Essays on Samuel

The story of Samuel, the thirteenth judge in ancient Israel, overlaps with that of some of ancient Israel’s most famous and first kings: Saul, David and Solomon. The reason is that Samuel was the last of the judges-rulers who governed ancient Israel before the era of the Kings began. Some of the Bible’s most popular narratives revolve around him: including that of Eli and his own mother Hannah. Samuel’s father, Elkanah, had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Hannah was childless and apparently incapable of bearing, whilst Peninnah had children. Elkanah used to go to offer sacrifices ...

1 Samuel is one of the oldest documented writings and it belongs thematically with 2 Samuel. In some editions they are known as first two Books of the Kingdoms, thus leaving 1 and 2 Kingdoms as third and fourth books in this sequence. This is a very logical connection, since all the four books describe chronological events of the years preceding and following the establishment of the Jewish kingdom as an institution. Functionally 1 Samuel is a book of the Prophets (the other two being Law and Writings). This fact tells us that 1 Samuel is not only a historical book, describing ...

Care giving for a patient living with dementia

Majority of patients suffering from dementia are cared for in community settings either by their spouse, children or significant others. Care giving has its merits and demerits on both the persons with dementia and on the caregivers. Whilst in some few cultures it is viewed in positive light and as something that brings satisfaction for the caregivers, care giving especially for the elderly is a strenuous responsibility and families which are involved in care giving feel this strain. Nevertheless, members who participate in giving care to those who are terminally ill must not let their burn out affect the quality ...

THE EARLY GOVERNMENT OF ISRAEL

The Early Government of Israel The story of Samuel ushers the account of the condition of the government of Israel. In 1 Samuel, God takes His covenant people away from the failing theocratic administration under the tribal judges and into theocratic administration under united monarchy. It is important to realize in the account of Samuel and the major kings of Israel (namely Saul, David, and Solomon) that God is fully aware of what He is doing, even if His response seems to be manipulated by or dependent upon the people of Israel. Despite the mistakes of the nation ...

It is a testament to the power of propaganda that the events of March 5, 1770 were widely accepted as a massacre which remained the very symbol of British tyranny for 200 years. The skillful manipulation of facts is a hallmark of propaganda, and the men who exploited the circumstances surrounding the killing of five Americans created an atrocity that has resonated throughout American history down to the present day. As the hotbed of revolutionary fervor in the colonies, Boston was perhaps the only place where such propaganda could have taken hold; the only city from which it could have spread so ...

1 Samuel 8:7 “And the Lord told him: ‘Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected Me as their king.’” (The Holy Bible, New International Version) Human Condition: In these days, the people of Israel asked for a king to rule over them. In the previous chapter, it is seen that there is a genuine turning to God after twenty years (1 Samuel 7:2). The idols were destroyed, and, with Samuel as judge over Israel, the people were led into repentance and cleansing. At the end ...

Samuel Fosso is a contemporary Cameroonian photographer who uses himself as both the subject and the model for all of his photographs. A large portion of his photographs are self-portraits which represent various cultural clichés of either Americanism exported around the world, or parodies of popular culture and its accoutrements. Most of his photographs are black and white, which makes the few that have been produced in color all the more glaring in their commentary on their subject. His two most famous series, African Spirits and Autoportraits, represent political and cultural commentary on the modern world, particularly as portrayed ...

During the time of Samuel, why did the people of Israel desire a king?

The people of Israel demanded a king during this time due to several reasons. The age of Samuel contributed greatly to the demand of a king by the Israelites. Samuel was old enough that he could no longer led the Israelites. The Israelites, therefore, needed someone strong to take over Samuel in leading Israel. The other reason why the people of Israel demanded for a king was due to the fact that the sons of Samuel were very corrupt and could not provide services in a just and fair manner to the people of Israel. The people of Israel were, therefore, in need of a ...

Introduction

Israelites used to live under the rule of judges before the establishment of united monarchy. Abimelech rule the Israelites but was later killed .As a result, Israelites tribes united to form a stronger kingdom that could defend itself against foreign enemies. The reason that motivated the idea of forming a monarchial system of rule was that the philistines conquered them and took away the ark of covenant. Other reasons include increased population growth and inadequate food. Moreover, the tribes lacked unity and the leadership of judges was inconsistent. (Dick, 2008). The judges could not rule the tribes uniformly. The wicked behavior of ...

Bible Interpretation Using Various Types of Critical Disciplines

Introducing the old Testament The Bible can be interpreted using various types of critical disciplines. This is done through interpretation and explanation that is critical of text especially texts of religion. In ancient times the term exegesis, which is the critical expansion and understanding of the religious text, was the primary interpretation of the Bible. Therefore, “Biblical exegesis” is applied in a wider context in the religious text. Exegesis is a combination of a broader perspectives that are critical and disciplines. When we focus on biblical textual criticism, the inquiry of the history and originality of the text, sometimes exegesis it ...

