    In the passage “Noah Count and the Arkansas Ark” by Gary Blackwood; the Appleton family demonstrates to the son the that even without proper education there is still other kinds of education even though he doubted them. The reason he doubted them was that they never had a proper education that is taught at school. The father’s nickname was Noah because he was building a raft to escape the flood that was coming into Mississippi. The way the family was able to make the narrators view about their education change was due to that it was raining even though there weren’t any clouds, their early preparation, and that they found good land to wait out the flood and got back to their farms.

    Noah the Movie vs Scripture There are quite a few differences in the movie Noah than from the Bible. I didn’t like the movie as it wasn’t very accurate and is giving false depictions to anyone who doesn’t know scripture or what Genesis or the rest of the Bible says about these events. I am glad we read the Bible first and then watched the movie so we could really see the differences. In the movie, Noah was distant from God.

Also in Genesis, the text “The waters flooded the earth for a hundred
