included. Unfortunately the history provided by these gospels could have been adapted to fit certain purposes within the faith. Matthew, Mark and Luke are believed to be more accurate than John as they share a larger amount of information as 90% of the book of Mark is included in Matthew. Furthermore, the book of John doesn’t include key events such as the exorcism Jesus performs or the presence of lepers. While, Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13 share specific details such as the temptations faced…

Luke. (71) The Gospel of John is unlike The Singer except for their poetic structures. John’s Gospel takes a poetic view of Jesus and gave Him his poetic titles such as “The Way” (14:6) The entire story of The Singer is written in poetry. Even the word used for Messiah, Troubadour, refers to a lyric poet composing and singing of courtly love. This is similar to the poetic titles Jesus is given in this gospel. The first passage of The Singer (PG 7) is reminiscent of John 1:1-5. Both describe how…
What I learned about "Minerva Jones" by Edgar Lee Masters, is that in the epitaph is that she wrote poems in her village and she had a "heavy body, cock-eye, and rolling walk." The people Jones speaks about are the people in her village and the relationships and interactions that are evident are very horrible as Jones explains how a man named "Butch" Weldy and Doctor Meyers were responsible of her death. Some of the things this lets us know about the poet's view of small-town American culture is…

drafted "A Declaration of Rights and Sentiments" to summarize their concern and modeled their text after the Declaration of Independence, adding "and women" to the phrase "all men are created equal." A very famous contemporary was Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams. She was one of the first women who tried fighting for women's rights by writing letters to her husband requesting to "remember the ladies" in drafting the country's founding documents and laws. She also wrote that they should not "put…
just “happened”, but rather people worked hard in it to build it into what America is today. In his poem “I hear America singing”, Walt Whitman writes about all the sounds he hears of different blue collar jobs being accomplished. Whether it be a carpenter measuring planks or a wife doing chores at home (Whitman), everyone was putting in work and contributing to the society. Virtually everyone then was contributing, including African Americans. Langston Hughes writes in his poem, I, too, Sing…
night during winter when a mob quickly appears and advances on him and the other guards that have shown up as the mob has. Then someone yells fire as bells are ringing and the Boston massacre happens in front of the men. Next in the point of view of John Adams, who is currently a lawyer who stands by the law no matter who it is, hears gunshots and goes outside and asks a soldier what has happen and he is told…
is saying that even after every man who worked from dawn to dusk, they still go home with cheerful attitude because he knows that he succeeded day in and day out. Throughout this poem, Whitman describes how each man gets ready for work from the carpenter to the boatman, each man had their own special way of always getting prepared for work while he is still having a cheerful attitude. And this shows that the American dream is alive and is inside all of us in the perspective of…
