One other major Biblical reference can be seen with the Joad family’s preparation for the flood, closely referencing the time when Noah spent his time packing up the ark with animals. Another Biblical reference that can be seen indirectly in the novel is with Jim Casey and with Jesus Christ. This allusion can be seen because Casey is symbolic to Christ in the way that he takes leadership throughout the novel, mainly with giving praise to the family. Parallel to Casey’s reference with Christ, the character of Pa Joad can be viewed as a true Christian man who struggles in the world that he lives in because of the many conflicts he faces throughout his journey. Also throughout the novel, the migrant movement from Oklahoma to California can be seen as a Biblical reference to the mass Exodus of the Jews.

Patricia Anne P. Molera 05 July 2012 BSE-1A Theology The story of the parting of the Red Sea came from the Bible which tells about how Moses saved the Israelites from the Egyptian with the help of God by Him helping Moses to part the Red Sea to let the Israelites pass through it and to get to the other side. But the question is, did it really happen, or is it just another “metaphor” of the Bible? After discovering that the story of Adam and Eve is just a symbolism of God’s creation of man, a question like this came up in my mind. Are the other stories also a type of symbolism? As this question popped up, I went through some scientific research.
In C.S. Lewis’s book The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, many assumptions can be made. There are tremendous similarities between Christian biblical stories and the happenings of The Dawn Treader.

This statement provides more information on Beowulf’s family history. Beowulf’s family history possibly had an effect on his braveness and eagerness to earn power and fame by taking on various battles throughout the text. Beowulf begins with the narrator telling the story of Shield Sheafson leading up to his funeral, which in my opinion foreshadows Beowulf’s funeral at the end of the poem. Early in the text we see that the narrator may be Christian, which is surprising for this piece of literature. The narrator states: “Afterwards a boy-child was born to Shield, a cub in the yard, a comfort sent by God to that nation.
Muhammad believed “that the Arab people were also the descendants of Abraham through his first son to an Egyptian slave girl.” When Muhammad was teaching and preaching, many of his friends became enemies. They hated him for speaking out and turning against the shrines and “other objects of worship”. However, this did not stop him. He continued to preach to a small group of people in Mecca. The Islamic teachings brought the
