Thesis: William Blake’s lyric “The Lamb” is a simple child’s song, in which he alludes to Christianity and some of its foundational beliefs. Introduction Quotation/Opening statement Thesis statement Summary Form Analysis Form Symbolism Conclusion Ingelisse Diaz Dr. Rock English 102-B40 Turabian 23 September 2014 William Blake’s “The Lamb” The Lamb is a poem written by the English poet William Blake (1757-1827). He is regarded as an early Romantic poet. His poems seem to have a lyric characteristic. Blake was a religion seeker, but not a Christian, however, “He warmly declared that all he knew is in the Bible.
Phineas, as shown in the passage, remains unfazed by the war and continues to reflect his innocence. Gene’s diction throughout his narration helps to reveal Finny’s personality, but also hints to the major theme of war. For example, Gene recalls,”…I bent cheerfully over to help him up,” this shows how despite the fact that Finny had turned on Gene and later on everyone, Gene still happily helped Finny up. This reflects his personality because it is nearly impossible to become angry at Phineas, his constant fun-loving attitude, rubs off on others. Finny’s personality is also reflected in Gene’s diction when Gene says how Finny had a “steadily widening grin,” when he “was driven down beneath a blizzard of snowballs.” This exemplifies Phineas’ personality because he was at his happiest when the tables were turned against him and there would be no chance of any distinct winners or losers.
Three things are at the heart of the covenant, of which is a one sided promise; Land (Canaan), Blessings (to and through the Abrahamic lineage), and Descendants (of which all nations and people are blessed/cursed). As one studies the Abrahamic Covenant, reason for faith and obedience in the face of the unknown and misunderstood becomes a prevalent theme. The following chart chronologically (note headings below, with brief explanation) explores the Abrahamic Covenant; GENESIS REFERENCE | ADDRESSED TO | CIRCUMSTACES UNDER WHICH IT WAS REITERATED | “INGREDIENTS” WHICH COMPOSE THE COVENANT | DEVELOPMENT IN THE BOOK OF GENESIS | ANY CHANGE IN CONTENT OR EMPHASIS | Instances by Chapter and Who was What was the What elements How was it What is seen Verse where the covenant the verse(s) context of the of the promise being disclosed as a shift Is found being instance were included and/or revealed people, place, directed to blessing, requirements.

James 1:19 (KJV) says, “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” Taking the correct actions when listening will allow me to mend broken relationship due to lack of communication or listening skills. A good course of action to improving communication and listening skills will help in my future career in the human service
5: Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; 6: I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7: Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Jeremiah 14:8: O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? 9: Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

HGP1. Running Head: HISTORY GUIDED BY A PROMISE History Guided by a Promise Darius Smith Grand Canyon University BIB 113 July 18, 2009 HGP 2. History Guided by a Promise God declares in Genesis 12 his universal intention: there is still to be a “blessing for all the nations,” but it will now come through his covenant through a single individual, Abraham. This covenant reflects exactly the creation triangle, only now on a smaller scale: God, Israel, and the land. The election of Israel and the promise of land are thus to be set in the context of God’s ultimate purpose for salvation of humanity and the recreation of all the earth; they were not ends in themselves, but means to a greater end.
You are a treasure that no thing can measure; You have been manna for our souls. We hold you so dear; we wish you could stay near; But God has given you loftier goals.

And some day, if it’s God’s will, We will all make it over the hil And happily meet you at Heaven’s
Martin Luther King Junior “At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love.” (Martin Luther King Jr., pg. 8). King loved to love, and felt love was the only way to live. He persisted, struggled, and put every last bit of strength into a cause that he whole-heartedly believed in. “If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live.” (A Testament of Hope, pg.
Yet another way Epictetus suggests for staying content can be seen when he speaks of how you treat your own morals when one is around others: “Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act conformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don't talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought. For remember that in this manner Socrates also universally avoided all ostentation” (46). Once again Epictetus stresses commitment, but in this instance he appears to be saying that one should be committed to following their own philosophy instead of trying to teach their philosophy to others. When he uses the metaphor of being at an “entertainment”, he speaks of simply eating as you feel one is supposed to eat and not lecturing others on how people in general should eat.
