By mentioning the conditions that his people are in, Chief Joseph gains

He appreciated everything Jack’s family had done for him, especially Jack himself. Despite struggles throughout his journey, for example, “That’s why it felt like a nightmare when Joseph, maybe three steps away from the bank, fell through the ice of the Alliance River.” (GS38) As Joseph did go through these problems every once in a while, Jack had some what changed Joseph. During a fight broke out in the gym locker room, Joseph was being ganged up on.

From what we are told, we can obviously tell that Joseph has a very difficult life as it is, “What can a crippled, speechless boy do, asked Joseph…” Nolan is telling us that Joseph thinks of himself in a negative manner. But while he may look in himself in a negative way, he is still optimistic, explaining

Adam Cooper is the antagonist in this novel. When Adam goes to bed on the eve of April 18, 1775 he is a boy. When he awakens the next morning he is forced to become a man.

Joseph learns from his father, Elias’ faults in both his community leadership and personal life. Joseph is a more powerful leader as well as a family member because of this. At the beginning of the novel, Elias is introduced as the former leader of Waknuk the community they live in. He teaches and inspires Joseph to lead the community, but he is also a good example for Joseph to learn how to alter his leadership styles to be more effective. At the beginning of the novel, there is a jump back in time to explain Joseph's childhood:

Favored Joseph and put him in charge for the sake of being on god’s good side

David McCullough author of 1776 puts faces and feelings to the events of the Revolutionary war making this an exciting novel even when the ending is known. Acting as a companion to an earlier work of McCullough’s, John Adams, 1776 is a strictly military view of the era versus political. Although the reader may have to get accustomed to the vast amount of characters introduced McCullough makes sure that those you are supposed to remember you will. Every character introduced is described incredibly well and throughout the novel you begin to feel as if you know the character and are going through the battle with them, specifically General George Washington with whom the reader emphasizes constantly with throughout the war.

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.

Losing his brother was heartbreaking for Joseph. He was important to the tribe. Still, the Nez Perce fount to keep their land and live in the valley. Eventually Joseph became tired and sent a note to General Howard which read,

With the technology they had at the time Joseph effectively used his gifted talents in the way of acting to but on amusing and enjoyable works of art for people of all ages to partake in and enjoy. Short scenes were necessitated by the very crude motion picture photography of the day. There was no sound, and no title cards. The performers worked in pantomime. Joseph was an extremely likeable guy because of both his works and just in how approachable he was, he was unlike actors today and took time to not only acknowledge his fans but to also interact with them on more of a friendly personal level. He was so likable that people would flock to his shows, plays, and performances not only for his well known “Rip Van Winkle” but just to see him perform because they liked him and enjoyed his warm presence.Joseph was so friendly and approachable mainly because he was such a humble person he wouldn't just rub his extraordinary skills and plays and accomplishments in people's faces, he would sit down and chat and joke with his fans and admirers. While sitting down with fans they would compliment him and say things like, “hey your works are amazing I really enjoy them and wish I could be as great and accomplish something similar”. Instead of letting it go to his head though and boast about himself, he would continue being humble and say of their nothing really and inspire others saying they could make arts just as well as he could if they tried. His actions of kindness and humbleness, made people drawn to him and would literally bring people out of their houses just to see his performances. Jefferson was also a great role model because of his personality and his actions, so much so that a fellow actor even said that he set the standard for their line of work. This caused him and many others to both respect and look up to

of his capabilities. Similarly, Joseph is able to establish himself as a superior to his

I think that it inspired him because Mr.Brook saying that meant that joseph has rights to his own child. I know that because in the book joseph walked all the way from where he lived to New Brunswick. I also think that Joseph deserves to have his child and I do not understand why he was satisfied with the picture when he walked all the way from where he lived in New Brunswick. From my background knowledge I can tell that a father/parent will do anything to get their child to safety and in this case I am sure that Joseph thought his daughter was in danger without

The story of Joseph in the Bible begins with explanations of Joseph’s youth and innocence and how his brothers were jealous of him because he was the “blessed son”. It involves a lot of specifics, like it mentions that Joseph was seventeen years

The Joseph narrative can be found in the book of Genesis chapters 37-50. It is slightly interrupted “by the story of Judah and Tamar (Gen. 38) and by the so-called Blessing of Jacob (Gen. 49:1-28)” (Skinner, 438). The story of Joseph is seen as unique because it has different characteristics than its counterparts in Genesis. Other writings in Genesis seem to be short, brief incidents, about family and tribal affairs. The Joseph narrative, on the other hand, is lengthy in nature “comprising some 300 verses” (Barton & Muddiman, 60). In fact, Joseph is “second only to Moses in the attention given to him in the Torah” (Spring & Shapiro, 260). Some scholars consider the Joseph

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.
