Creative Writing: The Exodus

2. Why did the Israelites begin their story with the Exodus? Throughout the Old Testament, the one theme that continually appears is the Exodus (Tullock & McEntire, 2012, pg. 4). However, this was the supreme event in Israelite history. Israel becomes a people of God through

The enchanted forest pulsed in, it’s ancient heartbeat, the deep, haunting song sweeping through the swaying leaves. The woody incense of thousands of leaves and branches matting the forest floor filled the air and dominated our nostrils. Soon, the branches will bend to the will of the whispering wind, allowing the sun to fill every nook and cranny with its the lustrous, golden light, illuminating the full grandeur of a forest that is steeped in plushness and opulence. But for now, the sprawling limbs of centuries-old trees still guarded the darkness, blotting out most of the gentle rays of dawn’s light.

A shrilling alarm sounds, to evacuate the upper levels into the bunkers. As Katniss is viewed as the symbol of the uprising by the people, she composes herself and is one of the first to reach the bunkers, coming to ensure that her mother and Prim should still be relocating the hospital patients. As she waits, disturbed by the flecks of blood on the bunker sign, she grabs three packs of the instructions.

(Quote: “The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day…”[pg147] )

An important idea that Katniss makes the audience think of is bravery. Every day since she was sixteen she has been going outside the wall to hunt for her family. When her father died and her mother slipped into deep depression she was the only one who could feed her family as her younger sister Prim was only seven. This bravery is shown

“Over the island the build-up of clouds continued. A steady current of heated air rose all day from the mountain and was thrust to ten thousand feet; revolving masses of gas piled up the static until the air was ready to explode. By early evening the sun had gone and a brassy glare had taken the place of clear daylight. Even the air that pushed in from the sea was hot and held no refreshment.” The opening statement of the chapter gives away its mood; dark, gloomy, hostile and chilling. The author uses the weather to foreshadow ill-fated

The hot sun beamed off Remi's body as sweat ran down her skin like rain drops. Today was the official beginning of fall and the sun has yet to show mercy on any soul living. And to make matters even worse the A/C unit was out of order which meant every one in Lakeview Apartment would have to suffer from the unbaring heat.

The trees in the shallowest part of the field are wrought with texture. Every shadow, every needle, every piece of bark is beautifully lit and emphasized. The contrast of the image is full scale. The whitecaps in the river and the falling water are amazingly white. The blacks of the shadows being cast by such direct sunlight are very dark. The rainbow and the part of the image behind the rainbow are gray, as well as much of the face of the mountain. This overall tonality provides a lovely balance to the

Therefore she gets angry and shoots an arrow at an apple of a baked pig in the crowds dining area. This strictly showed she has no fear for what happens to her from there on. She basically said at that point that she is fearless and has the potential to do anything. In a true rebellion, you want to show that you are fearless and have the courage to never give up. Another great example that ties into this is the same book but part 3. Focus when Peeta and Katniss are the remaining tributes. So, they decided to fakely-eat poisonous Berries that would end up killing both of them. The rules changed and only one tribute can survive, this is the reason they are doing this. Knowing that they must have a victor right before they eat the berries, they change the rules again and they both live. The true character of courage and abusing the rules of the games shows that they don't care and will do anything to stay alive and show Panem that they have a voice. This represents the true moral that a human has as a living creature on earth, that everyone has a value in them. Katniss stood for what was right, which was to rebel the decisions made and face any consequences

The brisk wind rustled the leaves and the branches murmured. The morning had been chilly and opaque, with a curtain of drizzle sweeping across the plains. The decaying morality and despair of humanity has affected the weather, or have I just ceased being able to see colour?

The youthful spring breeze drifted through the cracks in the bunkhouse and, as the sun rose, so did the men. They moved sluggishly, muscles and backs aching as they pulled themselves off their beds, still worn out from the labour of the day before. The day was hot but the small gusts of morning air were crisp and fresh, moving gently among the sycamore leaves.

Without the person Katniss thought would have her back, she is now left with the harsh reality that she can’t trust anyone at all. Even though Katniss is blindsided, she is quick to recover and carry on. This composition fits this scene because it talks about taking back what’s left of themselves. It creates a sense of empowerment that shows the audience that Katniss is able to overcome the challenges that have begun to make their way into her path. It also shows that the obstacles are making her stronger and more

In the very first section it is described that it is a cold day in april; that the clocks is striking 13; that the wind is vile; and that Winston Smith tries to escape this by rushing inside his building and though he is not able to keep the gritty dust outside. This indicates that the story is not characterized by joy and sunny days but the opposite instead.

Sound and smell crowded Julios' mind, pure ecstasy mixed with the over stimulation of thumping music and free flowing drugs pushed his pupils wide and his pores open, his brow furrowed and his mouth clenched into a dumb grin. With each bass filled kick of the music and flash of the cyan lights his eyes flicked left to right, his ocular nerves flaring with excitement at the melting colors and waving sound that he was immersed in. The pleasing form of a woman half his age moving along with the music, her outline dragging behind her motion leaving a line of rainbow outlines, each one like a frame of a movie.

Next of all Rabbi C. chose to pursue an undergraduate degree in Journalism from Northwestern University during the fall of 1994. Rabbi C. reiterated that initially he desired to be a journalist and he was very observant to detail. Therefore during his first year at Northwestern University he lived on campus in a dorm that housed about one hundred freshman students and Rabbi C. was the only individual who practiced Judaism. This living arrangement exposed him to students who partook in a wide array of religious beliefs. Thus Rabbi C gradually became more accepting of people who did not practice Conservative Judaism. Rabbi C. would prepare a festive meal to commemorate the annual Judaism Passover holiday at college for his roommates and
