1.) Prior to this week, I had not realized that Luke was a Gentile, nor that there is debate over whether he was a professional historian. Our class discussion of Luke led to this discovery for me. 2.) I learned this week that Revelations is written in a manner that is reminiscent of the books Daniel and Ezekiel, in that it mimics their style and symbolism.

The Gospel of Matthew: Like all of the gospels, the apostle Matthew portrays Jesus as the promised Messiah throughout the gospel of Matthew. The book provided a defense for non-believing Jews, proved that Jesus came for the Gentiles as well, and proved Jesus to be the Messiah. Throughout the book Matthew reveals Jesus to be the promised Messiah through the events that took place in his life, which fulfilled prophecies, and through his ministry, teachings, and miracles. In Matthew chapter 1, Matthew notes the genealogy of Christ.
“You may fool me, but you can’t fool God! (Fitzgerald 159)” George Wilson said this while staring at a billboard featuring a pair of eyes that are said to be a physical representation of God in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The Gospels tell us the story of Jesus from different perspectives, interests, and experiences. Each individual book was written for a specific reason and/or person. The Gospel of Matthew is the first book in The New Testament. It is the longest of the four Gospels, with 28 chapters.
Mary was born in Nazareth without original sin. She was to be wedded to Joseph of Bethlehem. An angel named Gabriel appeared to her saying she is to have a son and to name him Jesus. At this time her older cousin Elizabeth was also having a child named John. Mary gave birth to Jesus and lived a prayerful, faithful, and obedient life.
Luke begins with the infancy of John the Baptist in contrast Matthew doesn’t include John the Baptist’s infancy narrative at all. John the Baptist’s birth was a miracle as well as Jesus’ birth. According to Ian Peter Pells, the structure in Luke’s Gospel starts “chapters one and two with parallel description of the births of John the Baptist and Jesus” (Pells, 66). This could be a preview to Jesus’s birth, which would explain why Luke would want to include John the Baptist’s birth.
It is significant to us today, particularly if we are feeling lost, misplaced or astray. It shows us that we are always welcome in the Church to learn and love. Especially if we need to take some time away from friends, family and our busy social lives occasionally to reconnect with our God. Luke positions us in the passage as a sort of overseer of the events that unfold.
Z for Zachariah has a unique plot, but after researching the different meanings of green consistently resembles the stories roller coaster of emotions. In the beginning, the novel shows the valley as immune to radioactivity, and despite all destruction to surrounding places the valley continues to stay green and growing. Green represents nature, and because the valley is seen as the last life on earth. Additionally, green, especially its lighter shades, is referenced to sickness, which obviously connects to the radioactive poisoning that Loomis deals with during the beginning of the story.
