Courage is a necessity to overcome fears and achieve a desired goal. Fear is something that exists in all of us. There is no hero or any particular courageous figure that is without fear.

Though the Winnemucca family was initially friendly towards white settlers on their land, settlers soon became greedy and pushed the Paiutes towards Malheur reservation, and then to Yakima (Carpenter). The article “Sarah Winnemucca Goes to Washington” by Cari M. Carpenter recounts how the American government cheated the Paiutes out of land by separating their culture from their politics, which was stopped by Sarah Winnemucca’s congressional hearing.

Moby-Dick is Herman Melville’s masterpiece, a purposeful novel that acts both as a documentary of a sea voyage but also a philosophical allusion on life as a whole. Moby-Dick is far beyond its time in reference to its use of allusion within its text. In this novel, Herman Melville frequently uses biblical and mythological allusions. With these strategic allusions, the reader is able to begin to understand the topics of discussion within the book and is also exposed to the wisdom and potential knowledge

However, Haran died and left behind two children (Lot and Milkah). After some time, the Terah, Abraham, Sarah, and Lot started out from Ur so that they could settle in the land of Harran.

The book of Genesis manifests in the literary form of prose: biblical and historical narrative. Genesis is the first book of the Law and it is a book of beginnings, in more ways than one.

In the contexts of their own time periods, both Sarah, in Genesis, and Andromache, in the Iliad, have similar roles in that they are both confined to the duties within the household. Despite these societal constrictions, both women find ways to exert some power and influence within their designated roles in society, but the degree of power they have varies.

Many biblical stories were passed down to communicate who God is and how finite beings can have faith in something infinite. When biblical stories are taken out of context and interpreted literally, one misses the deeper meaning and purpose of the stories.
