His uncles were furious because they wanted to make this fire themselves. They stormed the hill but Quetzalcoatl killed and sacrificed them. Not only are the Mimixcoas guilty for having assassinated their brother, but we also find again a passage from animal to human sacrifice. The uncles fancy that Quetzalcoatl will offer small animals while they would sacrifice bigger game, but after all it is Quetzalcoatl who makes the most precious offering: his own uncles instead of animals.” (Graulich 2000:
However, the Bible also gives us examples of people who put to death their worldly passions and pursue righteousness through the discipline of self-control.

On one particular outing of Saul and his men who were searching to kill David there arose a certain opportunity for David to kill Saul. Saul was in cave and was very vulnerable while David was also deeper inside the cave.

A clear sign of the gangs influence on Johnny was when he decided to prevent the Soc’s from drowning Ponyboy and defending himself instead of letting the Socs beat them up and have them possibly drown Ponyboy. More specifically, after finally fighting back and killing Bob, he says to Ponyboy “‘I killed him’ he said slowly. ‘I killed that boy”’(Hinton 56). Here the author is explaining how shocked Johnny was once he killed the Soc.

In “How stories Came to earth” the sky-god is willing to hand over the reward because Anansi followed through with the deal and captured all the animals. In “Coyote Steals Fire” although thunder knew Coyote cheated, he still reacted violently and tried to kill him. The third difference is the way in which the tricksters go about achieving their goals. In “How Stories Came To earth” Anansi uses his wife's ideas to trap the animals and bring them to the sky-god.

King David 's crime was that he killed Uriah the Hittie with the sword of the Ammonites and took his wife to be his. I believe that he told King David a story about lambs instead of simply accusing him because he wanted to see if he would have some sentimental feelings. Further, because of this, King David saw that the rich man did the wrong thing and he believed that the rich man should be punished for his crime, If Nathan accused him right away King David would have never listen to him and would punished nathan for accusing a King of
According to Donald Guthrie (1970) “With deep disturbance of spirit He announced that the betrayer was in the room with them. Jesus shows His feelings by offering to Judas the portion of honor” (p. 128). There is no doubt in my mind that the Sanhedrin Council led by Caiaphas, Chief Priest, lacked the greatest sense of conviction about what is just because in his heart was evil and only the death of Christ. Caiaphas wanted Jesus dead and plotted to have Jesus killed.
This was such a tragic time in history and we should all be thankful that our world isn 't like this. The Concentration Camps were made because Hitler hated the jews and wanted to kill all and they were kind of brainwashing them to tell them it is a wonderful place to live. When they were making the camps the Nazis would go around just shooting people for no reason. So Hitler and the Nazis captured the majority of the Jews and put them into these camps saying they should be here and that they deserve to died and it is all their fault.