In the 19th century, the labor system in the US made significant changes that would lead to empowerment of workers. These changes were made due to the bad state of the labor system, such as low wages, long hours of work, and unsanitary working place. There were many organizations and labor unions that were created to fulfill the dreams of creating a better system for laborers. Many attempts failed, but still, the passion to reach the ultimate goal never faltered. Finally, a nationwide federation, the American Federation of Labor (AFL), became the key to the declaration of a better labor system (Yellowitz). ...

In 1979 a trilogy of novels by American writer Jim Harrison was released. ‘Revenge’, ‘The man who gave up his name’ and ‘Legends of the fall’ are all chained by the common theme of revenge. However, ‘Legends of the fall’ turned out to be the most striking, the most emotionally powerful novel, which later became the basis for the movie of the same name. Being the shortest one of the whole trilogy, it, nevertheless, drew the story of the emotional development of a person, who became the prisoner of the epoch and had to act under the influence of tragic events. ...

The Romantic Period implies that the period reflects a time of whirlwind and old-fashioned romance. But, it does not. The misconception of the period is common and anyone can make such errors about the true meaning of the Romanticism. The Romantic Era in literature is the period that saw many writers placing fundamental significance on the emotions and on the individual. While the Romantic period lasted for approximately thirty years, it revolutionized the way individuals see literature today. Literary critics points to romanticism as the principal artistic movement in the latter part of the 1700s. The influence of the era ...

Q. 1. The first strategy Thomas Hutchinson or Samuel Adams likely used to develop and improve their thinking before taking a stand and acting on their beliefs is the skill of recognizing and assessing a problem through observation. For example, before Samuel Thomas opposed the Stamp Act, he actually knew the source and effects of the Act to him as a local writer. The second strategy they possibly might have used is the skill of laying a possible scheme, analyzing and interpreting possible implications of their actions. For example, the actions of Samuel Thomas and other radicals of preventing the unloading of the ...

Part IV Question

Colonization of America by the European countries began in the late 15th century. The colonization was mostly motivated by the Europe desire to acquire wealth. The European colonialists justified their move by stating that they wanted to civilize indigenous people. The famous phrase “God, Gold and Glory” incredibly summarizes the colonialists’ motives. Explorers, Amerigo Vespucci, Diego Alverez Chanca, Hernando Cortes, and Samuel de Champlain spoke on their aspiration to extend the political boundaries of Europe and to advance European economies. Vespucci, Chanca, Cortes, and Samuel de Champlain emphasized their intent to convert Indigenous people to Christianity. Some of the ...

Rights of Accused

The concept of the due process can be traced from multiple origins which include customs, practices, enshrined ideals, cherished moral and ethical values and finally, precedents. . (Leonard W.1968).Because of the continued struggle for the freedom of the people, the due process has lead to the acknowledgement of the human rights by the government and they were finally made into legally binding statutes. . (Leonard W.1968).It is clear that the idea of the due process was already old when the constitution of United states was written, in fact is also older than English common law.

In religious study, the line between priest and prophet can often become somewhat blurred. It can be quite difficult to discern exactly what constitutes a priest or prophet, and what ultimate role they have in the fellowship and service of the church. From the days of Israel, prophets have been said and seen to bring people the word of God through direct communication with Him, while priests have to interpret his word, bring people to God, and advise them through the careful study and scholarship that they have endured. Priests and prophets alike have very unique and specific roles to ...

The Presentation of the ‘Primitive’ in Early Twentieth Century Art

In the early Twentieth Century, the idea of the ‘primitive’ was one which was prevalent across the world of civilisation. This was, in part, due to the massively widespread British Empire which, as it loosened its grip on its colonies, began to leave a mass of different types of people all left to re-find their place in the world. In short, the term ‘primitive’ was one used to describe individuals who did not fit in with the western ethnocentric view of the world: white, Christian and adheres to the social expectations of upper class Britain. As all fashions and morbid ...

The Bible is one of the most significant books of Western Civilization. Its first book is Genesis, the first part of which narrates the creation of the world and the fall of humankind. Even though there are many accounts of the creation of the universe, Scripture recounts how God created it in seven days. He did not create all of it at once, but different parts of what we see around us at a time, giving them His blessing as He saw they were good. After making Nature, he made man and woman ...

1877 Compromise and Disenfranchising the African American Workers

In South, Blacks got freedom but they never gained equality. Despite radical attempts of Republicans during Reconstruction, southern blacks struggled with unemployment, illiteracy and poverty.

The two strategies that the Whig leader Samuel Adams might have used are: making connections and identification of direction of the main ideas. These two strategies focus on sharpening the aim of a discussion and exploring deeper into the discussion. Through making connections to various Whigs and participants, Samuel was able to sharpen the focus of the problem hence a convening of the meeting at Old South Meeting House. Alternatively, identification of the direction of the problem at hand—a part of exploring strategy—resulted in Samuel resolving that the ships returning to Britain without Tax being paid.

