Alexander Falconbridge served as a surgeon on the ships that transported slaves through the middle passage. He managed to only make four voyages between 1780 and 1787 due to the harsh circumstances he was witnessing, which ultimately led him to write An Account of the Middle Passage. The Middle Passage was the hardest and most dangerous part of the voyage for any slave transported out of Africa. The article carefully describes the strenuous conditions the slaves were in while being in the ships. An analysis of Alexander Falconbridge’s An Account of the Middle Passage reveals how this surgeon’s perspective aided the progression of the abolition movement by showcasing a new perspective of the Middle Passage, and how his purpose was to inform the general public on how dreadful these

There are numerous chapters that we have covered in the Harper Collins Study Bible that spark my interest but my mind keeps traveling back to the book of Ruth. Although the book of Ruth only contains four chapters, which all flow together equally, chapter 3 intrigued me more than the rest. The chapter opens with Naomi explaining how she needs to find security for Ruth, her daughter-in-law. Naomi begins to speak about her closest relative Boaz and persuades Ruth to “…wash and anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes…”
Astonished by his findings, the naval officer stood quietly as the boys finally got control of themselves. Curious as he was, the officer found it best to refrain from too many questions after just witnessing the boy's obvious unstable states. All of the boys scrambled onto the cruiser while most of their heads hung down as if they were too heavy to lift. Ralph imagined his life before the island, telling himself he should be relieved that they were rescued, but he could not help but worry about the new life ahead of him. Ralph observed each of the boys surrounding him, wondering if they were nervous to go home like him.
Becoming an excellent leader proves to be more difficult than it sounds. Achieving what would be considered, “exemplary leadership,” takes time. One man from Genesis 37 of the Bible, Joseph, shows three great examples of what a leader should look like. Another fictional man, Telemachus, from The Odyssey, shows similar qualities during his own life. Joseph’s leadership is built upon his character, commitment, and competence, and these same three qualities are seen in Telemachus.

In the book Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison, each character is addressed by a special nickname that resonates with each person's life and their significance to the novel. The main character named Macon III or better known as ,Milkman, received his name from breastfeeding for a long period of time. The significance of being known as milkman extends past the literal meaning behind its creation further setting up his character in a way that allows readers to further understand his role in the book. Toni Morrison never fully addresses Milkman as Macon III only mentioning that his name is Macon. The name milkman was introduced very early on in the book.
This infuriates the older brother who believes he has been a righteous son. His father replies, “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.” Christ teaches that no matter the sin, those that believe in Him and have true repentance may always return to the
Your attitude… “And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.” Matthew 25:15 (AKJV). Productivity is one of those subjects that fascinates economists and bores, or mystifies, almost everyone else. In Matthews 25 there is a wonderful story about productivity. Sometimes, what seems to be inability or a lack of productivity simply boils down to our attitude.
He keeps his word to do so. “By my faith, answered Arthur, ‘I swear to give you what so ever
This shows that Mukhtar and his men do not see the need to take the lives of any more soldiers than need be. However, the death of the general in the convoy sparked an opportunity for the Italians to overtake a city out of revenge for this one man. Mukhtar and his men hold themselves in a higher calling as to make a point by claiming the least amount of lives. Another situation that raised was when the Italians attempted to bribe Mukhtar to leave the country and they would offer him safe passage to Egypt.
The stories about Joseph differ from other patriarchal stories in several ways. These stories are based in wisdom. They portray good over evil. There is a message that the little guy can overcome obstacles and become successful using wisdom (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). The way God communicates with Joseph is also different.
Biblical Symbolism in Jacob’s Ladder: A Potential Origin Story Although it may not have been intended, the title of Fitzgerald’s short story, Jacob’s Ladder suggests and invites biblical symbolism. In the Book of Genesis, the biblical Patriarch, Jacob, dreamt of a ladder that connects Earth to the gate of Heaven. On his way toward Haran, Jacob rested on a stone where “he dreamed, and behold, there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven” (Genesis 28: 10-19).
When the grandmother reaches out to touch The Misfit in her "moment of grace" and says to him, “Why you’re one of my babies. You’re one of my own children!” (366). She seems to be filled with love and understanding towards him. Her moment of grace allows her to see the Misfit as a fellow human being in pain and feels obligated to love him, just like the Bible asks you to: “love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.”
