Comparing the Bible and Margaret Laurence's The Stone Angel: An Examination of Archetypal References Often times great novels and plays allude to religion, to mythology, or to other literary works for dramatic purposes. Shakespearean plays are perfect examples. Allusions help the reader or spectator better understand, through visualization, a character or an event in a novel.

A Review of Journey Through the Old Testament The story of this book takes place at a time in biblical history, approximately 4000 B.C. to 400 B.C. in an area we would commonly refer to as the Middle East. In the beginning of this book we are told about God creating all that is. The primary focus of the first chapter, is created beings called angels.

obedience to God allow him to experience the Love of God by trusting God at his word. When God asked Abraham to take Isaac his son, Genesis 22:2 (NKJV) ‘Then he said, “Take now your son your only son Isaac, whom you love and go to the land Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.”’ .

Abraham stands for devotion, justice, compassion, faith, tact, and personal integrity. He is also seen as cunning, humorous, and pragmatic throughout the story. Abram is a man looking for his faith, and God asks Abram to leave his land and kinship to a land which God will show him. In exchange for Abram's faith and compliance, God will make

Civil disobedience is a nonviolent opposition to a law through refusal to comply with it, on grounds of conscience. I understand why somebody might want to oppose the law. Somebody might have their own beliefs on what is right and wrong and they wouldn’t know when they're disobeying.

One of the inherent conflicts in the story of Joseph is the tension between Joseph and his brothers. The tension between them is caused by both Jacob and Joseph. First, Jacob shows favoritism toward Joseph, because he is the son of his favorite wife Rachel. Second, Joseph brings back bad reports when he is out pasturing with his brothers.
