2 samuel 1-12

David was a great symbol in the bible and I admire him. He managed to unify what is basically Israel today. He had a great respect for his enemies and he never discouraged them or disreeocted them after he conquered the diferent peoples, he respected them and it is very important. It could be called sportsmanship and we could say that he did follow sportsmanship. He gave proper ceremonies for the ones who killed and that is something you should do in all moments in life and you dont necesarily need to kill someone to do it.

Samuel 1-16:31

David amd Goliath is a very simbolic and important or reknown part of the bible. It is when David a small person defeats Goliath which is a huge giant and defeat him I think with a Skull. It it is very simbolic as I said before because it is basically saying that a person passed a huge obstacle in its life, or for example when Millonarios defeats Nacional that we could say that David defeated Goliath. I like it alot because it tells me that there is nothing in life you cannot overcome , or abvsolutely anything you can do and in the most difficult times I try to remember that to give me strength. It also teaches us not to judge people or anything by tis appereance because it can really amaze you and most of the times we do and loose but at the end there is always a lesson to be learned.

Exodus 13:40

The continuation of the exodus is the rest of the journey of Moses and he leading the people out of Egypt to Israel. What a diferent image of God, I never thought this was going to be this way so drastically. I just cant wait to get to the new testament in which his image changes completely and it is just a diferent God. He is a loving comprehensible God who gave us life to enjoy it and he is forgivefull.

On the other side people always tend to critize the church and I think it is mainly because of this image left of God from the old testament. The church is just so diferent from that, it is a institution built on the principles of Jesus and ithelps us to make us stronger spiritually and many people think that the church controlls us because they get money out of us but actually its optional and many catholics tend to help.

Exodus 1:12

The exodus book has probably the part of the bible that I like the most and it is Moses. The Israelis ad nothing to do and the Egyptians acting in a smart way just went on putting taxes and also treating Israelis like dogs. God decided to speak to Moses and ask him to get the Israelis out and assured that he would be of any help. Before this, God punished the Egyptians and gave the plagues like the lobsters, the river with blood, and the light of death that finished by killing the son of the paraoh which was Ramses but I dont recall which.

After this Moses I think had the same relation as Noah, he was hope for mankind but in a smaller proportion. He was the light at the end of the tunnel and he finally was the savior like Noah was. It is intruiging and also how God favored his powers to one side and used them in all it's magnitude against the other. " In hard times you have to differ what is easy from what is right.

Genesis 11:28

Here something happened that I would've never expect and its how a diferent perspective I got from Abraham which even thought showed very loyal to God wasnt at all good. He didnt mind trading his wife who gave him the son which he most loved which was Isaac, and wasnt worried about killing him either when God asked him to do so. God is a vengative being as I've been recalling, and it is shown when he saves Isaac by permitting him to leave the town he was about to destroy it but unfortunately his wife became into stone by looking back. The family tree and genealogy is really, really confusing and intricating. This all changes in the new testament.

American Speech and its Fallacies

"This Government, as promised, has maintained the closest surveillance of the Soviet military buildup on the island of Cuba.
Within the past week, unmistakable evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island.
The purpose of these bases can be none other than to provide a nuclear strike capability against the Western Hemisphere....
Neither the United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation, large or small.
We no longer live in a world where only the actual firing of weapons represents a sufficient challenge to a nation's security to constitute maximum peril.
Nuclear weapons are so destructive and ballistic missiles are so swift, that any substantially increased possibility of their use or any sudden change in their deployment may well be regarded as a definite threat to peace."



This Speech is full of rethorics and one of the most clear one is when he says "America and other united nations wont tolerate this" and this is a generalization. He uses genetic falllacy because he hates Cuba and the USSR and talks about them as if they were all bad. He uses circumnstancial because he says the nuclear bombs and missiles might lead to something in the future. And I think

Genesis 5:11

The genesis is just getting better and better.now with Noah and how we can start to see the punishful God who tries to become good at the end. What Noah and it's arch try to represent hope for humanity that was placed in the hands of Noah by God. It was the chance for human kind to extend and to start what is a long history that of humanity. The God seen at the end is forgiving and good and it's like he's been multi-facetic.

Genesis 1:5

The genesis has always intrigued me. it is part of the old testament and it is very interesting to see how creation came to be. One of the points I can compare about the genesis is that the genesis pictures a God who can Forgeviful and good but also shows a God who punishes and is the one that tells us that we came to the world to suffer. But in the new testament the picture cha ges completely when Jesus comes to us and tells us. Apart from that I have always been fond of Adan and Eve and the garden with the forgiven fruit because it has become a methafore and I think it is a methapore. Tentation and curiosity have always overwhelmed us and we always want to do the forgiven, but how the fruit in a certain sense was good because it gave us knowledge. The creation which is described as made in 7 days even thought he rested on the seventh means that he took much time because seven was a symbol for alot.

