Muslim Story: A Thematic Analysis
How important is it for the angels in the Muslim story to submit to God because "God knows" what he is doing? Submission is an important part of the Muslim story, all must at one point submit to God, Angels are guardians of humans but they also have choice to follow God if wanted as shown with Iblis. With not submitting to God you basically choose a Life without him and are force to go your own path, which without God is a place of Hell or all things that are not God.
Does it make sense that Iblis (an angelic being/Jinn) refused to submit to a man, even though God asked him to do it? I am not asking whether you agree with Iblis' actions. I am specifically asking you to think about how the submissive posture of the angels before and after

    A).Which clue would tell Stefan which scapular surface was anterior and which was posterior? What is the name of the shallow, oval socket of the scapular that Stefan placed next to the humerus? When he pulled out the two bundles, each containing a narrow S-shaped bone. Turning them over in his hands, he quickly decided which was right and which left, then placed each clavicle by its neighboring scapula.

    Soto gives this repetition of angels as a tool to indicate his own take on religion while deceivingly making a child’s perspective merely a mask. He elaborates the bond with himself and angels like a child would; using such words as “flopping”. He offers only a youthful outlook on how to interpret the presence of God by using the examples of “God howling in the plumbing underneath the house…” and “I knew an apple got Eve into deep trouble…” as if he was aware of who the divine is but he isn’t completely sure on how to explain God other than as he pictures God or…

    “Novels and stories are renderings of life; they can not only keep us company, but admonish us, point us in new directions, or give us courage to stay a given course.” (Robert Coles). We as humans, all love a good story; whether we are watching a movie, listening to our favorite song, reading a novel or having someone tell us a story, there is always a sense of enjoyment. Stories are all around us and we can trace stories and the act of storytelling back to our early ancestors. "All the individuals of the same species, and the species of the same genus, or even higher, are descended from common parents;" stated by Charles Darwin in Origin of Species, his take on stories was take even though the story may change as humans evolve, they all start with an origin. Looking through the lens of literary Darwinism stories can be a metaphor towards the theory of evolution.…

    In my early childhood, my parents moved numerous times back and forth between the Untied States and Iran. Eventually, my family ended up settling in North Houston, where my father bought a traditional two-story home in a typical gated community. Throughout the years, the house preserved many struggles, and witnessed many successes between my family and I. However, not only did our home observe our experiences, but it also embraced our culture.

    Furthermore, the men keep score of the souls they saved, and the men make obscene comments about Deborah. These realizations made by Gabriel are significant because they establish an identity amongst preachers that he opposes: “They took God’s power as their due… And this offended him and frightened him. He did not want, ever, to hold the gift of God so lightly” (23). Gabriel has successfully created an identity for himself in opposition to the elders. If the elders hold the gift of God “lightly,” then he would become adamant. Yet, his adamancy ruins…

    The ones who most acknowledge the angel’s esteem and revere it accordingly are the vandals who desecrate the chapel where the angel formerly resided. There is no mention of anything the vandals say inside that chapel, and the closest thing to speech is when they hit the angel “almost apologetically" (20). The angel could acknowledge the mourning women, and the vandals felt regret as they broke the angel because God was there to observe; the museum goers praise the beauty of the broken angel because they are removed from God. If the museum goers instead saw the broken angel inside of a chapel by an altar, as it originally was, they most likely would not be praising its quality and instead would mourn over the brokenness. If the vandals broke the angel inside of the museum instead of the chapel, they might regret it, but the extent would pale in comparison to what they felt in the chapel. How do we acknowledge our brokenness and still reach God, if the text is right in saying the cries of the condemned cannot reach…
