Casey and David In the poem “Casey at Bat” and story “David and Goliath,” a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. The first similarity is that both Casey and David are determined to accomplish their goals. In the “David and Goliath” story, the text says, “ 48 When Goliath started forward, David ran toward him.” Would you have had the determination to let two pitches go like Casey did or to run towards a man that is 3 feet taller than yourself and has a sword that weighs more than you? Another similarity between the two stories is that both Casey and David were confident. David was confident that his God would protect him and Casey was over confident because the text says, “And now the leather–covered sphere came The first difference is that Casey is cocky but david is not. Casey is so cocky when goes up to bat, the text says, “And when, responding to the cheers, he lightly doffed his hat, No stranger in the crowd could doubt ‘twas Casey at the bat.” If Casey hadn’t been so cocky and used his first two opportunities, his team may have won, however David was calm and prepared to fight this battle. The second difference between the two stories is that Casey was important before the story and David was not. Casey was already popular before the story, the text says, “They thought, if only Casey could get but a whack at that – We’d put up even money, now, with Casey at the bat.” In the story David and Goliath, David was just a shepherd boy, nothing important. The last difference was that David was trustworthy but Casey was not. In the story David and Goliath, the text says, “20 David obeyed his father. He got up early the next morning and left someone else in charge of the sheep; then he loaded the supplies and started off,” David obeyed his father and then killed Goliath. Casey thought that he could carry the team to victory, obviously not. In conclusion, there are many similarities and differences between the two stories, David and Goliath and Casey at the Bat, you just
The author of Casey at the Bat classifies the poem as humorous. The author most likely decided this due to the rhyme and irony in the poem. As mentioned before, Casey at the Bat includes humor such as rhyme, examples include the following; "If only Casey could but get a whack at that - we'd put up even money now, with Casey at the bat.", and "So upon that stricken multitude grim melancholy sat, for these seemed but little chance of Casey getting to the bat." The other example of humor is irony. In the end of Casey at the Bat, Casey strikes out. At first Casey was like a super hero, because he seemed to have super human strength and appeared unable to be defeated. Casey's strength is exaggerated in the following text, "And now the air is shattered
In the poem, “Casey at the bat”, and the story “David and Goliath, a comparison of David and Casey shows differences and similarities. The first similarity I will be talking about is the fact that both their towns(or teams) are counting on them. In “Casey at the Bat” Casey’s home team is counting on him to get a home so they can win the game. I know this because it says “It knocked upon the mountain and recoiled upon the flat, For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat.” in Casey at the bat. This means that everyone in his town is sure that Casey will not get out like the others before him, and they are counting on him to score. In “David and Goliath”, Goliath says “ Choose your best soldier to come out and fight me! 9 If he can kill
David and Goliath is the story of a young shepherd whom lacking of any kind of combat training, managed to overcome a giant, who was sophisticated in combat tactics, just using his wit. In modern times, that act is used as an analogy to compare people who against all odds overcome a difficult situation in their lives.
Have you ever seen Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark? In that movie if you’re paying attention you can see a faithful reproduction of the biblical account of the Ark of the Covenant – the most sacred of all objects from the Bible. It is gilded with Gold, with fine woods and carvings – with the figures of two cherubs (keruvim – those who bring God close) on top – wings outstretched and barely touching at the point where God’s presence might one day descend and perhaps glow brightly like a metaphoric shining light of truth and knowledge.
... almost nothing alike from a superficial aspect. The stories have different historical contexts and they simply don’t have much in common to the average audience. It is easy to contrast the stories, but deep within certain elements, the stories can be linked in several ways.
is a fight just to survive for the next day . As a child David is taught a very harsh way of
1. In the book, the father tries to help the son in the beginning but then throughout the book he stops trying to help and listens to the mother. If I had been in this same situation, I would have helped get the child away from his mother because nobody should have to live like that. The father was tired of having to watch his son get abused so eventually he just left and didn’t do anything. David thought that his father would help him but he did not.
The stories are similar in the fact that both authors write according to the time era in which they are currently in. However, the context differs because the time periods are quite the opposite. Jonathan Edwards was writing during a “period of new religious fervor” called “The Great Awakening” (Edwards 178). In his sermon he is promoting the importance of following God. He
Heroes, the unordinary beings with extravagant abilities, from powers and competence to skills and talents. Heroes are people who are idealized by society for their courage and individuality. Iconic and well recognized heroes like Hercules, Superman, Spiderman and Achilles are some of the few heroes known around. All heroes have a similarity to each other, for example Beowulf and Batman. While both can be considered great heroes, they differ significantly, yet are similar in other ways.
The story of David and Goliath can be thought of as a timeless tale of
In conclusion, There are many things to compare and contrast about The Battle of the Alamo and the Goliad Massacre. They have different people involved, different purposes, different outcomes, and more. Some of them are even
Michelangelo’s David does not react with the surroundings but it stands alone with the little movements disguised behind it. The sculpture brings out David as a soldier preparing for war and not a person engaged in a battle (Miller, Vandome, & McBrewster, 2010). The hands are larger than normal and the arms are longer than his body. This is meant to illustrate the renaissance period. In contrast, the Bernini’s David has aspects of motion, showing that he was already engaged in the battle with Goliath. The idea of movement is enhanced by the loosely flowing robes. In addition, the sculpture demonstrates that unlike Michelangelo’s David that has longer hands, Bernini’s David has contracted muscles. The Michelangelo’s sculpture was created during Renascence period while the Bernini’s sculpture was done during the Baroque period.
The writing style of an author plays a giant role in expressing certain details and letting the reader become more drawn into the piece of literature. In the story summary David and Goliath, which we get from the first book of Samuel chapter seventeen verses one through fifty eight. This popular bible story expresses how a young and weak teenage boy named David can take down a giant with name of Goliath with faith in God. The use of different elements used throughout the summary such as diction, imagery, and language gives off hopeful feel because the main point of the story is for the reader to understand that anything is possible with God.
The biggest difference from both stories is the religion and the number of Gods that are in each story. In the “Changing Woman and the Hero Twins after the Emergence of people” the Navajo mentions multiple gods when he said, “…Talking God and Calling God might pass in and out…”(38). Usually, when there is more than one God in a story they will be Gods of a particular thing. There being more than one God allows for a deeper relationship between one God and a character in the story. A great example of this is with the twins and their father, the Sun God. This is very different from “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” because the twins are the children of the Sun God, where as in “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” there is only one God that is the creator of everything.
