The Book of David discusses how preserving families in some cases can cost the lives of innocent children. Richard J. Gelles was once a prominent defender of family preservation and believed that keeping troubled families together was what was best for the child. However, he changed his mind after he reviewed the tragic case of David Edwards, who was an infant killed by his mother after falling through the gaps of the child welfare system. David had an older sister who was taken from their home after obtaining juries leading to hospitalization. She was later removed from her parents care after they pleaded guilty to child neglect. A month after David’s birth, Mr. and Mrs. Edwards voluntarily terminated their parental rights and a year later, David was killed. Even with the red flags that the Edwards exhibited with the neglect of Marie, did not prompt social workers to monitor the welfare of David. The case of David completely transformed Gelles’s opinion of family preservation and how our child welfare system is fundamentally flawed and has to be changed so other children do not end up like David. He believes that David’s death could have been prevented and that the idea of family preservation should not be applied to every abuse case. Gelles claims that the child welfare system needs to be reformed and that family preservation does not need to be as strictly reinforced to all cases of child abuse or neglect. Throughout the book, Gelles
In Book Twelve, Odysseus faced a situation when he had to choose between losing six men to Scylla, a six-headed monster, or losing the whole ship and crew to Charybdis, a sea-monster who swallows huge amounts of water and spits the water out three times a day. The path through the cliffs was too narrow, and attempt to avoid one monster would result in facing the other one. Although goddess Circe forecasted the tragedy, she said Odysseus had to decide it himself, and Odysseus chose to pass through Scylla. While crossing, Odysseus armed to fight but failed and stood helplessly watching six of his shipmates being swallowed and digested by Scylla. This part of Odysseus’ journey represents a dilemma when no matter which road Odysseus chose, he would lose something. The only thing Odysseus could work on was to making sure the losses were as negligible as possible, and like Circe said, “Better to mourn six men than lose them all, and the ship, too.”

The book of Hebrews was written by a Christian scholar and not by one of the Gospels. I knew that many authors made up the New Testament but I did not know scholars wrote some books a well. Hebrews writer was someone who linked the Hebrew Bible along with Greek philosophy. The writer never identifies himself but his views on the end times were very strong. He assumes that there is an existence of two parallel worlds: the eternal and the perfect realm of spirits. This is something that I have never heard before. This writer is the only person to speak of Jesus as the mediator between God and humanity. He has so much insight on what was happening or what was to happen but we do not know who this person was. Hebrew is written very differently and some of the
