With the response, he then compared it to the prize number, 284, he received from one of the contests he won and said they are amicable numbers. That is because 220 and 284 have the sum of the factors who are equal to each other. Due to this conversation, it created a stronger relationship between both characters through the curiosity of the housekeeper who decided to look for more “amicable numbers” on her own. As she was trying to find more examples of amicable numbers, she found it really hard because she did not know that amicable numbers could be found between four digit numbers like 1,184 and 1,210. She even had her own son who helped her find the sum of the factors she found. From that moment, the Professor met her son and named him “Root” creating a good relationship between him and her son who was embraced by the

Robert’s cultural hero side is brought out by his willingness to enlist in the army and fight for his country.

One big risk he takes as a creator is when he decides to shoot the German soldier with a sniper rifle.

In the novel An Ungodly child by Rachel green, the Devil’s personality and appearance is seen to be different as Green imbibes satire into biblical stories. The word Satan has been used more as an identifying noun than a title in recent times. Christians generally recognize Satan as an adversary, an opponent, or an accuser. However, many of the norms surrounding the description of his character are not present in this novel. The story of the red ugly guy with horns, a tail, red fiery eyes and a trident becomes a handsome ebony black man dressed in a “conservative business suit and…Cuban-heeled boots” (Green 285). This novel does not completely support the traditional beliefs of the Devil which is that he kills, steals and destroys. Historical conceptions of Satan are different from the novel because the novel implies that all supernatural creatures are not completely holy or completely evil but are subject to free will and the ability to choose between good and evil.

Unfortunately for them the bottom line was the death count. Being on the top was better than the bottom, but not by much. They were treated like animals and had to work for days with no pay. If these people did not work they were slowly slid into the bottom line.

Christ does not encourage disobedience to the law but wants everyone to have a choice. When people fall into evil He is there to help them get back up. The devil is like Simon Bar Sinister. He does not care about freedom of choice and would love the whole world to go

This is a very cute book with a really big concept that no mater what someone looks like or acts like they can still do anything everyone else can. It is a very fun read considering the book is set in a poem sort of tone. It is also very fun and has cute and diverse pictures. I think this book should be used in an older classroom because of the advanced concept. In the book it doesn't tell you what child is the main caricature and gives a vaig idea about who the book is about. It would be a good book for 5-10 year olds. I feel like they would be able to grasp the concept that since you don't know exactly who the main caricature is it makes the concept that everyone is the same stronger.
