Analysis Of Connect The Dots: The Book Of Esther
Connect the Dots- Esther
Recently, in our Old Testament class we went over the book of Esther. Although it is a short book and it may be often overlooked, Esther was a great woman of God and we can learn many things from her. She was a woman of courage, bravery, determination, and showed how if we love God and stand up for what is right, God will always be by our side. She didn’t falter in her faith and stood strong in the face of adversity and danger and God used her to help save his people from an evil ruler.
With her people at risk, Queen Esther knew she must do something in order to save the Jews from being killed by King Xerxes. Esther 3 verse 6 says, “But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people

    In "Song of Solomon" the women take somewhat of a backseat compared to the men. There are plenty of strong and important female characters in this work but they become disposable to the men. For example Macon Dead II loved the thrill of taking off Ruth's shoes and stocking but as time passed he simply hated her and wasn't afraid to hit her either. From Ruth's perspective she just craved loved and wanted someone to fill her void since he husband would no longer show her an ounce of appreciation. Ruth then decided that Milkman would be her champion and she would love him and hopefully that love would be reciprocated and this relationship would eventually lead her to breastfeeding Milkman even when he was too old for it and thus him receiving…

    From the beginnings of America in 1619 to 1865 the institution of slavery has had a detrimental effect on the humanization of both black and white individuals. In his narrative, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, author Frederick Douglass explores not only his experience with this abhorrent establishment that was slavery, but the personal anecdotes of others that, combined, strengthen his overall argument that the institution of slavery has been dehumanizing for not only blacks, but whites as well.…

    Adversities are all around us. In any particular place, there are challenges that one must face, challenges that come one after another. It could be an abstract obstacle such as time, fear, despair, or frustration. It could also be a physical entity that one must face before they can overcome a problem. In Song of Solomon (1977), by Toni Morrison, the characters in this book are constantly reminded of the adversities around them, by a color that appears again and again. Living as blacks in 20th century America, racism exists and surrounds their daily lives. The two characters, Guitar and Milkman, face many hardships; one tries to fight back by resorting to violence, the other tries to resist by finding his identity as a Black American. Throughout…

    Shakespeare has brought the Bible to life through the character of Emilia. Her passion for justice and intelligence reminds us of Esther. Emilia’s unusual ability to talk down to powerful men of authority portrays the bold persona of Esther. The maiden’s brave act is a replication of the scene where Esther risks execution by appearing unannounced to her husband, King Xerxes, just so the truth would prevail! Emilia has no hesitation when is comes to speaking her mind, even to a powerful war general. Emilia even curses that, “…may his [Othello’s] pernicious soul/ rot half a grain a day!” (5.2. 154-155)…

    The Penelopiad is, first and foremost, is a feminist perspective of events that unfolded during The Odyssey. It is from Penelope’s, the cousin to Helen of Troy, point of view- a violent and revisionist view of events that took place.
