  • Comparison Of Jonah And The Sermon In Moby-Dick

    380 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the Book of Jonah and Chapter 9, “The Sermon” in Moby-Dick, there are similarities and differences in diction, descriptions, and graphics. These two brilliant pieces of literature use diction to provide the reader with a clear understanding of the important religious roles involved in the life of a sailor. With the help of Melville and the Book of Jonah, the reader is brought back in the past to relive these events as they happened. What is most intriguing is the fact that through the Book of Jonah and “The Sermon”, detailed descriptions allow the reader to see Jonah’s experience with God and the “fish” through two different perspectives. The use of graphics support the writer’s descriptions, while creating a clear picture of Jonah’s experience with God and what lies in the future for the sailors.

  • Short Story About Living With the Guilt of Murder

    It was late I thought. Almost midnight yet I was still unable to sleep. I stared thoughtlessly at the moving shadows mumbling to myself, "it was just a story" but in my heart I knew it wasn't, it was more than a story, much, much more. Then, a crow appeared in the middle of my room. The crow stared at me with such intensity that I fell backwards into the safety of my pillow. I stared at the crow in shock as it disappeared into my closet and that's when I heard it, a long piercing whine that was like a nail to a chalkboard. I prayed that it would go away, I prayed with all my heart but it stayed there continuing its long whine. It was then when I caught a glimpse of it. I saw two glowing bloodshot eyes stare at me. I let out a scream born from terror and almost immediately my dad came bursting into my room. He stared at me with confusion but all I could do was point a shaking finger at my closet door. Cautiously, my father marched into the closet door only to find nothing inside. Then, without warning, the closet door slammed shut along with my father still inside.

  • Jonah Versus Historical Jonah

    1247 Words  | 3 Pages

    When we read and consider Jonah, its important to know about the historical Jonah in 2nd Kings as well. The historical Jonah was known to be an adviser to king Jeraboam II. He was responsible for expanding the boarders of Israel from the Euphrates river to the Red sea. Not only was he known of expanding the boarders in Israel, he was also known for making Israel a very prosperous nation. When you consider all that the historical Jonah did for his time, he would have been well known by the people of Israel in a positive light. It is possible that the writer of Jonah is using the historical Jonah's name so that the people of Israel can connect this fictional character back to the historical figure. The writer is doing this 1). to catch audiences attention using a well know figure of Israel and 2). show that the people of Israel are behaving like the historical Jonah. Although Jonah (who represents prophetic Israel) is connected to YHWH, the mariners (who are pagans) are more ethical than

  • Analysis of the Book of Jonah

    2165 Words  | 5 Pages

    We often read stories in the Bible without taking the historical context into consideration. As a result, we become unaware of the story’s historical validity. In some cases, stories are used to share a moral concept, or used as a tool to teach a lesson. The Book of Jonah is an example that will be used to determine if this particular story describes an accurate recount of history, or if it teaches the readers a lesson. In the Book of Jonah, Jonah (the prophet) is instructed to go to a pagan city (Nineveh) to preach to the Ninevites, hoping that they will repent for their sins. However, he challenges God and travels to Tarshish instead. Jonah receives consequences for his actions and Nineveh is eventually forgiven by God. Although the story of Jonah appears to entail a historically accurate event on the surface, it is, however, used to teach a lesson that God is the ultimate decider of who is worthy of forgiveness. Analyzing the historical context, explicating the verses of the book, and interpreting the book as a whole will allow a clearer understanding of the true purpose of the Book of Jonah, which is to convey a satirical story with a very important lesson.

    The Story of Jonah in the whale is one of the most incredible stories to ever take place in the Bible. It is arguably the most well-known stories in the Bible, alongside: The Ark, David and Goliath, Adam and Eve, and David and the Lion’s Den. The question is though, Did Jonah and the whale really happen? Did Jonah really get swallowed up by a big fish and spit out? Some scholars say that Jonah and the Whale was just simply a parable, and that it never actually happen. If this is the case does it take anything away from the story, and does it have the same importance?

  • Book Of Jonah Research Paper

    1309 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this essay I will take the position that the book of Jonah was intended to follow the unfinished journey of a prideful christian, and to show the involvement of an altruistic God. One of the major themes found in the book of Jonah is the relationship between God and Jonah. First, Jonah flees from God’s will, then he turns back to God, and finally, Jonah preaches God’s message of repentance to the people of Nineveh, but sadly, it doesn’t end there. Jonah was called as a prophet for God, but he had a detrimental problem in his character; Jonah was prideful. This causes Jonah to lose sight of his mission, and thus the unfinished journey of Jonah’s life is left in the hands of the reader.
