Scott had also just moved to Nevada from Texas so everything seemed wrong on how the game is played and how people react to him on the team. When he first arrived, the team was desperate on someone to carry the team to at least rank 40. No way Scott could

Children are often taught the story of David and Goliath at a young age. It is a story of a young shepherd boy who defeats a mighty warrior using only smooth stones and his sling shot. Through this story, children are taught that anything is possible if they trust in God. David is the clear underdog in this story because the Israelites did not have faith in him.

The story “David vs. Goliath” was based on a real game that I played in. This game was a historic event in the history of Groton- Dunstable basketball history as it was the first win ever at Marlborough high school. Something even the almighty Keith Woods failed to accomplish. But, the story as potraided is exaggerated and warped. For me, this game was like any other. I had to guard someone who was taller and stronger than me. This has been how it has been all my career, so I was not truly nervous

In the poem “David and Goliath” And “Casey at Bat” they have things similar and things different. One of the similarities is they both think that they can do it, in which one does and one does not. The reason I know this is, in the story “David and Goliath” David says this to Goliath “You’ve come out to fight me with a sword and a spear and a dagger.

The general idea of David and Goliath is how the weak or the underdog can overcome obstacles and defeat the much stronger opponent. In the original David and Goliath, David was part of the Israeli army while Goliath was part of the Philistine army. Goliath was a very tall, strong and arrogant soldier.

Many battles, wars, and competitions, such as athletic events, have an underdog and a favored side. The underdog is typically known for losing, but that is not always the outcome. In the Revolutionary War, America were the underdogs against a well-trained, British army with more soldiers and equipment. Although they were the underdogs, they never backed down, and ended up earning our country’s independence. Another great example of the underdogs coming out on top is during sports, or athletic competitions

The book of 1 Samuel commences with a woman named Hannah (whom the Lord had made barren) pleading to the Lord for a son. Eli the high priest, hears Hannah, and tells her the Lord will grant her petition. Hannah went away and she conceived a boy named Samuel.

Nonetheless, the book has a profound message the author intends to convey to its readers which this study will uncover. Thus, the objective of this exposition paper is to understand Jonah
