Comparing The Hymn of the Aton to Psalm23

The Hyumn to the Aton adn Psalm 23 both speak on human existence and how God is with us always.The two are so similar that if someone were to mix Psalm 23 and the hymn up, it would be complicated to distinguish between them.The Hymn of the Aton and Psalm 23 are in many ways saying the same things.

In the beginning of Psalm 23 it starts off by saying "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want."In the Hymn of the Aton you can find where it states "The Aton of the day, great of majesty; Thou suppliest their necessities."Both speak on how God provides not what you may want, but what you need.

Following the Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want, Psalm 23 goes on to say "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters."The hymn has a statement which says all beast are content with their pasturage.Both of these show how God put a sense of peace and calmness over the land. Look for more stuff on my site.

Another part of Psalm 23 says "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."The Hymn of theAton talked about how the land is in darkness, in the manner of death; thou drivest away the darkness and givest thy rays.This could be seen as thoug it may look rough sometimes but he is always their to shine light on the situation.

Death Row Inmate Sue Basso

S

1uzanne Basso was born on May 1, 154. She grew up in a household with eight other children, and two parents who turned to alcohol quite often. Suzanne and her siblings were subjected to both physical and mental abuse growing up. This abuse led her to become a teenage delinquent, and she often ran into problems with sex and theft. She got married in the early 170's and had two children. She would often have sex with other men while her husband and children were in the house and aware of what she was doing. Basso and her husband sexually and physically abused their two children constantly, and her husband was even arrested for molesting their daughter. She began a relationship with Carmine Basso in 193, and her former husband moved out of the way. She took Carmine;s last name and began to introduce him as her husband even though they never married. In 197, she took a trip to New Jersey, reportedly to meet Carmine;s family. Carmine Basso was found dead in the office of his security firm in Houston during this trip, apparently from natural causes. With Carmine dead, Basso had no source of income. While in New Jersey, she met Buddy Musso at a church bazaar. Musso was a mentally handicapped 59-year-old man. It was easy for Basso to trick him into thinking they were in love. Musso got on a bus in 198 and left New Jersey to live with Basso in Texas. For the next ten weeks, Basso and her associates horrendously tortured Musso. Basso, her son James, her friend Bernice Miller, Miller;s children Craig and Hope Ahrens, and Hope Ahrens; fianc; Terence Singleton were all charged with murder when Buddy Musso;s body was found in a ditch near Galena Park in Houston. Basso;s son James immediately confessed to the killing, but made sure the police knew his mother was the mastermind. Police figured out that the motive was money. Basso had just created a life insurance policy for Musso, and she was to make ..

Analysis of Three Literary Journeys

Journeys are a path to knowledge and through them we gain a greater understanding of ourselves, others and the world around us. Journeys force individuals to view their place in their environment in new ways transcending barriers we never thought possible.

Amir's search for redemption in Khaled Hosseini's historical novel "The Kite Runner" (you can also read about it here 

https://freebooksummary.com/redemption-the-kite-runner-72937) changes him as he finally learns to stand up for his convictions. Similarly, Hogg in Roger Spottiswoode's "Children of the Silk Road" and the character in Robert Frost's poem "The Road not Taken" reflects decisions that alter an individuals perceptions of themselves and their environment.

Individuals motivated by self transformation may chose to undertake a journey that will facilitate change. Set in the background of Afghanistan, "The Kite Runner" explores the concepts of sin and redemption in the rigorous Afghan society. Khaled Hosseini uses Amir, the protagonist, as a vehicle to convey the transformations and greater understanding of an individual through the road to redemption. The retrospective rather than a strictly chronological structure, the reader has the power of hindsight, thus highlighting the enduring nature of sin.

In addition, the compose manifests the inner journey with the use offirst person and past tense, hence emphasizing the idea of the past. In doing so, the author allows the reader to gain a deeper understanding of Amir's experiences and maturity. Hosseini highlights the adversities of inner journeys through the characterization of Amir as being a coward and a person who "won't stand up for himself".

The cowardice and self centered personality of Amir is demonstrated by the use offirst person and lamb motif in "I actually aspired to cowardice, because the alternative, the real reason I was running, was that Assef was right: Nothing was free in this world. Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I had to slay, to win Baba".

The Scarlet Letter and I Tituba Black Witch of Salem

Strong female characters emerge as victorious in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, The Scarlet Letter, and Maryse Cond;'s novel, I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem. In both novels, we witness females suffer humiliating and degrading circumstances under the hands of Puritan societies. Despite their circumstances, these women remain true to themselves and refuse to In, The Scarlet Letter, Hester suffers great pressure to name the father of her child.She refuses to answer and, as a result, bears the weight of both sinners' transgressions.

Hester's punishment is to stand on the platform of the pillory in the town for three hours and she is also condemned "for the remainder of her natural life to wear a mark of shame upon her bosom" (Hawthorne 58).This scene allows us to see the importance the Puritans placed on good behavior.Punishment was also used as a deterrent for others who may be considering similar crimes. The narrator expresses how Hester was never able to escape her "sin." For example, he states, "In all seasons of calamity, indeed, whether general or for individuals, the outcast for society at once found her
place" (14).

In addition, we are told, "Society was inclined to show its former victim a more benign countenance that she cared to be favored with, or, perchance, she deserved" (15).Again, we are shown how the Puritan society treated sin and sinners with an unforgiving attitude.In fact, the narrator points out, "The truth was that the little Puritans, being of the most intolerant brood that ever lived, had got a vague idea of something outlandish, unearthly, or at variance with ordinary fashions, in the mother and child; and therefore scorned them in their hearts" (87). The hatred can be seen when two wayfarers wandered into the town and recognize who Hester is and began to fling mud at them.

ADHD

Randy was a 5 year old child in my kindergarten class.He was a typical child that was smart in certain areas for his age. The first few days of class I noticed some instances so I decided to log some of Randy`s behaviors.I observed that transitions were especially difficult for Randy.I decided to observe Randy for three to four weeks and make a daily log of his behavior in the classroom environment and outside environments before I made any rash decisions such as alerting the parents or the school counselor.I did, however, consult with a more experienced teacher that also taught kindergarten about how she has handled some of these situations.

As the days went on I noticed how Randy was having a difficult time with the transition from recess to class. As soon as I would get the class settled down, Randy would always seem to shout out or not sit still. All of the other children noticed and I would try to play it off and not draw anymore attention to him than what he was already receiving by his fellow classmates. I did, however, find myself at times getting angry with him. Sometimes his peers would laugh and giggle.I could see them start to isolate themselves from Randy.

Randy could feel this too; he felt like nobody liked him or at times he felt like he was letting me down.I would try my best to assure him that the children did like him and that I liked him too.I tried my best to make it easier for Randy.

Randy had an inability to sit for long periods of time at his desk.If he would get bored with what we were doing or would just wanted to move, he would get up out of his seat and would just wonder around the room.I started off by patiently ask him to sit back down in his seat.When I realized that that wasn`t going to work I tried a different tactic.I would just quietly go up to him and tell him that if he wanted to go get a drink of water he could do that.
