Goliath

America loves a good underdog story. When I watch the adventure of those depicted in the films Rudy and Rocky I still get chills.

There is a reason nobody ever sides with the cliché 80’s bad guy that wears a headband and seems to always have a pretty girl under their arm. Finally, a new underdog…

Courage is the ability to do…

David and Goliath “, a connection of differences and similarities. In other words ,many similarities occur throughout both story and poem , one of the most noticeable similarity is that both tough guys , really are not afraid to fail or anything in their path .

The Statues of David The Story of David and Goliath is a timeless story from I Samuel 17. The Philistine army had come against Israel and was ready for war. The two armies gathered for battle on opposite sides of a valley. A Philistine giant named Goliath that was over 9 feet tall mocked and challenged the Israelites for forty days. Everyone was terrified of him. David, a young shepherd boy heard of this giant and offered to fight him. He went with only a sling and a stone and came back…

The Goliath is the tallest rollercoaster in six flags and I’m going to ride it. I am scared but today is my last day at six flags till next summer. Will I be able to ride the Goliath or will someone stop me. The car pulled up to drop me and my friends off. We all headed to the front and waited.

Carts from…

As children and adults, we have always been taught that "Goliaths" can…

Daniel and Goliath I was stuck like a car in the game Rush Hour and did not know how to escape. “Daniel!” exclaimed my Sunday School teacher. “That is not appropriate!” I tried to recall how I put myself into this quandary in the first place and, more importantly, how I was to maneuver through it. A few minutes earlier, I was your typical four-year-old child playing with toys in the classroom along with other children in my Sunday School class. Aside from what was for lunch that day, I was…

David & Goliath is one of my favorite stories as it portrays a metaphor that we can all relate to. In life, we all have to stand up to something bigger than us and overcome something that may seem impossible to overcome. I believe even more so that every single college student out there can use this metaphor in comparison to college. College is a huge obstacle in life & with the professional field getting increasingly competitive, college degrees have become the standard in today’s society. No…
