1) Explain what is meant in the bible by the phrase ‘God is good’. (25marks) Firstly, we must understand what is meant by ‘good’ well good is that which is morally right. With God it is said in the bible “oh give thanks to the lord, for he is good; for His loving-kindness is everlasting (Psalms), another way is the 10 commandments which shows God setting the standard of what is morally right and wrong. Another way of showing of how ‘God is good’ is by creation in genesis 1 and 2 which shows God either creating the world or how he is crafting everything, also in the bible of how God has preformed miracles and in todays society. In the bible there are many passages, which say ‘God is good’ for example in James ‘every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow’ this is clearly saying that God is the source of goodness.
Megan’s Talk 7-13 Obedience I am going to start out with a scripture from D&C 93:24, 26-28. It says, “The spirit of truth is of God, and no man can receiveth the fullness unless he keepeth his commandments.

Evidently, the two poems are associated with each other in the way that they both portray two young boys of cultural differences (one boy being black and the other, white). Blakes intention of using the two culturally different boys is to show how oblivious a white boy can be about his dilemmas compared to a black boy who longs to be white and believes he is such on the inside. This has clearly taken a toll on Blake and has given him a view of how children are innocent, yet have fallen victim to cultural differences at such a youthful age. The tone throughout “The Little Black Boy” suggests that the boy is putting himself below his fairer-skinned counterpart and longing for his love as if it’s some sort of validation. Being of Black descent, the boy has automatically perceived and become aware that he is different in the world, and it seems as though he believes he is of less importance in contrast with his fellow antagonist.
