For my essay I will be analyzing the similarities  and differences between the interpretations of  Noah the film: Noah (Paramount Pictures and Regency Enterprises, 2014) and the bible story. Writer-director Darren Aronofsky, was brought up with a Jewish education and a deep fascination in the story of Noah 's ark it took him over 15 years to get the film afloat.

In the Book of Genesis the power of God is shown throughout many stories of Genesis from God creating the world to God almost destroying it as well. For example some stories where God shows his power are the story of creation,the Flood, Sodom & Gomorah, barren women, angels sent, and Tower of Babel destroyed. The prime examples of God using his power in the Book of Genesis are the barren woman, story of creation The barren women story showed how God can use his powers to help people, for good.

The story of Noah was very interesting, he went through a lot. God chose him for a very important task and really trusted him. God needed to prove a point and start over, so he chose Noah to help him fulfill that. Noah was a hard worker and a man after Godś own heart. He built a great ark to save his family, and the animals, and much more. In this paper, we will learn of Noah, a man of God, the man who built the ark. Why did God choose Noah?

Prior to the Atlantic Slave trade, African way of life was well developed and prosperous in all aspects including their political, economic, cultural, and societal organizations. According to the documentary “King and City” the political structure in Africa included royal officials, royal slaves, and noblemen, along with a constitutional monarchy and a judicial system. The judicial system was made up of two courts, the court of first instance and the court of appeal directly to the king also known

The Poisonwood Bible, one of the most significant allusions refers to the Curse of Ham story in the Bible. Essentially, the prophet Noah became intoxicated and when one of his sons, Ham, found him, began laughing as he called his brothers, Shem and Japheth to cover up their father so they would not have to see his nakedness. Surprisingly, when Noah woke up, he was extremely angry when he found out that Ham has mocked his nudity, so he cursed Ham’s youngest son Caanan. This bible verse has been commonly

never brought up again, meaning that they never play that important of a role. The movie and the Biblical story also differ in which of Noah’s sons takes a wife with them onto the ark. In the movie, only Shem has a wife (Ila) and his brothers Ham and Japheth don’t have wives. This is another detail left out of the movie, which leads to a series of events that end similarly to the Biblical story, but also differ in a few ways. At its core, the Noah is similar to the source material, but in relation to

cursed Canaan the son of Ham “Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers. Praise be to the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend Japheth’s territory; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave of Japheth” (Genesis 9:25-27). The Africans were thought to be descendants of Canaan and were supposed to be “servants of servants” (Morrison, 1980). In Larry R. Morrison’s article it stated “Jews would be exterminated as a

Another biblical justification of slavery that I have heard is the account of Noah and his sons. When Noah became drunk and was naked, instead of covering his nakedness, Ham one is his sons laughed at him. It was his two other brothers Shem and Japheth who sympathized with their father by covering his nakedness. When Noah became sober and heard what happen, he cursed Ham, and the curse was that his brothers will rule over him. Africans (descendants of Ham) became the cursed nation while Europe

First day walking into AAF 201, I had an idea of what I intended to take away from the course, but I wasn't completely convinced of exactly what I was going to walk away with. Then I sat in a couple sessions, instantly I knew I was in for an intellectual ride that would change my perspective of who I was and the worth of my complexion. My intellectual upbringing in comparison with others had set me up to condemn the notion of my existence as a young black scholar. As I previously stated in my
