Jonah's Jonah: The Book Of Jonah

One of the traits jonah shares with mrs. Hodge is the ability to think under pressure. Mr. Hodge shows this trait when he was trapped by the kids in the cave he was calm in saying “ you can come to the future it is better and you don’t have to be split from your family members.” pg. 268 This actually made jonah think twice about his decision. Jonah has this trait also when he was trapped in the cave except, when mr. Hodge had the control. He was tied up and any normal kid would have gave up but not him. He knew he had soe allies on the inside of their group so he asked “can I please speak with only one person maybe her” pg. 278 she was his allie.

In conclusion, Bar-Jonah is a very sick person who eventually got what he deserved. He was a cannibal, sexual offender, kidnapper, molester, and overall a twisted killer. Who knows how many unknown people he has hurt, tortured, or killed and eaten. But now that he is dead and gone he won’t be able to hurt anyone

In the book of Jonah we see the vast amount of tension between both God and Jonah. He is one of the prophets who also believes in tolerance of non-Jews opposite to Ezra’s and Nehemiah’s stress of an unadulterated blood race of Jews under a restrictive Jewish God. Jonah is one of a vast line of important people in the bible who argues with God. As you see in past books of the bible everyone has stood their own against the Lord. Jonah though decides to try and run from God. The Lord called to Jonah and said “Arise, go to Ninevah, that great city, and cry against it,” but Jonah flees to Joppa, setting sail on a ship duty-bound for Tarshish, assuming he can evade the Lord. Jonah views the Lord as sort of a indigenous God of restrained power that his hand would not reach as

Jonah may be the messiest, but he cares for the boys and wants to make sure, they are always safe.

The narrator of the story sees an advertisement put up by a teacher who was looking for a student interested in saving the world. This upset him because he spent years when he was younger looking for a teacher with the same interest. The narrator goes to the address on the advertisement even though he thought it was a hoax. He lands up in a large, almost empty office which eventually leads him to another room where he finds a gorilla sitting. He then hears a voice communicating with him in his head which he realizes is the gorilla talking to him telepathically. The gorilla, named Ishmael tells the narrator about his life. He was captured from the West African jungles and taken to the United States and kept in a zoo. He was then sold to a travelling circus during the Great Depression. He found out he was called Goliath and thought about his disappointing life in captivity.

Interning with the Fist Judicial District of Pennsylvania (FJD) has been a rewarding experience. I have been able to grow as an individual, personally, as well as professionally. I have improved my writing portfolio, by adding serious content and focusing on internal communications. Interning during the fall semester has been difficult at times; balancing an internship, full course load, and a job equals a lot of stress. Also, taking my capstone a semester early has added to a lot of pressure this semester. With all of my obligations, successfully managing my time has been extremely important. Now that it is the end of the semester, I am glad I took on many responsibilities this semester, because I was able to prove my hard work ethic to myself.

To recap the first half of the Book of Jonah, God calls upon Jonah to go to the great city of Nineveh and send them a message that God will punish the Ninevites if they do not repent for their sins. Jonah, refusing to help the Ninevites, decides to “flee from God in disobedience” (Cosby 124) to Tarshish. Jonah boards a ship with a couple of sailors and sets sail to Tarshish. However during their sail, God sends a terrible storm due to Jonah’s disobedience. The sailors eventually had to throw Jonah into the sea in order to calm the storm. God creates a big fish to engulf Jonah where Jonah was in its belly for three days and three nights. This part of the story in particular allows the reader to stop and ponder if Jonah’s incident with the big fish really took place in history. It is impossible to survive one day in a belly of a fish nevertheless three days! Knowing this bit of information, we can deduce that the

My experience with Molly O’Shea began during the 2015-16 school year when she was a student in my Anatomy & Physiology course. That experience continued last year, as I worked with Molly in her honors biology course to provide academic enrichment through gifted support. As a senior, she continues to be one of the foremost student leaders on campus, and is actively involved in coordinating the annual miniTHON at Wilson High School. It has been extremely rewarding to work with Molly as a student and to observe her intellectual, athletic, and personal growth over the past few years.

The Old testament hero that I identify with is Abraham . Abraham was called to a journey of faith. He had to leave everything that was comfortable and familiar . God made three promises to Abraham. He promised to bless him, make him a great nation and a blessing. Abraham answered the call of God and stepped out of faith. Abraham and his wife Sarah experienced a miracle , his son Isaac. God tests Abraham's faith. He told Abraham to take his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Abraham knew that God will raise his son from the dead.

The Old Testament consisted of a set of documentations of religious scriptures, which were written by different people at various times for a different audience. Most of the Old Testament contains short stories of traditional stories and those stories of distinguished ways God established mankind. These stories are often told to the people in narrative form, which are guidelines often referred to as laws, songs, genealogies, and a list from these authors that composed the Old Testaments. The pressing of set documentation is essential because it is the framework for the lives of God 's followers. The term “Old Testament” originated as a means to express spoken traditions and God 's creation of that particular era. It is an method of philosophical investigation was designed to answer the why questions within these spiritual text documentations. These religious documentations consisted of four parts. These four sections retrieved from the Old Testaments are the laws, history, wisdom and prophecy. The laws are a rule of behavior enforced within the community. The rules are sometimes called “Torah.” When analyzing this Torah, these rules viewed within the first five spiritual books of the Bible. For example, in the first Torah in Genesis, it explains the creation, Noah’s Flood, Abraham and Isaac, and Joseph’s coats of many colors. However, the laws in Exodus were in regards to the going out. The going out took about 40 plus years, until the people led to
