Moses’ Affection April Morning, by Howard Fast, is a novel that depicts what it was like for a 15 year old boy, Adam Cooper, fighting in the Revolutionary War in Lexington. His struggles began with his father, who is the antagonist, Moses Cooper. Moses Cooper is a character who is strict, strong-willed, and loving. Moses was a major character in the fact that he was the reason his son, Adam, became the man that he had become. “If just once in all my born days you’d say a good thing to me” (Fast 3), Moses stated. Moses wanted Adam to be raised the way that Moses was raised and respect it. Adam did not like how strict his father was to him and did not want to be raised like he was. “Maybe it’s time I just went and did something without my father” …show more content…
(Fast 41), said Adam. Adam wanted to start making his own decisions and become a man. Moses’ strong-will represents his feelings toward his family and community.
He was a leader in Lexington and a dynamic character in this novel. Moses made it clear that he did not want any accidents or casualties in his community. Ironically he was one of the first casualties in the war. Moses stated, “Strong feelings demand strong words.” (Fast 31) He was passionate about his religion and about the kind of man he wanted to be. The love Moses showed was tough for Adam to understand. Moses was a very strict parent but only because he loved his family so much and wanted them to respect him and their mother. Moses questioned, “How could any man love a son more than I love that boy?” (Fast 45). Moses loved Adam deeply and did not want him to join the army. He did not think it was the Christian thing to do but realized he needed to respect Adam’s decision to start becoming a man. Moses wanted the rest of his family to know that he loved Adam as well. He stated, “You know how much he means to me.” (Fast 46) Moses’ strong-will, strictness, and love towards Adam and the rest of his family made him the person he was. This story showed how much a war can do in 24 hours. I believe that Moses died assured that his son could take over and be the man of the family. Moses would have been proud of the way that Adam responded to what had all happened that

As the sun shines bright, tension unravels and everyone at Devon loosens up including the teachers as Gene explains on page 23, “Now on these clear June days in New Hampshire they appeared to uncoil, they seemed to believe that we were with them about half of the time, and only spent the other half trying to makes fools of them.” The summer days are filled with happy-go-lucky antics that seem to come with no serious consequence; exactly how a young child would spend everyday of his life as a youthful boy.

The movie the Ten Commandments is about Moses life. He is an Egyptian Prince who later finds out he is Hebrew. Throughout the beginning of the movie, the viewers are able to see the contrast of how the Egyptians lived versus the Hebrews. Once Moses finds out he is a Hebrew, he goes off to be with them. The Hebrew people believe Moses is the chosen one and they follow Moses in order to find freedom from the Egyptians. Moses does exactly that and leads the Hebrews away from the Egyptians to their own land. While they are their Moses presents his people with the Ten Commandments given to him by God on Mount Sinai.
Moses was a large man who could argue his way out of anything, his reputation for argumentation was known throughout the entire area. He held very strongly to his views and would not budge for anything, except perhaps his mother Goody Cooper. Because of Moses’ gift of gab he was a member of the Lexington Committee. On the night of Moses’ committee meeting Adam asked if he could go with to the meetinghouse with his father. Moses told him that the day he started acting and thinking like a man then Adam could go. So instead of going to the meeting with his father Adam met his cousin Ruth Simmons. Ruth also happened to be Adam’s best friend and love interest, and since they were just “second-cousins, once removed” that made it alright for him to have feeling her.

The play “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry has many interesting characters. In my opinion, the most fascinating character is Ruth because of her many emotions and captivating personality. She goes through extreme emotions in the play such as happiness, sadness, anger, stress, and confusion. Ruth is very independent, firm, kind, witty, and loving.
Solomon Chandler is also a very influential character in Adam’s development after his ordeal at the common. Solomon’s calm attitude and words of wisdom helped Adam cope with the pain from his father’s death. Solomon tells Adam to let out his emotions because that is normal. He also explains to Adam why he should have a deep sense of respect for his fears, which are the Redcoat soldiers, and the only way to overcome them is to face them. During the whole period of time when Adam and Solomon are walking through the countryside, Solomon acts as a shoulder for Adam to cry on. Solomon is also a temporary “replacement” for Adam’s father in that he acts as a father figure towards Adam.

Noah is the one of the main characters of The Notebook. He is the hero of this novel. Noah represents true love and true loyalty. In a way, The Notebook is similar to every modern day romance movie, and Noah represents the “dream man” that all the girls always imagine of having. The characters in movies are used to symbolize ideas, and in this novel, Noah represents true, faithful, committed love. Noah remains loyal to Allie even in the situation where he is unsure whether they will ever meet again or not.
To begin with, I would follow Moses out of Egypt seeing as he cared about the Hebrews. For instance, when God got Moses’s attention, it wasn’t necessary of Moses to listen and go back to the Israelites, but he did anyways. Also, according to Document 2, it tells us that Moses killed an Egyptian that was beating up a Hebrew. This means that he wanted to protect the Hebrew from getting hurt. So although the text doesn’t directly say that Moses was kind, we

Moses is related to the Prophet Abraham. He is a direct descendant from Abraham in fact Abraham is Moses’ great-great-great-great grandfather. Other than being a descendant, Moses demonstrated he had the faith of Abraham. Moses possessed the promise of Abraham by being one of the first prophets and leaders of God's people for then until God's promise could be fulfilled with the first coming of Jesus.
The events that took place at Mount Sinai are a central theme to Judaism and remain one of the most important events in the Jewish faith. The events that took place at Mount Sinai must be considered from each and every possible viewpoint, to truly understand just how important those events were to Judaism and the people that follow the religion. The stage itself in which the events took place on, are near unimaginable, as they take into account some of the most powerful scenery in all of the world. God’s actual presence with Moses on the mountain paralleled this to the same extreme, where this very moment would forever change the relationship that Jews would maintain with their
