- ... truths that are revealed about how God sees our personal motives and actions through the characters of Jacob and Esau.

Jacob was the third link in God's plan of the patriarchs. In Gn 25:23, the Lord tells Jacob's mother, Rebekah, that she has twins. The Lord tells her that the younger one will overtake the second. The favoritism of the children shows weakness on the part of the parents that can contribute ...
- 3662: Francis of Assisi - " Brother Son Sister Moon"
- ... Sister Moon" Crisis and conversion: While Francis is sick and dreaming, he has images of nature which represent the happiness and peacefulness.

Francis' father is very materialistic and possessive. Francis' father did not honorably earn the money, he bought the ... thinks that the rich are misrepresenting Jesus because the rich are placing the poor behind themselves. Francis thinks that Jesus represents the poor as well as the rich… "all men are created equal". Francis can't help but to feel scared of lepers in the beginning. After all, being scared is a normal human trait. Being in a big, bulky, helmet must feel awkward. It feels like your being closed in ... equality was not assessed. The poor were dressed in rags and they were seated as far back as possible. On the other hand, the rich were elegantly dressed and were seated right up front. Christ's face was constructed in a rich expensive way. Christ's eyes "opened" and Francis understood that the mass should be celebrated equally, not held discretely. Francis screamed "no" to the idea itself that the ...
- 3663: Hamlet 2
- ... for instance Polonius daughter, Ophelia. . She, like others in the play, was manipulated by Claudius for his own purposes.

Polonius: At such a time I ll lose my daughter to him: Be you and I behind an arras then; Mark the encounter: if he love her not And be not form his reason ... of the most important elements of tragedy, according to Gage Canadian Dictionary, is a number of opportunities a character has to escape his or her fate.

- 3664: Catch-22 2
- ... photograph of an explosion than to destroy their target. Their colonels continually raise the number of missions they are required to fly before being sent home so that no one is ever sent home. Heller's satire targets a variety of bureaucrats, the military-industrial complex, and the business ethic and economic arrangements of American society. Humor rising out of the crazy logic of modern warfare hits squarely on the mark. (Hicks 32). The following passage demonstrates the humor and enlightens the reader about the book's title and the major cause of Yossarian's problems: Yossarian looked at him soberly and tried another approach. " Is Orr crazy?" "He sure is," Doc Daneeka said. "Can you ground him?" "I sure can. But first he has to ask me to. ...
- 3665: Grapes Of Wrath - Plot Questio
- ... for the mass migration to California? I think that the chief reasons for the mass migration to California where based on a few different reasons. The first reason was because everyone was poor. They didn't have enough money to have the most basic necessities in life. They would even go to such lengths as to steal a neighbors house. No body was happy living in Oklahoma. They all had such hard lives that no one had time to do what they wanted to do. It was farm from sun up to sun down. That is what everyone did, and they didn't even get that much compensation for all the devotion that they put into their work day, after day, after day. If I worked at something for twelve hours a day, and just made hardly enough ... living, I would get quite frustrated and not be very happy at all. Another reason that people moved to California was so they could move on to a better place. Living in Oklahoma, really wasn't all that good for the Joad's. They couldn't be very happy at what they had. They where a very proud family and wanted to get away and show everyone that they could ...
- 3666: Hamlet Father And Sons
- Hamlet was a man that looked up to his father throughout his life, during and after his father's death.

He wanted to be so much like him, but couldn't because of a couple of barriers that he had to deal with. He became a lot like his father in the end. King Hamlet must have been a good father for his son to ...
- 3667: Leading by Example: Drugs and the Presidency
- ... presidential candidate at any time in his life is grounds for ineligibility to the office. This issue has been raised once again as the time to elect a new president draws near. The Republican party’s leading candidate, George W. Bush, has dodged questions about his involvement with illegal substances such as marijuana and cocaine by stating that he hasn’t used them since at least 1974. Clearly, had he never used them he would have no trouble saying just that, but instead he is eluding the issue. Obviously this is the same as his saying ... in international news coverage. This is not a responsibility that should be taken lightly, after all, only forty-two men have had a chance to do it. Negative publicity created by something such as Bush’s drug use will be broadcast to other countries. This should concern you, the reader, because the president’s image is all some foreigners know of our country. For instance, consider the disgrace brought upon ...
- 3668: Crime And Punishment - Russian
- Fyodor Dostoevsky s novel, Crime and Punishment, is a reflection of life in St. Petersburg, Russia, during the rule of Czars Nicholas I and Alexander III. Though this topic only accounts for the reigns of Tsars Nicholas I and Alexander III, the reformative Alexander II also falls within the time period, 1800 s, so he will also be covered. Tsars Nicholas I and Alexander III showed no concern and elicited little progression for the condition of the poverty stricken in St. Petersburg. There are many parallels between the ... the sovereign, which was considered the indispensable foundation of the Russian state.

He also used regimentation, orderliness, neatness, and precision, an enormous effort to have everything at all times in its proper place. His regime became preeminently ...
- 3669: The Motown Sound
- The Motown Sound I can truly appreciate all forms that today's music has to offer, but I do not accept the influence Hip Hop has on our youth. It establishes a false sense of reality and does not constitute what life is really all about. Some call it the most depressing music they have ever heard, but I say that the Motown Sound is where it is. Today's Hip-Hop music consists mostly if lovemaking, sex slaving, and violence that is centered around one thing and one thing only-SEX. It doesn't take a whiz kid to understand that one of the main reasons for making music is to make money. Consequently, I feel that Hip-Hop lends to high teen pregnancies, date rape, violence, and ...
