Tita is an example of a character that is being affected by family traditions. However, in the passage it shows what happens to Tita when she is finally able to escape her mother's wrath. The author uses personification and parallelism to show that Tita was trapped into doing what her mother said and now that she is free from her she puzzled about what to do.

Bosma (n.d.) believed that this is evident because of the lexical parallels between in verses 4, 6 and 17. Also, Verses 15-21 reflect the poet's use of alternating parallelism (Bosma, n.d.).

Second, verse 16 shows anthropomorphism because of the use of “the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,” which in turn signifies the explicit comparison of God to the aspect of mankind (Bible Getaway, n.d.).

David noticed how his daughter kept scuffing her feet and scowling with exaggerated impatience, while giving him a silent treatment with obvious difficulties, not because she was avoiding to get yet another reprimand from him, but because she was just stubborn and proud like her mother. God, how she reminded him of her so much; same strong piercing forest-green eyes, luminous and full auburn hair, musical singsong voice, not to mention the will as strong as the Excalibur's iron, and the character of an untamed Tarpan

Loader reveals that within it, “we have the most intricate chiastic composition in the Old Testament.” Smith points out that, “In Hebrew manuscripts and in most printed texts verses 2–8 are printed in two parallel columns so that the contrasting times are clearly juxtaposed. The list contains fourteen pairs of contrasts, ranging from external circumstances to the inner affections of a person’s being.” Doug Miller explains, however, that discerning the purpose and function of the poem is key. He suggests that, “There are at least five options for understanding the meaning of time for the twenty-eight elements found in the poem and the overall message of Qohelet’s use of the poem.”

Parallelism in Psalm 137: “If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its skill,” and, “Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember

The overall structure of the Psalm is that it is broken into two halves. The first half of the psalm is God’s creation. The second half deals with God’s Word. Though they are both different they both share the common theme of god revealing Himself to mankind. Inside of these halves the author uses different parallelism. In the first verse we see synonymous parallelism, using the heavens and skies to make the point that they are telling of God’s Work. In the seventh verse we see synthetic parallelism showing the progression from perfection to restoration of the imperfect.

The Book of Psalms is the Book of Prayer. Whoever wants to learn to pray let him pray to David and whoever prays with the psalms, David shall be a teacher for him, how he should pray as a father that shall hold his son's hand to teach him how to write.

Verse three outlines the start of the forming of David's band of miscreants; "Also joining him was every person who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. He became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him" (NKJV). David is now the leader of an unstructured group of men discontented with the current political situation. They had been wronged and mistreated, were under a curse of debt that they could not pay. They were not trained loyal soldiers, but like David, are so distressed that they have no option left except to run and hide from their problems (Swindoll, 1997, p.74; Epp, 1965, p.56). Psalm 57 indicates that not only were they hiding, but they were angry and wanting vengeance on those they felt had wronged them�. Keller (1985, pp. 120,121) suggests that it was in living with these oppressed outcasts that David developed his compassion for those living under oppression.
