Analysis Of ' 15 ' By William Saul

He shows he is weak and not ready to lead. (1 Samuel 9:21). Saul even hides when he is supposed to show himself to the Israelites as the chosen King (1 Samuel 11: 22). Although Saul knows that he cannot lead, he has no choice, he has to follow the Lord’s order. At last, God realizes that Saul was indeed not a leader-type person and chooses another person. God must have known that people are not forced to be leaders, but they themselves should be aware of the ability to be leaders.

When Saul is torn away from his family and heritage, he begins to subconsciously seclude himself. To begin, when Saul is first put into a residential school, he knows that his previous life is gone, and hope for him continues to diminish quickly

Saul’s séance with the witch of Endor in 1 Samuel 28 is regarded as the starting of the coup de grâce of his tragic ending of being King Israel. The first anointed to be king, being first inst always what is suppose to be. Here in Saul’s case he was the first and now it’s going to end in mess. In his life the Israelite king has gone from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley of moral.

By becoming the king, Saul was ensuring that his bloodline would rule Israel, or so he thought. However, when he lost the favor of God he also lost the right to his throne because the Lord chose a new king. Even before there is conflict between Saul and David, there is evidence that he could be quick to anger. Samuel, when told to go an anoint David, is afraid of what Saul will do to him (1 Samuel 16.2). This also hints that Saul may have trouble controlling his emotions, even when faced with the knowledge that the new path was the will of God.

The residential school and other negative influences cause Saul to lose his identity. First of all, at St. Jerome’s they would constantly crush the

Understanding one’s family history and where you come from is important to any person's sense of self, and is equally important for Saul’s character. When at God’s Lake as a child, a place special to the Indian Horse family, Saul learns more on the history of his family. “[He] could see a camp of a dozen wigwams at the foot of the great cliff. Women were scraping hides stretched out on poplar frames while the children ran around them.” The land is relevant to Saul’s understanding of himself because he only has these kinds of visions where he learns about the past on the land. Upon learning about the land and family history, he takes that with him everywhere he goes. After wandering aimlessly for a decade, Saul comes back to God’s lake where he has a supernatural vision of Shabogeesick where “he swept his arm to [. . .] the lake, the shore and the cliff behind us. [He says] ‘You’ve come to learn to carry this place within you. This place of beginnings and endings.’” In Saul’s vision of his great-grandfather, the significance of the land in his journey is vocalized. In order to know where are you going, you have to know where you have been. The land plays a vital role in helping Saul know where he is going by teaching him his family history and where he has been.

As the tide of battle swiftly turns against the Jews, as Samuel had predicted. King Saul tries to make it to where his sons are battling, but is too late. He is too occupied defending himself from the Philistines and can only watch as his two sons suffer defeat. Afterwards, King Saul gets severely wounded by the Philistine’s archers in his legs and becomes unable move. As many fled for their lives, King Saul’s loses hope in winning the war. After having to see the death of his three sons, he gives up all hope in winning.

However, why was Saul chosen, and, ultimately, why was he rejected? The book “The Essence of the Old

In order to be a survivor, one must be able to cope well with obstacles and not give up when life starts to get difficult. By examining Richard Wagamese’s book, Indian Horse, it is obvious that Saul is a survivor. Saul Indian Horse, the main character in the novel Indian Horse, proves what it takes to be a true survivor based on his personality traits, how he deals with conflicts and his sense of resiliency. Firstly, in the novel Indian Horse, Saul’s smart nature shows he is a survivor when he chooses to reveal himself as a boy that is void of feeling while at the residential school.

Saul was chosen by God to be the king, according to the scriptures (1 Sam 9:17). The Lord told Samuel, “Here is the man of whom I spoke to you! He it is who shall restrain my people” (1 Sam 9:17). When Samuel gathers the people together, he reiterates how Israel has rejected God and demanded a king by saying, “But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your calamities and

In 1 Samuel 28: 1-25 Yahweh guides Saul to his death because he has outright deceived and disobeyed God. This passage sets an example to obey Yahweh; otherwise he will inflict punishment

In The Bible there are multiple ideal societies which are presented, each denoted by the God's approval of that society and its leader. One of these societies is that portrayed in the story of Saul. In this story Samuel, a prophet of God, is given the task of revealing Saul, the ruler who is specified

Now, Saul didn’t come to the throne as the results of a hard-fought political campaign. In fact, he wasn’t even running for the office. I don’t suppose that he had ever thought of becoming a king. The day Saul left home looking for his father’s live-stock he had no idea that something was going to happen that would change his whole life.
