Although, the white powers of Birmingham were not happy regarding the nonviolent demonstrations that were taking place. As white political leaders refused to engage in negotiations, the community of African Americans was left no other choice. Direct action is a form of negotiation, with a community that has refused to acknowledge the issues thus far. King states this as he reflects…

Egypt, though, takes advantage of its animation techniques to create a fantastical version of the burning bush that suspends disbelief in contrast to a live action film where the scene might come across as corny or far-fetched.

While The Prince of Egypt does not have the highest quality computer animation, it…

The Seder is a seasonal ritual meal that has been celebrated for many years once a year by Jewish people. It helps them remember how God gave them back their freedom from the Egyptians. Although Moses played a major role in the famous Exodus story he is not mentioned in the Seder. Instead they focus mostly on the Jewish people, and Adonai, who they consider Lord. A ritual can be classified a number of different ways, and can fit the description of more than one category. The Seder in my opinion…

With a strong love for the word of God and the Ten Commandments and a passion to serve his country, one might say at first glance that he was an ordinary soldier. That, however, is not the case. He went through one of the bloodiest battlefields full of guts, blood, smoke, and gunshots and saved many of his teammates…

As the book progresses he goes on to talk about the story of the bible, from Egypt to Babylon all while interconnecting everything to the Jews or their version of the bible.
