Chapter 8 Summary By George Muller

Decent Essays
George Muller is an amazing man of prayer, Especially in this book. My favorite excerpt from this book would be in chapter 8 when Muller prays and prays about making the first orphan house, then on December 5 he was praying and got a scripture for the Orphans. After those two days on December 7 he got his first shilling (which isn’t even a dollar in today's money) for the orphan house. Then ,two more days later, he got donations of clothes and furniture for the orphanage. This showing how good God was listening. My second favorite excerpt from this book was in the ending when he small separate houses on wilson street, no room for play areas in the back, and bad plumbing. Then he had his own land and was building his 3rd house on his own land.

Controlling what we eat and drive, how we heat our homes, and how we educate our kids—that’s all small potatoes compared to controlling our overall relationship with government” (XV). Beck is evoking anger and concern out of his audience.…

    Tobias Wolff’s “The Liar” from his collection of short stories entitled Our Story Begins tells the story of James, a teenage pathological liar who, after the death of his father, begins to fabricate gruesome stories about his life.

    Some would say bullying is a negative topic that can be hard to stop. Bullying can be defined as “Repeated aggressive behaviours that are intended to cause harm to a victim with relatively less power to defend themselves” (Faucher et al. 112). It presents itself as an issue from an early age(such as Kindergarten or Pre-Kindergarten) all the way up to bullying even in the workplace (such as hazing or even cyberbullying). It is a problem that only worsens as the ages climb and can become even suicidal if it gets too severe.…
