ability to see the rewards of in investing in the region for the long haul. The world and Egypt both realize that the region is the gateway to the Middle East. Egypt is leading the way for Arabic countries to embrace a new way of doing business and opening their borders to the ‘global village’ concept.
