are in a losing period or need help in winning the game or war. In “Casey at Bat” it says “The Outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Mudville nine that day The score stood four to two, with but one inning more to play” and in “David and Goliath” it says “Saul and his men heard what Goliath said, but they were so frightened of Goliath that they couldn’t do a thing”. The reason for the the first quote from “Casey at Bat” is because the quote shows that they were losing and in “David and Goliath the quote

Saul and David had a lot in common. Both were kings of Israel while Samuel was its prophet. Both men were considered attractive. 1 Samuel 9:2 describes Saul as “a choice and handsome man, and there was not a more handsome than he among the sons of Israel.” David is described as “he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance” in 1 Samuel 16:12. While Saul was sent to find the lost donkeys, David was a shepherd over flocks of sheep. Both men were handpicked by God. God revealed his

In the poem “Casey at Bat” and story “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. Their first similarity is that they were both extremely confident. This is true because the poem states, “There was ease in Casey’s manner as he stepped into his place; There was pride in Casey’s bearing and a smile on Casey’s face.”, Also the story states, “When Goliath started forward, David ran toward him.” This means that Casey is confident because he wasn’t scared he

After David’s sin with Bathsheba, God did not turn his back on him and demanded that he discontinue the marital relationship with her since her husband was dead and she was released from that law. The law stated that “For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. God punished David and brought upon him the evil consequences of his sin to teach us the consequences of breaking God’s Law. The long-term effects of the affair, lead to David’s soldiers Joab putting

Saul was a murderous, evil man whom wanted nothing more than to see all Christians rot away and perish. He wanted nothing to do with the faith because he thought it was a lie. Saul was there when Stephen was stoned to give approval of his death. Saul was on his way to take prisoners back to Jerusalem from Damascus, when the presence of God came upon him. Saul could not see once the Lord had spoken to him. He had his men take him to Damascus, and Saul fasted for 3 days. The 3 days is important because

The Judge Gideon we all know. The judge Gideon was a God-fearing leader. The judge Gideon was a good example. Gideon led Israel against the Midianites. He led them and defeated the Midianites. He led a wicked nation who always fell into sin. He was a strong leader who loved God. Gideon led during a hard time for the people of Israel. He was small and poor but showed himself to be strong and rich in the faith in God for the victory over his enemies. As we know, the people of Israel served Baal. When

While reading David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants by Malcolm Gladwell it became clear to me that many things I perceive in real life are not actually as they seem and small choices can have big effects. He uses stories from history as well as stories and studies he has put together supplemented by real statistics and information to shine a light on a lot of misconceptions people have with how the world works. He presents an alternate way to look at the world and

give him power.” In the Bible, Saul was designated the king of the Israelites after they demanded a human king; however, his new role caused him to become egocentric and look out for his personal interests. In the book Twelve Unlikely Heroes, John MacArthur tells the story of Jonathan and his friend David, who was appointed to be the next king after Saul. God’s sovereignty in David’s rise as king exemplifies how He can choose anyone to carry out His will. Because Saul was leading Israel to disaster

well-known warrior of the Israelites; a hero to the people. Saul was king of the Israelites at the time and had been for the past twenty-five or so years. He had six beautiful children including Jonathan, Michal, Ishbosheth, Merab, Malchisuhua and Abinadab; whom he loved very much. Additionally, David had become like a son to Saul. However, over a couple of months, Saul had begun

The vocabulary words I chose from this chapter are indomitable, which means impossible to subdue or defeat and resplendent, which is something attractive or impressive through being rich, colorful, or sumptuous. Both of these apply to this chapter and throughout David and Goliath with respect to the underdogs vs. giants, in particular, the underdogs all posses the quality of being indomitable in pursuing formidable opponents on a consistent basis usually achieving success. On the other hand, giants
