Sardonic Utterances

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.

Later after the battle has started we still see him hold on to his morals as much as he can. Even though he has to fight and kill the British, he still shows his strength in his morals in the battlefield. “God’s name, what are you to rob the dead with the fight going on! Cousin Simmons roared.” (Fast #147) We see just high of morals that Joseph has, and just how much he holds to

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

Contrarily to many children, Betty Anne Watters and her brother Kenneth Waters did not have an insouciant and happy childhood. They had a negligent mother and went from one foster house to another. They learned to lean on each other and developed a strong connection. Kenny grew up to be a troublemaker well known by the police. In 1982, he is arrested and convicted of murder. Kenny troubled past and his violence when he is drunk aggravated his case in front of the judges. Everybody knew him for being aggressive and impulsive. Despite the witnesses’ testimony and a blood proof, Kenny swore his innocence. Kenny’s conviction started Betty Anne’s fight to save him. Her strong belief in her older brother innocence pushed this work class mother

In Chapter Two he was addressed with the question if God was so good, so kind, and gracious, the why would he allow so

In the land of Judah, along the barren hills of Sakoh, arose a great multitude of heavily equipped and well trained philistines, ready to attack the terrified Israelite Army that stood waiting. Frequently, throughout the day, a malevolent man the size of a monster, with arms made of steel and a heart of stone, would arrogantly stand among the masses and boastfully declare his dominating power. Day and night the creature, by the name of Goliath, would mockingly torment the Israelites and challenge them to step forward and face him. His voice shook the ground like an earthquake as he spoke in a low, masculine tone,

The people whose lives we read about in the Bible are not the invention of some writer’s fertile mind. They were flesh, blood, and bone human beings. Feelings, emotions, trials, and temptations, were as real in Joseph’s time as they are today. It is a fact we must never lose track of. The Odyssey, Ivanhoe, and The Chronicles of Gilgamesh, are literary works containing historical figures, but we do not take them as literal truth. The word of God is absolute truth containing literal events as they pertained to the Revelation of God’s will for the people in the Bible.

Throughout the film there are numerous situations in which Joseph’s faith is tested yet he still stays true. These situations are integral to Joseph’s

In this insightful book of ¨Facing the Lion,¨ Joseph is an optimistic and driven man who looks for the good in any situation. He has watched

Genesis 39 What character traits do you see emerge in Joseph in response to his

An oft swept under the carpet Biblical story is that of the rape of Dinah and her brothers’ subsequent murder of an entire city. Reminiscent of The Rolling Stone’s “Gimme Shelter,” Chapter 34 of Genesis exemplifies sin in the Bible to the point where the story can be looked at many ways and the blame can be placed on many different people. There is the rapist himself, Shechem, there are the murderous sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, who slaughter a defenseless city, and there is the weakness of Jacob himself, willing to bargain his daughter away after her defilement. At the height of all the the sin though, is the absence of God in this story, who does not condemn nor punish either the actions of Shechem or of Simeon and Levi. That is not to say God is absent from the story though, in

Hoping to break the silence, I asked him, “Hey, what do you think of my haircut? It’s a new style!” It was in that moment I remembered why I had kept quiet about conversing with Joseph, he replied coldly stating that it looks and terrible and that “…he is losing confidence in people’s taste of fashion.” Joseph was always like that; when you ask his opinion on anything he would give an overly negative answer and find faults in anything people likes. I had always questioned that part of his personality, in fact, I honestly hate it. Joseph was never the most sociable person in school due to his lacking aura of a talkative and cheerful person. I believed that he acted this way because he has a small social circle, and therefore does not know how to convey his

Many children misunderstood Joseph as he is an aggressive boy because who he is, tall and large for his age, moves around really fast, makes a mess, plays rough. However, he just cannot help himself to slowdown: he needed to understand the others' perception of what he does.

It is very important that we as Christians learn to listen to the Lord and apply the great stories and testimonies we hear to our lives. After analyzing this story I know see the underlying message that includes obeying the lord, being selfless and always remember that Gods love is

Monotonous voice: A monotonous voice stands for a person’s voice that doesn’t change in pitch and doesn’t have the right amount of enthusiasm to correctly grab the audiences’ passion for the speaker and could instead become bored of the dull voice as it has become repetitive and boring. This could cause the audience to become supremely bored of the repetitive and passionless voice and they could leave just before he was about to give some important information that they needed to hear. An example of this is that a good voice would have the audience cheering and feeling like the country needs the person that is speaking but a person with a monotonous voice could make the audience feel like that he is so boring that they could give up with listening
