My Shepherd Analysis

Decent Essays
In the Twenty-third Psalms the green represents the green pastures; however, the yellow signifies the sun that shines down on the green pastures. The shepherd and the sheep have a relationship with each other. A shepherd tends to lead his sheep, like a parent guide their children. The Lord is my shepherd (line 1). The Lord is a guide, which guards over us as a shepherd watches over his flock. The bowl is an array of different fruits and it has everything that you will need for a fruit salad. You will lack nothing in the fruit salad, for there are apples, grapes, raspberries, peaches, etc. I shall not want (line 1). Furthermore, have full confidence that the Lord my shepherd will supply all your needs: food, clothing, shelter from the storm, …show more content…
The shepherd guides his flock to their refreshment, where they can drink of the still stream without the fear of drowning. He leadeth me beside the still waters (line 2). However, the Lord wants to refresh you. He restoreth my soul (line3): The Lord is holding a man in the comfort of his arms. The Lord sends a healing down to you, so that you will full of life. This is done through speaking blessings, protecting, encouragement, etc. Here you have two people walking down a narrow path, holding hands. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake (line 3). However, at times the shepherd will gently guide one down the right path. If a sheep was to go astray, the shepherd would leave his flock to search for that one sheep, and rejoice when he finds him. The Lord has a purpose and a plan for you. On this slide you find a young girl walking through a dark, scary, lonely forest. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, (line 4). A small black and white cat is gliding past a row of large German Shepherds, and doesn’t mind that they are huge. I will fear no evil: (line …show more content…
For thou art with me; (line4) a shepherd will deliver security for his sheep and must be willing to contribute his being for his sheep. You can take comfort knowing that the Lord is with you all the time. Slide 11 shows a staff: a staff provides protection as well a guide. The staff is used also for discipline for a roving sheep, who wants to gaze separate from the flock. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me (line 4). The Lord disciplines or chastises his sheep because he loves them. Slide 12: shows a table beautifully being put together, for a special occasion. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: (line 5) Even in the mist of my enemies, nevertheless, I still have hope that everything is going to work out for my good. Slide 13: here is a woman being anointed with oil and she is basking as the oil is being poured. Thou anointest my head with oil; (line 5) to be consecrated. Consecration: the act of consecrating; dedication to the service and worship of a deity. Also consecration can be an act of being cleansed before the Lord. Slide 14: shows a cup overflowing with water. My cup runneth over (line 5): meaning overflow, abundance, and blessing of being

    Upon listening to “Sheep, Sheep, Don’t You Know the Road” by Bessie Jones I immediately recognized the African American music traits. The song plays like a gospel choir in which, there is a verse by one singer, then followed by one by a group. In the background, you can hear stomps, although this is quickly subdued by the loud clapping rhythm. This clapping is called the “offbeat” and is known to be used in African American vocal music to create a “drumbeat”(Candelaria & Kingman 18).…

    1 Analytic Response to “The Orphan Boy and The Elk Dog”I am writing an analytic response to “The Orphan Boy and The Elk Dog” by A Blackfoot Legend.

Spanish explorer Hernando Cortés brought the first horses to Mexico in 1519, and they quickly spread northward. By the 1600s, many Native American tribes had captured and tamed wild horses.”…

    In his memoir With The Old Breed, E.B Sledge grants his readers access into his mind, where the battles of Peleliu and Okinawa continue to wage on in memory. Sledge gives a first-hand account of how 'child innocence is lost(156), when boys between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five are collectively crafted by war1. The purpose of this discussion is to analyze With The Old Breed, and comment on the nature of war in terms of the Pacific theatre, specifically Peleliu and Okinawa. Although war was explicitly waged against the Japanese forces, inherent in this memoir is the notion that war was also waged against one's self, and the environment. Sledge describes his time in the Pacific as one where only the dead were safe, and those who had gotten a million dollar wound were lucky2 (125).…

    I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again.” He chose the cross because He wanted to restore relationship with us. The Lord has set us free (2 Corinthians 3:17) and we have victory found in Him alone (1 Corinthians 15:57), which corresponds to the next line of the chorus, “Now rid of the shackles, my victory is yours”. The conclusion of the chorus states that the because the veil was torn, we all have complete access into the Presence of God whenever we want to (Matthew 27:51, Hebrew 10:19). The next verse focuses on the idea of the Lord being our light in the darkness, so throw off the fear that is holding you back to run fully into the Father’s arms (Matthew 14:22-23, Hebrews 12:1, 1 John 4: 18).…

    Oppression during modern America is something that is inevitably present throughout the lives of American inhabitants. The United States is not close, whatsoever, to being classified as a virtuous nation. We as a nation oppress not only the poor, but also the weak, the homeless, and strangers, but many people do not realize how frequent it occurs in everyday life. Furthermore, most Americans are unaware to the oppression we cause in other countries, especially to the underprivileged nations with our trade, free enterprise, and wealthy lifestyles. In comparison, I noticed that there was an overall oppression problem throughout every reading, even though they may be different examples of oppression.…

    My older sister, Jen, has always had a mild personality. Her shyness is not what makes her a sheep, though, as it is rather her perception of the world and everybody in that makes her fit into the sheep category. There are three types of people according to Dave Grossman’s On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs, and while I do not agree with Grossman that the world can be divided into three separate groups, the general basis of his idea is just. According to Grossman, you are a wolf that preys on the weak, a sheep that is weak, or a sheepdog that protects the sheep from the wolves. It is not to say that 100% of the time Jen is a sheep and doesn’t have the ability to be anything other than that, but for the most part, Jen is defined most accurately…

    The poem "Annabel Lee", by Edgar Allan Poe, shows the speaker's way of coping with the death of his beloved, which is displayed as obsession towards her and his judgment of the holy as guilty.

First, the repetition of words, phrases and sounds emphasizes the speaker's obsession towards Annabel Lee.

    Through black independent film, Burnett uses the mise-en-scène of Killer of Sheep to depict black female identity in these particular scenes. Burnett successfully transcends and reflects the character’s image in society through the use of everyday matter. The physical lid of the pot is a reflective item, depicting to Stan’s wife a literal image of herself in it. The doll that Stan’s daughter sings to is not only a reflection of her identity and self esteem, but of blackness in a white world. In contrast, Burnett also uses the mise-en-scène to depict black male identity.…
