Chapter four examines the methods Jesus used to teach and spread his messages about the Kingdom of God. Jesus’s primary audience was the common people of first-century Galilee, so he had to adopt creative techniques to teach uneducated people about an unknown “fantastic” topic, the Kingdom of God.

The methods he utilized, includes teaching through parables, debates and including examples with miracles and enacted parables.

‘The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass’ is an autobiography of Frederick Douglass, the slave who escaped and became one of renowned social reformers of his time. The book is a collection of actual experiences of the author during his time in slavery and experiences of fellow slaves. He describes brilliantly the oppressive conditions into which he was born, lived, as well as his struggles and triumphs. The author meant to make the reader comprehend life of the African Americans in slavery before the ending of slavery. He also meant to highlight the misuse of religion and to use it to control other people whom they deem inferior.

Attention: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” (Emma Lazarus). This sentence can be found in the poem “The New Colossus,” written by Emma Lazarus in 1883. It can also be found inscribed on the Statue of Liberty towering over the New York Harbor, a bright beacon symbolizing the freedom and democracy we hold so esteemed in America. Immigrants founded the United States and immigrants are arguably who made our nation so great. However, when immigrants do not follow the process to acquire legal citizenship into the United States is when the problems arise.

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”. This poem entitled The New Colossus, written by Emma Lazarus. The poem was engraved at the foot of the Statue of Liberty. The immigrants who came to eastern of America would eventually arrived at New York harbor.

Discrimination is more severe. The new immigrants especially who are not white faced unfair treatments. Some just two or three generations

That’s all I know. Where has he disappeared? Where can I find him? Perhaps you’ve seen him somewhere?” (Wiesel 97).

The servants completed their task after assurances the leftovers would be ready to fetch whenever Lionel wanted, and they backed out of the room. Closing the door. Again.

We all finally agree to go. As we start walking over to the house things start to feel weird and I start to hear little whispers. I ignore it though and just keep walking.

Talking about America living up to their so called “promises”, “statements” whatever you want to call it. America has the tendency of not following all the rules or laws that they themselves have created. Between 1877 and 1945 did the United States live up to Emma Lazarus ' poem which is engraved on the Statue of Liberty? While, reading her poem “The New Colossus”, there was a sense that Emma Lazarus believed that the United States of America would had let anyone come into the state no matter of what the person’s situation and/or lifestyle they lived, basically “what happens in their country stays in their country”, America would be a fresh new start of life. The way she viewed America and the way America is viewed by many others upon this earth have some similarities and differences in various of ways. Therefore, her ideas of America being a “gratifying and inviting” place is just a belief comparing it to what this country is actually about, when it comes to the level of patience and actions with we the people and how America reacts.

We then see our families saying goodbye. We leave

I will never forget my life before the Red Death took over my town. Before the Red Death overtook most of my town, I had a great fulfilled life. I was married to the lord and we were part of royalty. My day started at dawn. Mass and prayers would be made and I would be served by my maids; this is also the time where my maids would help me get my dress on for the day. After breakfast I had discussions about many of things such as tournaments and poetry. My favorite part of the day was when I got to educate the girls who had been sent to my households. When the morning was over and the afternoon began, my noblewomen duties turned into housewifely duties. My afternoon was spent supervising meals and ensuring that stores were sufficient. I

The Biblical story of Lazarus is the story of when Jesus brought Lazarus back to life four days after his death. The first line in this poem that brings up the image of the Biblical story is “a sort of walking miracle”, since the raising of Lazarus was considered a miracle of Jesus. When reading the poem for the first time, I definitely felt the dark tone along with the idea that the whole poem was related to death. As I read further in, it was obvious that this woman was speaking about her multiple suicide attempts. The speaker believes that “dying is an art”, and she says she does “it so it feels real”, insinuating that without dying, she will not feel complete or fulfilled. She says that “it’s the theatrical”, meaning she does this for attention,

“Prince Nikolaus and Princess Adaline;Today you are being crowned the next King and Queen of England and your parents Helena and Harry are stepping down from the throne.After this very moment you are the reigning monarchs and the legacy that the family line of Lawson’s and your offspring are expected to follow.Are you ready for this commitment as the rulers of all of England and the responsibilities that come along with it?.” The Archbishop asked Adaline and Nikolaus with seriousness towards the two whilst awaiting their response to his question with

There are several ways to look at the poem, Lady Lazarus and one of those ways is that it could be looked at suicide and also about someone who is obviously emotionally troubled with this self-fulfilling satisfaction in killing herself. It’s like a prophecy that needs to be fulfilled and she does so every so often; at least every decade. Also, the poem could be said to be about someone with a severe mental disorder which explains the radical behavior of the suicidal attempts every now and then and she takes pleasure in doing so.

The Statue of Liberty was never built for immigrants. Initially, it was used to pay tribute to the United States of America and its newly founded democracy and friendship with France. Citizens did not think otherwise until Emma Lazarus first introduced the idea that it meant more. She communicated her opinions and emotions through a poem, “The New Colossus.” Although it was not instantly recognized, it eventually became the heart and soul of the New World. Consequently, it was so impactful and moving that it was written on a plaque at the base of the statue. Lazarus expresses the theme of welcoming immigrants to America with hope and freedom through the symbols of a torch and door.
