Sarah Grimké

“Oh no, I know who you are talking about, Sophia Johnson, right?” “No,” I said, blinking my eyes and smiling, my tone etched with irritation, “I’m pretty sure it’s Sarah Johnson, I believe she had brown curly hair? Gees did nobody remember me? Remember Sarah Johnson! “Oh, you mean the girl with brown curly hair, kind of smelled like cheese?” What? No! Lairs! I always showered every morning! My shampoo scent was green apples! I always used deodorant! I didn’t even have cheese in my lunch!” “Oh wait

Panel number 4 of Ghiberti’s Gates of Paradise on the Baptistery de San Giovanni depicts Abraham and Isaac. On this panel the story of Abraham and Isaac is told. As is seen by just glancing at the panel, there seems to be a man up on a mountain, about to strike down on a man who is bent over on his knees. There is also an angel right above them. Below the mountain, there are two men having a conversation in a lounged position, and one of their donkeys is standing nearby. On the other side, there

Yishamel and Sarah and Yitzchak. Avraham and Hagar had Yishmael while Sarah was still barren. Finally, towards the end of their lives, they had Yitzchak. The pasuk there tells us that after that, "Sarah saw that the son of Hagar (Yishmael), the Egyptian, that she had born to Avraham, was mocking. She said to Avraham, 'Drive out this slave-woman and her son, for the son of this slave-woman will not inherit with my son, with Yitzchok.' This thing was very wrong in the eyes of Avraham..." Sarah doesn’t want

In biblical times, there lived a man named Abraham and his beloved wife Sarah, who prayed to God every day for the gift of a child. Sarah, however, remained barren and suggested Abraham sleep with his servant Haggar as a surrogate. Haggar did bare a child named Ishmael, but Sarah grew to despise Haggar and her child for gifting Abraham with what she could not. As time past, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, the miracle child, and God decided Isaac would receive his covenant and subsequently Ishmael and

Sarah, the Evil Mistress Although Hagar flaunts her pregnancy with Abraham in the face of Sarah who is barren, Sarah is ultimately responsible for generating trouble in Abraham’s household. Through Sarah’s decision to give Hagar to Abraham, Sarah’s jealousy and anger towards Hagar’s reaction to conception, and also Sarah’s harsh treatment of Hagar, we are able to understand why Sarah is truly the one accountable for the negative circumstances throughout her relationship with Hagar. Initially

In verse nine, I observe that the Lord’s messenger asks Hagar to return to a life of servitude despite ill treatment from Sarai. I now question why the Lord might want Hagar to endure this mistreatment, but in verse ten the messenger says that Hagar will be rewarded and given so many children that they cannot be counted. 1 Peter 2:18 may offer some insight as to why God asks Hagar to return to her master, it says, “Household slaves, submit by accepting the authority of your masters with all respect

into the stories of broken women in the bible, we learn that only God can restore us and mend our brokenness. Hagar was an Egyptian girl who was a slave to Abram’s wife Sarah. After God had appeared to Abram and promised him a son, many years went by and he and Sarah still had no baby. In her impatience and desperation, Sarah took matters into her own hands and gave her maid Hagar to her husband, saying, “Go sleep with my slave; perhaps I can build a family through her”. Abram did as he was told

Just like Las Casas, Angelina Grimke and her sister Sarah are two very famous women that created history together. While Bartolome De Las Casas changed the Latin Community forever, these sisters changed the way Anti-Slavery was protested. They not only wanted to free the enslaved, but they wanted to end discrimination throughout the United States. The Grimke sisters were not just famous for their avocation against slavery, they were also among the first abolitionists to acknowledge the importance

with the song “Angel” playing in the background. While this is going on the narrator of the commercial (Sarah McLachlen) is softly talking about the suffering and abuse that these unfortunate animals go through. Through many different rhetorical techniques the viewers are many times brought to tears after watching this

SNL and Gendered Politics “Here you have this serious presidential campaign, and all of us had to go on these comedy shows like Saturday Night Live, because that was the only way we could have more than a soundbite and reach a large audience, ” Ralph Nader said in an interview regarding his 2000 bid for president. A 2004 study done by Pew research found that 20% of Americans between the ages of 18 to 24 regularly get their news from late night television shows, like Saturday Night Live. With satirical
