1:18-21: I make a break here because Jude instead of asking people to live in the last times he asks them to live close to God and his people.

Summary: Jude is telling us that we can’t live in the last times( the time were the godless was present), but; rather we need to live close to God and other Christians.

1: 22-23: I make a break here because Jude shifts from living close to God and his people to saving people from God’s judgement through compassion and kindness while also being cautious not to fall in the quicksand of compromising our beliefs and above all make sure that we influence the world for Christ and not vice versa.

1: 24-25: I finally make my break here because Jude switches topics from treating others with kindness and compassion while not compromising values to being reassured that God will keep believers from falling astray if believers put their trust in him and if that happens God will give an abundance of joy.

Summary: Jude wrote to audiences that were vulnerable to heresies and temptations and encouraged them to have faith in the Lord as the final days of judgment

    As I began to read The Gift of the Jews I automatically saw the authors perspective on all of humanity. He says within the first sentences of his book that the Jews started it all, and by “it” he means everything we value as a society, everything that nonetheless makes us human. As the book progresses he goes on to talk about the story of the bible, from Egypt to Babylon all while interconnecting everything to the Jews or their version of the bible. Thomas Cahill begins his book with discussing “The Temple in the Moonlight.” This story begins in the 5th millennia where our history began, with the first human.…

    As a fiction writer, it is fitting that the narrator in Tobias Wolff’s Old School creates his most elaborate story about himself. As the lower-class, half-Jewish scholarship boy at a mid-century elite boarding school, it is understandable that he is insecure of his position in the school’s social hierarchy. At his school, Jewish kids are discriminated against, and rather than group himself into social humiliation, he chooses to adopt a new personality, joining the ranks of the many upper-class Catholics. By choosing competition over friendship, abandoning his heritage for the opinions of a group to which he does not belong and hiding his status as a scholarship boy by adopting the mannerisms of the upper-class, the narrator distances himself from both his friends and his own identity, compromising and losing…

    Many myths and stories contain similarities in plot, content, and outcome. In the “Great Flood” myth and The Book of Eli their story displayed prior, during and after their heroes’ journey relate and are reflections of the ancient and modern day cultures that created them.
