How Does Sam Marry Thyrm?

Decent Essays
I predict that Sam will not go through with the marriage to the giant, Thyrm. The first point I believe this is because she is betrothed to a man named Amir. She had made a sacred Muslim vow that she will not marry anyone but him. This supports that she will not marry Thyrm; she would not want to break the oath. Another fact supporting this fact is she truly loves Amir and he loves her too. She would not want to separate their love. This clearly shows that Sam will not marry Thyrm because it would upset her relationship with Amir. Sam’s family also approves and wishes that Sam and Amir get married. Because she does not want to upset her family, one can surmise that Sam will not marry Thyrm because she is engaged to Amir. The second reason I

    Is it possible to imagine the sound of gunfire piercing in your ears, the shrieks of wounded soldiers and the orders of your general? The dodging of cannon fire and bullets as you march into battle. Seeing the sweat glistening off your fellow soldiers brow, having it sting your eyes as you cross the battlefield, always armed and always ready. Smelling the strong, pungent odor of gunpowder and smoke mixed with the smell of burning flesh as your fellow soldiers are taken out one by one. Marching through the freezing snow to the point where you cannot tell if you are shivering from the cold or from the fear.…

    In the event of comparing the attitude towards the Native Americans by three authors, I decided to apply Marry Rowlandson, John Smith and Cotton Mather’s expressions and experiences which are revealed in their journals. The author’s perspective of the Native Americans was different, which illustrated characteristics of the bad Indian, the noble Salvage, and the good Indian. Therefore, I will begin with Marry Rowlandson’s observation of the Native American Indians, which belong to the Wampanoag tribe. Mrs. Rowlandson suggests that the Indians were wretches, beast, and heathens, who slaughtered her family, and took her into captivity.…

    In the book of Ezra, the main focus is the return of the exiles to Judah from Babylon, and the restoration of Jerusalem and the Temple. This return was approved by Cyrus, who was the king of Persia at the time. Under the imperial rule of Persia and permitted by the edict to return to their land, the exiles were able to eventually implement the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Law of Moses, as an authoritative tool in both public and personal life. The idea of the Law being used as a figure of authority can be seen in Chapter Nine; throughout the chapter, the author is exceedingly distressed, because he is told that the people of Israel “[had] not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands with their abominations” (Ezra 9.1b).…
