Esther

Mordecai and Esther’s clothing are hanging on a wire through the living room. While, a large pile of plates are drying up in the kitchen. AT RISE: Esther is curled up in the couch. She is looking at the newspaper to stay updated with the world. On a closer inspection of the newspaper, we see some important news about the king. Even though, Esther hasn’t read that part, we

In addition, Esther wanted to be accepted as who she was, she never wanted to die, she needed help. Correspondingly, in this novel there were a number of different things that may have made her feel worthless, abnormal, or morose. To carry on, while Esther was considering suicide she also thought to herself, “I knew catholics thought killing yourself was an awful sin. But perhaps, if this was so, they might have a good way to persuade me out of it.” (p.164). Esther knew she was suicidal and at some

The Jews and Queen Esther did not have a choice of circumstance. However, free will gave Queen Esther the ability to choose her reaction. Free will is also evident in the lives of Adam and Eve when they chose to disobey God in their circumstance. Their choice of behavior brought evil into the world. When evil

examples of strong and capable leaders. One of these leaders is Esther. Esther was a very cleaver leader who used the cultural expectations as the queen and Machiavellian leadership principles to increase her power in society. During the Old Testament time period, both within Israel and the surrounding cultures, the queen held little to no power. Her purpose was to serve the king and ensure there was a successor to the throne. When Esther became to queen to King Ahasuerus, this was what was expected

stories, most are not. Either they are uninterested or do not take the time to research all the information. Let’s go in-depth of the story of Esther and see if we get better your knowledge of this intriguing story. The part discussed in this paper is the very beginning; the conflict between Vashti and King Xerxes. The passage I am referring two is, Esther chapter one verses one through 22. This story always gets me thinking. I understand and agree with what Vashti did, but at the same time I agree

Esther 4:10-14 The book of Esther may not mention the name of God, but His existence is deafening. Esther put her life in grave danger by going to the King, but she first placed her trust in God. Both her and God’s beloved people were saved because of this courage. This enchanting story of Esther is a story of deliverance. God utilizes Esther to demonstrate His power and the purpose He had for His people. Under no circumstance can a human change what God already has planned. His work will be done

To begin with, the text, “Flowers for Algernon,” by Daniel Keys, shows an abundant amount of examples when it comes to asking others for guidance-- or lack thereof. The story follows a man named Charlie, a mentally impaired 37-year old who has decided to undergo a newly tested surgery, performed by two neurosurgeons, Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur, that will theoretically increase his intelligence. The surgery has already been tested on other animals, like Algernon the mouse. Although the surgery initially

a hero is, many people think about a person who is brave, an ideal and strong, but for me a hero is someone who saves other people, and Esther is an example of that heroine. The Jewish festival of Purim can be compared to Halloween; this holiday was an inspiration of Esther; making her the only woman who approved the Jewish religious tradition. The book of Esther is a unique book because there is no direct mention of God, but it does not mean that God has no sovereignty in Esther’s life, this is what

One woman that particularly stands out is Esther; who is a brave, intelligent and unique, young girl who risks her life to save her people from annihilation by a spiteful and selfish Haman, who has a personal agenda. The Bible demonstrates how Esther evolves from an ordinary submissive young girl to an influential queen who changed the destiny of the Jewish people. After Esther becomes queen, the king makes a law that everyone must bow down to Haman, but Mordecai did not bow down to him. When Mordecai