Waiting for Godot

Waiting for Godot by the Irish writer Samuel Becket is a powerful play attesting to the inevitable suffering inherent in human existence. The play depicts this agony even more poignantly by the fact that it is devoid of a well-organized plot and a conventional setting: “A country road. A tree” (Act 1). This is all the setting there is. .Devoid of these familiar elements, the audience or reader has no choice but to face one of the most fundamental elements of the play: an endless wait. As the play opens, the audience or reader meets Estragon, or rather Gogo, who is struggling ...

Abstract

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is one of the most fascinating and well-known poems by the famed English poet, becoming one of the bastions of British Romantic literature through its immense lyricism and use of metaphor. The poem deals with themes of the violation of nature, the encroaching threat of the Orient and its strangeness on European culture, as well as the stifling nature of guilt, all contributing to a multi-faceted and pluralistic tale that deals with the breadth of human experience.

Probably one of the strongest and most effective horror films, if not the strongest and most effective, ever produced since the start of the century is the Babadook. It centers on the development of both the issues of the mother-son relationship, and the introduction of a new kind of fear designed with a looming and formidable presence of a mysterious figure. However, this horror film does not rely on jump scares to introduce fear to the audience, but it develops a strong storyline that is presented with both psychological and physical fear. Overall, this film is an incredible masterpiece that brings hysteria and sorrow, ...

Hitchings (4) elucidate that the well-established dictionaries produced by lexicographers in English are within the inner circle depicting England, America, and Australia. The Oxford family, Cambridge family, and Collins family dictionaries are popular in Britain and Commonwealth countries. Recently, the American Heritage, Webster family, and Macquarie family of dictionaries from Australia appear to shelve the major bookstores in many countries. Currently, Lynch (7) observes that there is a global competition in the lexicographic market place where people embrace dictionaries and find it hard to work without them. The English dictionaries base on the traditional canon that helps in the development ...

An Examination of Style and Performance

Introduction Joseph Haydn may be the most underrated of all the great composers, especially when it comes to his piano music. Music students in every field, remain taught that Haydn is the “father of the Symphony.” It is this fact that keeps the student from seeking out, discovering, and delighting in his brilliant, often difficult, but worth the challenge of playing Haydn’s late keyboard compositions. Haydn’s major keyboard works are sonatas, generally representing his growth from his early years until 1794 with completion of his final three sonatas. According to Gordon (1996), Haydn often set the ...

Boston city was no different as its people continued to repel the presence of the Britons in its society. Consequently, on March 5, 1770, a confrontation between people from both sides, in Boston Massachusetts, ...

Abstract

The use of thermistors started when the scientists discovered that metals have a semiconductor property. The inventor of the first operating thermistor is Samuel Ruben. Thermistors are resistors which could vary their resistance with the change of temperature. The industry of thermistor rapidly increases due to its reliability and low price. Then, its uses became wider as more and more devices are installed by the thermistors. As the technology progresses, the use of thermistors in any devices and instruments also developed (Ametherm, np).

The book, the life of Samuel Johnson, by James Boswell is a masterpiece both in its content and organization. Of great interest is the manner in which Boswell compares the writings of Joseph Addison and Samuel Johnson. It is apparent from Boswell’s description of these two writers that the methodology of audience involvement used by Addison and Johnson is contrastive. Boswell views Addison as a weak writer. In his opinion, Boswell argues that Addison’s writing style, is simplistic and appears to one directed to peers. Boswell believes that this style is not entirely efficient. This is because as much ...

BOSTON TEA PARTY

If a person with poor knowledge of history hears the name of the event it will arouse association with some meeting of forebears known by their portraits on bank notes, sitting at a served table with cups in their hands. The fact that the event took place in Boston in the territory called Massachusetts being a British colony at those times and that later becoming a state, one might guess from the name and tea really had a relation with this historical fact. The name of the event is of an ironically uttered character. In order to understand why such a big party of expensive ...

In Samuel Beckett’s Company, he uses variations of the word “devise,” “deviser,” “device,” and “devising.” In this paper the use of these words, which are used by Beckett with some frequency will be analyzed. The words will be analyzed as per their meaning, and in how “meaning” fit the contextual elements of Beckett’s text. The paper will be argued from an etymological perspective, to investigate whether words have different forms of meaning, and how Becket may be playing with the meaning of words. Although Beckett bombards the text with formations of the word “devise” in a seemingly absurdist ...

Abstract

The discovery of semiconductor property of a metal began the development of thermistors (Lavenuta, np). Samuel Ruben invented the first practical thermistor (Electrotechnik, np), and since then, the demands of such technology increased because it is considered cheap and reliable. Today, there are many industries, devices and instruments that use thermistors. (Ametherm, np).

History

The semiconductor property of silver sulfide (Ag2S) was the first ever recorded NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistor and was observed by Michael Faraday in 1833. However, because of the difficulty to produce thermistors, and its applications were less understood, the manufacturing of thermistors came only during the ...
