    Jacob's name means "deceiver" and he lives up to his name. His deceitfulness began with stealing his brother's birthright. One day, Esau came in from the fields famished and found Jacob cooking a meal. Jacob offered his half-starved brother, "Give me the birthright and I'll give you some soup." Esau being starved, sold his birthright to Jacob. (Genesis 25: 29-34). Sometime later when Isaac thought he was going to die, he called Esau into his tent and told him to kill an animal and make him some soup. Isaac's wife overheard this and connived a plan with Jacob to deceive Isaac. Jacob disguised himself as Esau and obtained his blind and dying father's blessing (Genesis 27).

  • Mr Hyde Eulogy

    568 Words  | 2 Pages

    Within every being exists temptations, whether it be quiescent or dynamic, which fluctuates from one individual to another. Commonly negative, temptations ascend from lesser qualities of man and expose an individual to develop even more reprehensible ambitions. The story of a one man’s dark wishes is explored in Robert Louis Stevenson’s novella, “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”. Properly termed, Stevenson perused the unnerving case of a respectable, proletariat-class doctor, who becomes associated and obsessed with Mr Hyde. It is this presence of the “duality of human nature that is created consistently throughout the Gothic Literature”.

  • The Red Tent by Diamant

    It is at this point in the story, Diamant’s use of creative midrash is at its best. Midrashim is used to forge clever and innovative stories from loop-holes in biblical text. It is a way of elaborating on what was already written and shedding light onto those who are pushed aside as meaningless characters or events. In chapter 7 Diamant successfully transforms what was once looked upon as brutal rape into an animated love saga. In order to understand how she is able to pull of such an imaginative tale, we must look to the biblical narrative itself. Shortly after Jacob's reunion with his twin brother Esau, Jacob settles in the city of Shechem. There, his dau...

  • Theodore Roethke's Elegy For Jane

    Theodore Roethke analyzes the complex attitude in an "Elegy for Jane." In the beginning the tone was reminiscent, heartfelt and warm bringing up cherishing moments between the speaker and Jane. However, the tone shifted as the piece developed going from a warm heartfelt poem to a dark sorrowing work. Roethke accomplishes this transition by using dominant literary devices throughout the work such as personification, similes, and imagery. These devices help us understand that the teacher loves and cares for Jane but is fearful of letting her go.

  • An Analysis Of The Eulogy Of Robert Frost

    711 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the eulogy that President John F. Kennedy gave for the lately departed poet, Robert Frost, only three out of the four common elements that Kunkel and Dennis found in eulogies can be found in this specific eulogy. The elements I found in this eulogy are positive reappraisal, praise, and problem-focused coping while self-disclosure of emotion, credibility, affirmation of vivid past relationships, and continuation of interactive bonds could not be found. John Kennedy imminently starts off with a positive reappraisal: “Robert Frost was one of the granite figures of our time in America. He was supremely two things—an artist and an American,” (lines 3-4). Kennedy is telling the thousands listening that Robert Frost not only had a good life but

  • Comparing Women in Anna Akhmatova’s Lot’s Wife, Crucifixion, and Rachel

    The Biblical account of Rachel and Jacob’s relations gives only the details of their encounters and the fact that Jacob loved Rachel so much that he was willing to work for seven years in order to have her as his wife. When he is deceived and takes Leah instead, the Bible makes no mention of Rachel’s feelings, which were undoubtedly overpowering. The beautiful young daughter, Rachel, who is stabbed in the back by her sister and father, demands more detail; how deeply did this deception affect her? Through imagery, use of detail, and figurative language Akhmatova begins to op...

  • God Works Through Jacob to Help Achieve His Divine Plan

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the early stages of the cycle, God works through Jacob’s mother, Rebekah, to do much of His work. God begins by using Rebekah when He informs her that she will have two children, and that the younger one shall rule over the older. After Rebekah conceived and bore her children, God stayed with Jacob and gave him the opportunities necessary to succeed. When the children were young, God provided a situation where Jacob could buy Esau’s birthright for some red pottage. As they grew older, God’s words stayed with Rebekah and reinforced the idea for her to support the younger child, Jacob, over the older child, Esau. Her favoring “support” is best exemplified when Rebekah overhears Isaac telling Esau to cook him food and after, he will give Esau the blessing of the firstborn. Instead of allowing this to happen, Rebekah tells Jacob to fetch some goats for her to cook and, “‘...bring it to your father to eat, so that he may bless you before he dies.’”(Gen 27:10). Rebekah’s actions clearly have roots in what God has told her the future will hold. She works as an extension of God to have Jacob ...

    Today, the most difficult day in my family’s life, we gather to say farewell to our son, brother, fiancé and friend.  To those of you here and elsewhere who know Dylan you already are aware of the type of person he was and these words you will hear are already in your memory.  To those who were not as fortunate, these words will give you a sense of the type of man he was and as an ideal for which we should strive. My son has been often described as a gentle soul.  He was pure of heart and had great sensitivity for the world around him.  He had a way with people that made them feel comfortable around him and infected others to gravitate toward him.  Dylan exuded kindness and pulled generosity and altruism out from everyone he touched.  He was everyone's best friend.
