David And Goliath Analysis

In this evidence David did not have a sword, shield, spear, or a dagger, but he was sure he could beat Goliath. In addition, another similarity is they are both not what they seem they are. In the poem, Casey is supposedly great at baseball, yet he keeps missing the ball until he gets out. I know this because in “Casey at the Bat” it says, “Five thousand tongues applauded when he wiped them on his shirt… Close by the sturdy batsman the ball unheeded sped–“That ain’t my style,” said

17:33). No one had faith in David and he was forbidden to fight against Goliath. People judged

37 The Lord has rescued me from the claws of lions and bears, and he will keep me safe from the hands of this Philistine. “All right,” Saul answered, “go ahead and fight him. And I hope the Lord will help you.” David was the only one that stood up to fight Goliath. Another similarity is that they both had big problems to deal with. In the poem “Casey at Bat” it says, “With a smile of “Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone; he stilled the rising tumult; he bade the game go on;he signaled to the pitcher, and once more the spheroid flew;but Casey still ignored it, and the umpire said, “Strike two.” Casey had two strikes and his team was losing, he needed to hit a homerun. In the story “David and Goliath” it says, “4 The Philistine army had a hero named Goliath who was from the town of Gath and was over nine feet tall. 5 He wore a bronze helmet and had bronze armor to protect his chest and legs. The chest armor alone weighed about one hundred twenty-five pounds. He carried a bronze sword strapped on his back, 7 and his spear was so big that the iron spearhead alone weighed more than fifteen pounds. A soldier always walked in front of Goliath to carry his shield.” David had to fight a warrior that was much bigger than he

This explains that David is faced with a big problem because the soldiers were frightened by Goliath, which puts his village in danger and leaves David to fight Goliath all by himself

While David was talking with them, Goliath came out from the line of Philistines and started boasting as usual. David heard him. When the Israelite soldiers saw Goliath, they were scared and ran off... Sir, I have killed lions and bears that way,  I can kill this worthless

In the poem “Casey at Bat” and story “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. One of the similarities is that they both faced giants. David faced the literal giant Goliath. A verse in the Bible says “The Philistine army had a hero named Goliath who was from the town of Gath and was over nine feet tall.” Casey’s giant was him overcoming his ego. An example of this is, “There was pride in Casey’s bearing and a smile on Casey’s face.” Another similarity is that they had a goal in mind the entire time. David’s goal was to defeat Goliath and bring glory to God. On the other hand Casey’s goal was to win the baseball game. Some examples of this are, “You’ve come out to fight me with a sword and a spear

The text from Casey at Bat says this, “And the former was a lulu and the latter was a cake;”, which isn’t really said anymore, but is more recent than David and Goliath. The text from David and Goliath shows that they were in Bible Times by saying, “King Saul and the Israelite army set up camp on a hill overlooking Elah Valley, and they got ready to fight the Philistine army that was on a hill on the other side of the valley.” The Philistines, Israelites, and King Saul were armies and people from the Bible. The last difference between David and Casey is that David is more confident in God, while David is confident in himself. David knew God would be by his side, because the verses say, “The Lord has rescued me from the claws of lions and bears, and he will keep me safe from the hands of this Philistine.”

In the poem ¨Casey at the Bat¨ and Bible story ¨David and Goliath¨ the characters David and Casey have many similarities and differences. The first way that they are similar is they were both faced with big problems. David’s big problem was that he had to face a giant, in the Bible it says, “ 4 The Philistine army had a hero named Goliath who was from the town of Gath and was over nine feet tall. 5 He wore a bronze helmet and had bronze armor to protect his chest and legs. The chest armor alone weighed about one hundred twenty-five pounds. He carried a bronze sword strapped on his back, 7 and his spear was so big that the iron spearhead alone weighed more than fifteen pounds. A soldier always walked in front of Goliath to carry his shield.” ,and, “ 41 Goliath came toward David, walking behind the soldier who was carrying his shield.” which means they were about to fight.

In the two articles “Casey at the Bat” and “David and Goliath” there are similarities and differences. One similarity is that both David and Casey were cocky or confident. In David and Goliath this is shown in verse 38 through 39 it says “Saul had his own military clothes and armor put on David, and he gave David a bronze helmet to wear. David strapped on the sword and tried to walk around, but he was not used to wearing those things. Then David says I can’t move with all this stuff on and takes it off.”

After defeating Goliath, whose head lies at David's feet, he rests his sword by his side. It seems almost impossible that such a young boy as David could have accomplished such a task. The look portrayed on David himself too seems doubtful of the deed, as he glances down towards Goliath?s head at his feet.

In the story David and Goliath there is a great lesson to be learned. The story shows that you should never underestimate your opponent and be prepared for anything. David’s own intellect and knowledge of his own abilities enabled him to become the smaller, but stronger opponent. It all comes down to who is the better leader.

Michelangelo and Donatello were the most respected and inspiring artists of their time. Michelangelo of the High Renaissance and Donatello of the Early Renaissance both hailed from Italy. Both tell the biblical story of David versus Goliath, as told in I Samuel 17:28-51, in their sculptures "David." David was a Shepherd boy who killed the giant Goliath with nothing but a slingshot in his hands. Michelangelo displays David before the battle while Donatello shows David after the battle with Goliath. Michelangelo and Donatello were two of four famous artists who have created a statue depicting their image of David; Bernini and Andrea del Verrocchio were the others,

King David is known as one of the greatest kings that ever lived. He started out as lowly Sheppard boy to become one of the greatest kings of biblical times. Before David became King of Israel he herded his father’s sheep with his life in the fields; and was said to have killed a lion and a bear protecting them. The Old Testament prophet Samuel anointed David to become King Israel while Saul was still the king of Israel; because Saul was the King that the people wanted and he disobeyed God. David raise to fame began with him stepping up to face the giant Philistine Goliath; when King Saul seems to be fear of the giant. Smith (1933) tell us that,

David, on the other hand, is depicted as a character that is lacking brute strength and weaponry. We are told through the voice of Goliath that he is “only a youth, ruddy and handsome in appearance” (1 Samuel 17: 42). It is evident that David is meant to appear as an average kid with no exceedingly superior or spectacular qualities. This simple portrayal of David is significant because it sets in motion the development of realistic empathy from the implied reader towards David. It is important for the implied reader to feel empathetic towards David because even though David kills Goliath in the end, we are meant to view him as a hero, not a murder. Building a connection between the implied reader and David makes this possible.

David, the son of Jesse, who was a skillful player on the harp, and a brave and handsome youth. He help the king Saul cut off Goliath’s head, then the king took him to live with him, and he became the best friend of Jonathan, the king’s son. But this peace didn’t last long. After the king heard the song what people sang, an evil
