The Journey Of Ruth's Migration

Ruth is a Biblical story loved by many. A story of God’s unexpected plan panning out in a style that only He could come up with inspires many to trust His direction. The movie, titled The Story of Ruth, conveys this message though the movie does not always adhere to perfect Biblical accuracy. The addition of certain events and characters enhances the movie’s appeal, yet distracts from the factual account presented in the Bible.

Ruth has been physically abandoned by her husband; Ruth and Macon Dead II never have gotten a divorce, they remain together for the duration of the novel. Ruth is physically abandoned by her husband, and this is seen in the following quotation, “And almost twenty years during which he had not laid eyes on her naked feet, he only missed the underwear”(16). This shows, that in the marriage they had not been together romantically in two decades. Marriage is about love and physical contact, therefore one can infer that don’t even sleep in the same room and that he doesn’t acknowledge her existence. It’s stated in the text that Macon Dead II doesn’t sleep in the same room as Ruth. “But he did move into another room and thats’s the way things stayed”(125). He not only stop being romantically involved with her, but he also

Ruth and James had different experiences when they attended school. Back in the days, when Ruth attended school in Suffolk, there was a split between “white folks’ school and a black folks’ school and a Jewish school,” (McBride 79). The school Ruth attended was not actually a real school, but instead a synagogue, where they did not get a good education compared to what other students were learning in school. In contrast, James “was the only black kid,” (McBride 89), attending in his classroom and he would get called many names because he was the only black kid.

We learn that Her husband never loved her and they haven’t been intimate in years. “When Ruth was naked and lying there as moist and crumbly as unbleached sugar, he bent to unlace her shoes. That was the final delight, for once he had undressed her feet, had peeled her stockings down over her ankles and toes, he entered her and ejaculated quickly. She liked it that way. So did he.

After a while of being married to Helen Ruth, Helen hated the idea of his fame and all the attention he was getting, so they sat down and talked bout adopting a little girl.

Page 41-I can infer that Ruth’s family is concerned about the woman who stopped to question Ruth earlier in the book. I think this because everytime Ruth tries to change the subject, they bring it back up again. Her family also asks for very specific details.

Right away in Ruth May’s first segment, she characterizes the differences between her relationship with her mother and her father. “She’s soft on her tummy and the bosom parts. When Father and Leah went away on the airplane we just needed to lay on down awhile,”(215). She seems much more comfortable when her father isn’t around her and her tone indicates how her relationship with him is and how she views him. Her tone is also very calm in this first segment.

The author uses Ruth as a vital character to show a deeper aspect of the context of wanting to feel needed by receiving her acquired attention. The idea of how dependent Ruth has become on others, especially Milkman, can be seen in the scene where the plants begin to wrap around and consume her. The author revealed the way Ruth was content with

Though the clones comprehend they will never retain normality, it does not prevent them from imagining ordinary lives, which readers recognize through the character of Ruth. Of each of the characters presented throughout the novel, Ruth, more than each of them, wishes to reconcile her identity. Similar to many other clones at the cottages, Ruth expresses her desire for an alternative fate by mimicking the human mannerisms of the characters they see on the television. Extensively, she takes that longing and extends it into her resolve to search for her ‘possible’ or her human equivalent. Though she expresses her knowledge that clones are modeled on “trash”, she maintains the dream that her possible works in an office rather than on the streets

In the book of Ruth there are many things that we can take from it. One of the most significant themes would be God’s providence. When Naomi loses her husband and sons she is very defeated and changings her name to mara, which means bitter. Ruth didn’t have to stay with Naomi but she showed true loyalty and because of that God provided for the both of them. Boaz was the kinsman redeemer and because of this he was able to save them. This shows us how in life we are faced with tough decisions and put in positions where we know we could go down the easier road, but God shows us that sometimes in life you have to go down the harder path. God is always there for you no matter what; he will never not be there for you to fall back on. So when you do decide to go to the hard road he will always provide for you just like he did for Ruth and Naomi by bringing Boaz into their lives and having him redeem the two of them.

Ruth's name changes are significant with respect to her identity and life, because altering her name was then she starts to find herself, changing and discovering growth, despite of her countless façades.
