The Chosen Ones

Anything that comes in can’t get out unless the chosen one finds another locked door down this hallway and unlocks it,” said the door. Jimmy and Jamie went off in search of the other locked door. They went a long way down checking both sides of the hallway searching for the right door. Before they new it, they were back to the starting point, even though they didn’t know how, since they hadn’t turned around. There they found a door that was locked, so Jimmy quickly grabbed the key, put it in the slot, and turned the key. The door unlocked and swung open. Everyone was freed at last. When Jimmy and Jamie walked out, without Jimmy saying a thing, Jamie knew exactly what he was thinking, and it has been that way ever since. She could read his mind, but she not anyone else 's mind. “Wait what…

town somewhere is Russia; three men run inside an old toxic waste building. They are running from federal officials because they have a tablet which can cause great destruction if used properly. They race to the basement, running all over the place until they find a spot no one will look, where they hide the tablet. Then they surrender themselves to the authorities. They leave on a helicopter and in mid-air, the town blows up, no one will find the tablet now. The year is 3054; people…

Otherness is the separation by society through different lenses to stand out and be alienated. Many argue that Harry Potter as a series dwells deep in the topic of otherness; Harry is often seen as an “other” in many aspects: he is unsure as a wizard, becomes a hero, and is “The Chosen One.” In Marion Rana’s essay, “‘The less you lot have ter do with these foreigners, the happier yeh’ll be’: Cultural and National Otherness in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series”, Rena argues that despite the…

God imparts a lesson on rulers both secular and theocratic by allowing the people of Israel to defy His wishes that He would be their only God and leader. God allows them to be led by a king, albeit one whose appointment comes with His approval. God conveys a lesson in the books of Samuel, to all rulers that can be seen through a close comparison of the two kings He chooses, Saul and David. The decisions, motivations, and experiences had by these kings show significant differences and the…

The Israelites, upon their exodus from Egypt, were chosen by God because of their weakened physical state. They had no identity, home, or religious bodies to look towards. Because of this, God believed the Israelites would be the perfect fit to start a new religion as they would be in need of an identity and a figure to put their faith into. However, Jindrich Lion never lost his identity. He was always a strong individual whose identity lied in his interests, not necessarily his religion or…

out of Egypt, by the hand of God. They resisted and rebelled against God for the last forty years and they are about to go into a land where people worship many other gods. Moses challenges the new generation to be different from their parents and respond to God in obedience and love, and reminds the Israelites of the ten commandments. Reminders of how God moved in our past, is to remember the God who breaks His people free of slavery. Today God does the same work with us. He frees us from…

Thus, the text told mankind one of the most important stories: the story of Creation. Genesis 1 described the first six days where God created everything from nothing. All creatures were created by God, and…

The story of Israel’s conquest of Canaan can, like many of the other stories of the Hebrew Bible, can be explained as reflections of the religious, political, and societal beliefs of their composers and editors. As a historical piece, the account of Israel’s conquest of Canaan fails to match the current archeological understanding of the Canaanite settlements mentioned in The Book of Joshau. The inaccuracies fail to reflect an accurate historical model, but they suggest that the Book of Joshua…

After the Israelite’s were delivered by God through supernatural means (as they walked through the Dead Sea on dry land), Moses was requested by YHVH to meet with Him on the mountain. The purpose was to give the people His law and what would be required of them as God’s chosen elect. As Moses was gone for a significant amount of time the people got restless and demanded that Aaron make them a god of gold. In light of this treachery Aaron commanded that the people give of the spoils of their…

inconsistent and untruthful. They make decisions based on their own passions. Therefore, the voice should be given to the first class, whom he considered to be God 's chosen people. He thought they had a special privilege simply because they were born into the upper class. Hamiltonians, those who supported the ideas of Alexander Hamilton, generally consisted of bankers, merchants, manufacturers, and other wealthy persons. He went as far as to wish to raise voting qualifications because it would…
