Sarah Franklin Bache

Ben Franklin written by Edmund S. Morgan, provides highly detailed information on Benjamin Frankin’s life. Each chapter talks about different times and accomplishments throughout his life. In Chapter one, Morgan provides us with what Franklin did as a kid growing up, and what he was like. Morgan writes, “[...][A] muscular young man, about five feet nine or ten, full of the energies-physical, intellectual, and sexual-of youth...he enjoys a form of exercise that few people of his time dared to try: he swims, and he is good at it,” (Morgan, 2-3). Chapter one provides examples of why I agree the quote. For example, while America was trying to gain its independence, “[...]Franklin was in Paris, winning the alliance that secured American independence,” (Morgan, 27). Franklin was such a popular and influential man that during the revolution, he was sent overseas to Paris to make an alliance. Also, he was a great ruler in the eyes of many, however did not have much of an interest holding public office.…

delivers a prophecy and blessing to the child that Hagar was carrying (Gen. 16:10-12). Upon hearing the words of the angel, Hagar has a change of character; and instead of submitting to standard social norms she takes initiative of her own and “names” the LORD, the sacred power who spoke to her, El-Roi (Gen. 16:13).

Sarah (originally named Sarai) was one of several women in the Bible who were unable to have children. That proved doubly distressing for her because God had promised her husband Abraham that he would be the father of the Jewish nation, with descendants more numerous than the stars in the sky. After waiting many years, Sarah convinced Abraham to sleep with her handmaiden, Hagar, to produce an heir. That was an accepted practice in ancient times. The child born of that encounter was named…

As already outlined, the first phase of Fanon’s model is demonstrated in Abram’s journey to Egypt. Abram leaves the land of Haran because there is a severe famine (Genesis 12:10). The Pharaoh does not invite Abram to Egypt. Rather, he goes there, at the command of the Lord, looking to exploit resources because there are none in his country. The second phase materializes in this narrative as Abram and Sarai take Hagar and the other slaves out of Egypt to the land of Canaan. Although Hagar is of…

Diversity in Interpretation.” Her interpretation of the interpersonal relations between Sarah and Hagar being a mirror for human tendency are a notion that I feel is important for my congregation’s context.

Eve, Cain and Abel, Abraham and Sarah, and the list goes on. All of these characters play an important role within the overall story of Genesis. Although all of these characters are crucial to the makeup of Genesis, Abraham may be one of the most influential and crucial characters of the Genesis story. The life of Abraham covers thirteen out of the fifty chapters in the book of Genesis, and Abraham is seen as one of the first prophets within the Bible. God says, “…I will make of you a great…
