Leviticus Chapter Summary Atticus Chapter 1

In Chapter 2 of Encountering the New Testament the author talks about a few of the different practices that unified the Jews as well the different religious groups that had different beliefs. Judaism was unified in the beliefs that they had been chosen by God, they were waiting for the messiah to come, they respect the synagogues, they shared the same laws and traditions of elder. Although these beliefs were unifying there were seperate religious groups and leaders that held different beliefs. Probably the most well known group of religious leaders were the Pharisees. The Pharisees were a small group of religious leaders that believed in God, and the coming messiah. Although many of the Pharisees did live good lives many of them were

I’m the same in the house as outside of the house. In the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee Atticus shows he is fair to everyone no matter where he is. Atticus believes everyone should be treated equal. No matter who Atticus puts in danger he treats everyone fairly. Atticus shows his children how to respect people and treat them right no matter what the other person does or says to them. Atticus symbolizes equality and justice not only in the courtroom but outside of the courtroom.

1. Using the book, notes, and biblical text itself, choose two of the Gospels and compare and contrast their presentation of the life of Christ. Be sure to include how things like the authors’ background and audience affect their message.

Have you ever felt like no around you liked you, or like they all thought you were something you weren’t? I’m sure Arthur (Boo) Radley felt this way everyday! Romans 15:7 says “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” All throughout the bible it speaks of acceptance and how we should accept all. Jesus is willing to accept us when we are at our worst, as retched sinners. If he can accept us, we should be able to accept anyone and everyone.

Well, the basic message is that this quote lies in life lessons and responsibilities. Atticus wants to teach this lesson to younger audiences. The quote has the fact that people can't live with himself or herself. So, a person who doesn't live by their own beliefs will be taken over by their own mind or consciousness.

How would you feel if you dedicated your life to the greater good, and your efforts were ignored? It is considered a sin to destroy something that exists for the benefit of a community. Mockingbirds bring music and make the world a nicer place to live for the individuals that hear them, and killing them would be a sin according to this definition. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, there are some characters that are seen as good people by the rest of the town, but they are not the ones trying to make the world a better place. On the other hand, the least respected members of the community may seem like degenerates, but are typically the least likely to ‘kill a mockingbird,’ and occasionally are the ‘mockingbirds,’

Leviticus is a law book which demonstrates the concerns of peoples' daily life. The book has got detailed rules that regulates the offering of the sacrifices, the tasks of priests, the sexual, the calendar of the liturgy, the dietary as well as, the economic practices the Israelites were practicing not forgetting the ritual and the moral holiness. The book of Leviticus manages to offer the children of the Israel, an instruction of how one can live to become part of Christ, people who are ever holy, "be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy" (19:2). In short, Leviticus offers the vision of being holy to God as it also issues a call to a living that is holy to those who are in a covenant with God. However the shape

I believe Atticus's closing argument at the trial is correct and inspiring. It is correct because not all men are created equal as Thomas Jefferson had once said because some men are smarter than others, some are born with more opportunity. Some men make more money than others, some ladies make better cakes, and some people are born gifted beyond the normal talents of other people. I like and completely agree with the statement Atticus had made that not all men are created equal, except for in one place, which is the court, it makes a rich man equal to a poor man and a stupid man equal to a smart man. I find it inspiring because his statement forces you to look at things from his perspective, and not just yours, he explains his view of the

This is the closing statement of Atticus’s argument. Before the jury goes off to decide the verdict, he is trying to ignite an inner battle between right and wrong, along with provoke thought within the minds of the men that makeup the jury.

A book of conflict and thrill, it bring happiness and sadness. An American classic, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a book that is to be read for hundreds of years.The book revolves around many characters with different personalities but Atticus, a single father who has two children named Scout and Jem is just one of the very many. In a part, he decides to defend a “negro” when he is accused of raping a white girl. Now Tom, the “negro” is more of a caring person who actually always helped people and minded his own business. I should say that it does make sense for Atticus to take a stand, for his honesty and his selflessness.

“Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win” ( Lee 101). To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, takes place in a town called Maycomb, where coloreds are looked down upon. Atticus, one of the main characters, is a father of a boy and a girl, by the names of Scout and Jem. He is assigned a case where a colored man, Tom Robinson, is accused of raping a white girl. “Fair” cases are usually only for white people, so the town gets upset when Atticus is handed the case. Atticus is a man that believes in equality, so he does not only fight for Tom’s freedom but also equality and fairness. By doing so he sets a good example for his kids. Atticus’s view on the world and

In Chapter 20, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; the father of two children, whom have been targeted by adults and children alike, Atticus. He is a defense attorney with one obligation, to himself, to Tom Robinson, to his children, and most importantly the citizens of Maycomb, Alabama. His job is to defend a man who he is certain is innocent (only guilty of being a victim to prejudice) to stand in front of a jury full of men who respect him but deny an honest man of his salvation. Atticus has one opportunity to save a man’s life, and in his noble attempt he strains to reach the jury, while Harper Lee connects with her reader with ease.

On a chilly winter morning, Atticus rushed a tired Jem and Scout into clothing and out of their beds. He told them there was a fire in Miss Maudie’s house and they should stand in front of the Radley house where it was safe. They saw the flames engulfing Miss Maudie’s house and ran down the street to the Radley’s house. Watching the events unfold, Scout said to herself, “…I saw Atticus carrying Miss Maudie’s heavy oak rocking chair, and thought it sensible of him to save what she valued most” (71). She was proud that Atticus thought to save Miss Maudie most prized possession. As members of the community we're pulling furniture out of the house, Dick went to the top and threw furniture out on a mattress. As the flames rose and tore down the stairs,

In To Kill a Mockingbird and 12 Angry Men, both men, Atticus and Mr. Davis, persuade the jury by logos to prove that the defendant is innocent. In Atticus’s closing argument, Atticus used logos in his evidence and facts that he provided during the trial to persuade the jury that Tom Robinson was innocent. Atticus started off his closing statement by stating the obvious, Tom Robinson has no use of his left hand and he could not have punch Mayella on her right side of her face. Tom Robinson has been accused of raping Mayella Ewell even though “the state has not produced one iota of medical evidence that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place. It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses whose evidence has not only

Leviticus 16 is read and interpreted as the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur. The biblically stated purpose of Yom Kippur, which is significantly different to the Rabbinic purpose, is to purify the Mishkan (Tabernacle) and to purify the high priests, priests, and the people of Israel. The concepts of ‘holy’ ‘clean’ and ‘unclean’ are intrinsic to understanding Leviticus. Since God is holy, then anything that comes in close contact of God must also be holy. The Mishkan, its contents, the High Priests, Priests and the sacrificial animals all must be holy. When Aaron enters the Mishkan on the first Day of Atonement, various rituals have to take place as he can only enter after following the prescribed set of ritual procedures. Everything that will be taken to the Mishkan that day, including himself, need to be holy and free from impurities. First, Aaron is instructed to wear white linen clothing, which is not the usual uniform of a high priest. The usual uniform is much more extravagant, but because Aaron is entering on the Day of Atonement, he must wear simple clothes to symbolize his lowly status in comparison to God. Next, Aaron is instructed to bathe. This ritual is intended to be interpreted symbolically, as bathing is not for hygienic purposes in this instance but rather he is to immerse himself in water to remove impurities. Water is necessary because after bathing in it, it allows you to get into the Mishkan. Next it is important to note that Aaron is instructed to have a
