From the moment I set foot on this world, there has been an eternal flame burning within me. The flame controls me, almost every move I make. It helps me make choices and guides me through important situations in life. The flame is my self discipline and my motivation. The flame was not lit by my parents, it strictly comes from me.

Aside from the three tools I will be using, the 3 world mythology is also significant in trying to understand the two scenes in the book of Esther. The significant of both scenes and of the rest of the book of Esther lies in the belief that God has a purpose as well as his presence in our everyday…

Odysseus says, “’I wanted to see [the Cyclops] and claim the stranger’s gift… So we lit a fire and made our thank-offering, and helped ourselves to as many cheeses as we wanted to eat; then we sat inside till he should come back with his flocks’” (111).
