Ruth was a heroism and a brave woman who was the greatgrand mother of King David, an ancestor of Jesus. She was so loyal that, when her husband died, she remained with mother-in-law (Naomi), even though she didn’t have to. The central message of her story is showing the importance of loyalty to fellow human beings, which would make the world a better place. The story of took place during the time of the Judges.
(Ch. 13, pg 107) She had gained respect for having raised her child as a well behaved young girl, and having provided for the both of them with an honest living as a seamstress, all the while being cut off from the rest of society. Hester was allowed to assimilate back into the community. John proctor was only given one chance to save himself and his wife, and that chance forced him to fall out of God’s good graces by lying. John Proctor fancied death over the guilt of being a sinner, and was content with knowing that his refusal to confess to witchcraft would preserve the good that he believed was still in him.

I admired Zehrunisa and how hardworking she was for her family, I looked down upon how abusive she was to Abdul because he did not deserve it. I found Asha’s strive for independence and power inspiring, but her means of obtaining it to be corruptive and dishonest. I really liked how kindhearted Manju was and how she took the time to teach the slum children, even though she really didn’t have to. She was also very kind to Meena and tried to be a very good friend to her because of her situation with her family. I was upset when Meena decided to take her own life because I feel someone could have helped her; but at the same time, if I was in her place, I probably would have done the same thing.

David it is also the same concept in that his main goal is to be faithful to God; to follow everything the all mighty and all powerful has planned for you.

Another point in David’s culture that is also similar to Rama’s is the kind of marital statues a man could have. “…Although women could not have more than one husband simultaneously (polyandry), men might have more than one wife at the same time”. David unlike Rama did have more than one wife in fact he had about six wives and children with most of them.
I would hope that I would put my own wishes aside and my comfort and focus on the patient at hand. During this time, I do believe that I would reflect on the fact that one day I too will die but it would not cause me to be sad. It is a fact that we are all born and we will all die. It is nothing to
I asked her why she decided to stay. She stated that how she was raised. She did not get married to get a divorce and she was willing to work it out.
He expects them to be only concerned about religion, but they surprise him and accept him for who he is. The two nuns genuinely cared for him, and did not only want to talk about religion like he expected them to. Along with his sister Phoebe, the nuns are some of the only people who accept him. After his encounter with them, Holden was happier than before, and said that he enjoyed talking to them.
She had no desire to hide herself, but did for the hope of a happy marriage. It wasn’t until after Jody’s death that Janie let out her hair which Jody commander her to do.

The act of letting her hair down shows how Janie managed to break free from the bands of conformity and stand, on her own, as her true
It was at this point when she had started seeing Jody, for whom she had felt love. However, as the years went by, Jody had repeatedly suppressed Janie’s true self, although unknowingly. Due to this, Janie had bottled up her feelings of resentment despite Jody even lashing out at her on several occasions. She had kept those emotions pent up inside her not because she was scared of Jody but as a sign of strength to be able to persevere under such circumstances. The situation had worsened between them as years went by, and Jody had even passed away due to an illness.

After a while they became best friends and he told her about his secret and he was scared to tell but he could trust her. I was happy that bobby told Alicia because he didn’t have to go through all of that alone. Even though Bobby has his parents with him he still felt like he was alone but when Alicia joined it felt like he wasn’t alone cause she is around his age. I would want my friend to know about it if I was invisible because they are closer to you in age.
