King David's Life Analysis

In our poster, we are using five different techniques to communicate the idea that Elijah and David are two parts of one whole.

Elie Wiesel went through one of the hardest periods of time any man has ever encountered, and lived through to tell about it. The Holocaust was truly one of the most horrific events of discrimination, persecution, and genocide. Elie reveals his story through Eliezer in his novel Night. Some would expect a man who has gone through such terrible times to lack in perseverance and kindness. However, Wiesel displays his willpower, faith, morals, and bond to his father throughout this dark and eye-opening book.

On September 25th David was arrested for vandalizing property and for burglary. David’s case became so popular in North Carolina because during his trial the state did not provide him with a lawyer.

In Homer’s ancient work The Iliad, there are many forces of leadership at work, both strong models and poor examples. The two focal leaders in The Iliad are Agamemnon and Achilles. Both these characters exemplify leadership, but in drastically different ways. Agamemnon is immediately recognized as an authority because of his political standing; he is the leader in all technical meanings of the word. However, on Achilles part, it is his character and actions that earn him the recognition of a leader.

1. Read Documents 7 and 8 (from The Book of Exodus and The Book of Isaiah). What can we learn about Moses relationship between God and the Hebrews? How does the story told here create a sense of purpose and the and identity for the Hebrews? How does Isaiah modify or change any of these images? What is the role of the prophets by this time?

Back in the 1800’s being a slave was very hard. Do you think you would survive? Well there are many who survived slavery and there are some that took a stand and fought it. These people were leaders and influenced others to take a stand and give it there all in order to abolish slavery. Some of them did not succeed in there efforts, but they did influence the other slaves into taking risks and rebelling against slavery. One of the leaders was a blacksmith named Gabriel.

As the audience digs deeper and deeper into this fascinating journey to the past before christ or before the common era, the readers of Matthew begin to realize the significant changes and similarities in terms of leadership and values of the many high priests and the king of that time. After reading from the time of Onias III to Herod, the reader can already tell what kind of changes happened to the usual idea of a “high priest” and “king.” The good natured high priest is longer looked at the same way as they were originally. The same can be said about the king of that time as well. His qualifications as a king were not customary. Onias III to Herod was the beginning of the breakdown of stable, “legitimate,” patterns of leadership.

In chapter twenty three Hendrick Lectures us on how to search for things that are true to life. We the reader can compare to Biblical characters. Our emotions are similar to what the Biblical characters feel. Though the Biblical characters lived in a different generation we both still experience anger, sadness, and happiness. Furthermore, Hendrick examines the lives of Biblical characters through observations such as how did they feel, what problem was he facing, and what were their goals. The Biblical characters include, Moses, Noah, and David. Hendrick describes Moses as a role model but Moses failed God by losing his temper. God punished him by not allowing him to enter the promised land. Questions like how did this make Moses feel arise. Moses story should cause us to wonder how do we deal with our own sin. Next is Noah who Hendrick describes as a loyal servant of God. Noah acted on God's every command and is

In this world today there were and are many very good leaders, but for every good leader there was a bad leader. Three of the best leaders in this world were Martin Luther King Jr., Adolf Hitler, and Abraham Lincoln. However where there is good there is always a bad. A bad leader in this nation would be Richard Nixon.

Did you know that King entered college at the age 15? King, being a powerful orator, made people listen to him. Being a peaceful protester made people notice him. He was also a great leader, which gave him followers. His hard life made him aware of what was going on in the world. His legacy helped him become an important civil rights leader. Martin Luther King Jr. was the most important civil rights leader of his time.

In El Salvador during the 1970’s the campesinos, the indigent class, were treated as second class citizens by the military and elite classes. To find salivation these people flocked to the Catholic Church for wisdom, love, and protection. To comfort their parish the priests of El Salvador often preached to the people that God wanted them to endure suffering for an eternal reward. However, after continuous violence by the military, priests such as Fr. Rutilio grande and others began to preach a new aspect based on the book of Exodus (3-14). This new teaching was about the Israelites freedom from the bonds of slavery to a new life with a future in a Promised Land. The priests started teaching the events of the exodus, because it was very similar

Martin Luther King jr. is a well-known civil rights activist who is widely considered to be a leading figure in the fight for civil equality. Martin Luther king jr. was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1929 during a time when racial tensions were high. During the 1950’s Martin Luther had a huge role in the fight for equality for race-based issues. Through his active role in civil rights related matters, King played a huge role in ending segregation of African-American citizens in the South and other areas of the nation, as well as ultimately leading to the formation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and later the Voting Rights Act of 1965. King has received many awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize in 1965 for his work in the civil rights movement.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a strong, independent, and intelligent woman, especially of her time. During that time, women just aspired to become good supportive housewives for her husband and children. I think that Eleanor Roosevelt played a key role in breaking the limiting boundaries of the gender roles. She created her own leadership position that inspires others purely through persuasion. The reading said that she never actively sought out any official elected positions. I believe this is because she didn’t want to compromise her political views and beliefs, as the official elected representative for a group of constituents.

One of the ironic events that happened in David’s life was when his daughter Lucy gets raped by a group of men (). Even though both of this situations happen to have different circumstances this is still an ironic event in David’s life. David previously had a relationship with one of his former students named Melanie Isaacs who he technically rapes, because he forces himself into her house and she did not give him her consent before they had sex. Which is shown here, ”she is too surprised to resist the intruder who thrust himself upon her{…} no not now she says struggling”.(24-25) Since David had raped Melanie Isaac it was an unfortunate situation to have the same thing happen to his own daughter Lucy. Especially since David believed he did
