I do not know if that is the ideal time to build a wall, but I was so happy to see my walls being made that I became very possessive of the time spent on them and wanted the four men to be building only my walls. I didn’t begrudge them lunchtime or time taken to smoke a cigarette, but why did they have to stop working when the day was at an end, and why did the day have to come to an end, for that matter? How I loved to watch those men work, especially the man named Jared Clawson. (Kincaid 177).
he nuckelavee is a horse-like demon from Orcadian mythology that combines equine and human elements. The name of this most horrible of all the demons of the Scottish islands may have the same root as Old Nick (the Devil). Though accounts describing the creature 's appearance are inconsistent, its abilities are well-documented. The nuckelavee 's breath can wilt crops and sicken livestock, and the creature has been held responsible for droughts and epidemics on land despite its being predominantly a sea-dweller. In common with many other sea monsters, it is unable to tolerate fresh water; therefore, those it is pursuing have only to cross a river or stream to be rid of it.

My first name Nathan ranks thirty-eighth in the United States and thirteenth in Canada, but that is low in relation to crowning my first name to be the most popular in France (Campbell). I would have certainly not known my name to be so popular in a different country. Since I was born, I have been alien to knowledge of how I came to have my name, how popular it was, and what it meant because of accepting it without any thought. I never thought about how much my name represents who I am and how much it affects me. I wanted to figure out where my name came from; therefore, I found primary research useful by interviewing my mother about family surname history.

Thesis: Ahab intentionally cultivated Israel into a kingdom which worshipped Baal and Asherah through his marriage to Jezebel, the building of altars for the false gods, as well as his treatment in regards to the prophets of the Lord and the Lord himself. As stated in 1 Kings 16:31, after he became king of Israel and took Jezebel (the daughter of Ethbaal) to be his wife, Ahab “went and served Baal and worshipped him.” Then, he went and built an altar for Baal in the “house of Baal” as well as established an Asherah (1 Kgs 16:32-33). Furthermore, during the reign of Ahab, Jezebel had the prophets of the Lord cut off (1 Kgs 18:4).

Did you know that cheer is almost as dangerous as football, but it’s not considered a sport?”When the activity began in the 19th century it was only for men. But it has evolved over the next hundred years. It is now a female-dominated activity forming the basis for the popular girls and women cheering in short skirts, and waving pom-poms.” (Devoe,2019) So cheerleading should be considered a sport because cheerleading is as dangerous as football, and is considered to be even harder.

The story we heard from the first reading from the first book of Kings, was about, on one hand, Naboth and his vineyard, and on the other, King Ahab and his wife, Jezebel. While its setting is from a very very long time ago, even before the time of Christ, the whole event seems remarkably current. And I am not just talking about recent movies where the two main characters oppose each other, like Batman v Superman, or Captain America versus Iron Man in Civil War. Our story today, Naboth versus King Ahab, is really about timeless things – of discontent and greed, and fighting for what is right and for one’s rights, of corruption, and the struggle against injustice and oppression. As such, there is plenty for us to consider, and to wonder about, and to reflect on.
