Frederick Douglas, many details about the evils of
slavery that I never knew existed appeared to me

reading this is that it is absolutely wrong to own
a man and take his freedom. Douglas described what
it feels to be in slaves shoes. Douglas explained
in his narrative that he was withheld from many
details of his life. Throughout his entire

Book Of Job God Wanted
1,168 words
The book of Job is one of the most prolific and
unique books of the bible. It is a mix of
narrative and poetry, and is distinctive in the
fact that it deals with the individuals (Jobs)
relationship to God, as oppose to that of the
groups. It is these differences along with the
somewhat radical picture of God that is presented
which makes Job quite different than the rest of
the bible, and often so interesting. One of the
fundamental themes that arises in Job is the
different imago-deis, or image...

with live dinosaurs a couple of years ago on
another island. He has pretty much blocked that
experience from his mind. Anyway, it also talks
