different reasons to the purpose. In 2 Kings 21, His purpose was not to demonstrate the failure of God’s promise to David. He, rather wanted to show that salvation was still linked to the Davidic dynasty and the Jerusalem temple to prove that God had not abandoned his basic institutions of salvation. In contrast, the chronicler detailed His purpose was to illustrate that when the son of David cared for gods house and provided for genuine worship, god brought peace to the kingdom. (2 Chronicles…

The Davids Term Paper ARTH 107-800L Over the course of history, art has grown and evolved. Cave paintings made with berries and ash have evolved into the extremely complex digital pieces of artwork of today. Because of the shear amount of time and amount of amazing artistic talent, there are different takes of the same story.

The downfall of Judah was a complex and lengthy political ordeal documented over several books of the Old Testament. Two prophets who give their own detailed reasoning for this downfall are Ezekiel and Jeremiah. Both prophets lived during a tumultuous transitionary period of Judah’s history during which Babylon began a systematic deportation and exile of Judah’s citizens. Where the prophets differ, however, is in their message to the elite of Judah in its waning days and their eventual exile.…

“David” one of the most famous sculptures of all time was created in the early 1500s by the famous Italian artist Michelangelo. This statue made out of marble is of a nude male and measures 17ft tall, is a representation of the biblical hero David, known as the “giant slayer” (Goliath). However the expression on the face of the statue is that of a younger David tensed and ready for battle rather than a face of defeat and victory over the giant. Michelangelo was not the original artist to…

for we see in the beginning of the story, Irving tells that "whoever made a voyage..." These bodies of water in both stories enhance the imagery in both stories. Another similarity in the setting are the forests. We see Tom stroll through "The swamp thick with gloomy pines." On the other hand, Rip lives by houses "whose shingle roofs gleam among the trees." Both Tom and Rip 's stories take place in a forest, and by a body of water. The author Washington Irving chooses to write about these…

Genocide is an aspect of violence/aggression that has a huge impact on everyone’s lives. Numerous factors play a role in why people would choose to participate in mass genocide.

develops a sad mood. For example, When Irving describes Tom's house: "They lived in a forlorn looking house, that stood alone and had an air of starvation. A few straggling savin trees, emblems of sterility, grew near it; no smoke ever curled from its chimney; no traveler stopped at its door. "(259). Words like forlorn-looking, alone, starvation, etc., give a really sad and lonely atmosphere and influence the reader's way of looking at Tom. Moreover, Irving describes Tom's horse using adjectives…

all my research on Washington Irving, a Yankee living in New York, was to learn how the first American author pictured the world. Irving is widely considered the first American author not because he was the first author in North America, but because he is the first person in America to write stories “by heart”. What I mean by writing with heart was that Irving wrote with a passion, as he considered his work written for the reason of what he loved the most, humor. Irving wrote with love and heart…

The heart of a story lies in the moral. Once a story has been read, the reader must understand the moral, in order to appreciate the story. Sometimes a story 's moral can be explained with a cliché. Washington Irving 's Rip Van Winkle, can be captured by the cliché, you reap what you sow. Rip 's life was not fruitful, as many years were wasted, causing him to not reap any rewards. The Birthmark, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, follows a man plagued by the obsession to remove his wife 's birthmark, in…