Obama’s Lapels

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa – American flags are waving throughout this small eastern Iowa town, but you won’t find one attached to the lapel of Senator Barack Obama. And today, that has created a bit of a dustup on the campaign trail.
Let’s take this from the beginning.
In a television interview on Wednesday, Mr. Obama was asked why he wasn’t wearing an American flag on his suit. “Is this a fashion statement? Those have been on politicians since Sept. 12, 2001.” a reporter for KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids said.
“The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a pin,” Mr. Obama replied. “Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security.
“I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest,” he added. “Instead I’m gonna’ try to tell the American people what I believe what will make this country great and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism.”
The interview passed with little notice until this afternoon, when The Associated Press moved a story that included the quotes from Mr. Obama. Campaign aides, concerned that his remarks might be portrayed as unpatriotic, chose not to let the moment pass.
So Mr. Obama addressed the matter directly shortly after arriving here in Independence, where the crowd was oblivious to the back-and-forth.
“Somebody noticed I wasn’t wearing a flag lapel pin and I told folks, well you know what? I haven’t probably worn that pin in a very long time. I wore it right after 9/11. But after a while, you start noticing people wearing a lapel pin, but not acting very patriotic. Not voting to provide veterans with resources that they need. Not voting to make sure that disability payments were coming out on time.
“My attitude is that I’m less concerned about what you’re wearing on you lapel than what’s in your heart. And you show your patriotism by how you treat your fellow Americans, especially those who served. You show your patriotism by being true to our values and our ideals and that’s what we have to lead with is our values and our ideals.”
With that, Mr. Obama returned to his regularly scheduled speech here in Independence, where the town motto is, “America’s Fame Is In Our Name.”

Fort this article I have revealed a very important component fallacy which is Circular reasoning in which they ask him about why he isnt wearing the pin and he syas his motive but they continue to be repetitive with it. I also identified Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc becuause he explains his reason of why he's not wearing a US pin and he says it because it doesnt define his patriotism and how he has seen many peple wearing them wih no sense of patriotism therefore people arent very patriotic and that;s why he doesnt wear the pin. These are the only 2 fallacies I found for the article

Hebe and Ganymede, Daedalus, Adriadne

Hebe and ganymede, Daedalus, Adriadne

Hebe is the wife of Hercules and she is the goddess of youth. She blew it up in one situation with the gods and she lost her position. A small mistake cn give you huge dissapointment and it may change your life drastically even thought if it was unintentional, but the gods were to harsh on her.

Daedalus

This is the myth about how daedalus builds wings to his son Icarus and he warned him of not getting close to the sun but he does his wings melt because they were made of wax, he falls in a lake and dies. this is arrogance and not paying attention and it is the same as Venus and Adonis. the story could've changed completely.

Adriadne

Here Adriadne son of the king of Thebes helps Theseus undergo the labyrinth with the minotaur and he after that ungrateful leaves her stranded on an island. this shows how ungrateful humans beings can be so ungrateful and with such a small action as not saying thank you after a good deed.

Phaeton, Venus and Adonis, Cadmus

Phaeton

This story is about Phaeton and how he goes to find his father to really see if he is his son. He says to his father phoebes he will do whatever is necesary and he asks to fly his fire chariot throught the sky but he burns everything and Jupiter kill him. This I think is what the strenght of promise is and it is similar to the death John the Baptist because Herodes promises a dancing girl he will give her anything and she asks for his head. promises are strong and powerful in both positive and negative ways.

Venus and Adonis

This myth is about Venus and Adonis who get in love with each other but for a particular reason and it is that a cupid arrow hit Venus. Venus warns Adonis of a mosnter and a wild boar ends up killing him and she did no harm to him which is slightly unsual. This is just called not paying attention to a warning and most times it is our parents who warn us but we dont pay attention and just go on and most of the times something bad happens.

Cadmus

in this myth Cadmus goes in search for his sisters but without succes so he comes back home and decides to build his own city. He asks help from men and to get an offering of water but they get attacked by a giant snake and Cadmus goes and kill it. he then wishes he were a serpent but eventually his wife and daughter turn into snakes and swear never to kill.

Perseus and Atlas, The wedding Feast, The Pygmies

Perseus and Atlas

In this myth Perseus gets killed by Medusa and he did that becais atlas received him not with understanding or llove but with somewhat a hostile attitude and i think that this is the reason of his meeting and death with Medusa. This myth shows us how can attitude severely hurt us to the point of death and how our words can affect drastically both good and bad.

The wedding feast

This myth talks about this man named phineus goes to a wedding feast and caims a maiden but they tell him that he shouldve saved her on the rock tied just when the mosnter was going to eat her and this tells us something oftenly heard that you dont know what you have until you loose it and this is what happened to him, he missed the opportunity.

The Pygmies

The pygmies are small dwarf-like creatures and they are attacked by a culture called the crannies. We can call this war between a big and powerful and the small vulnurable and weak for example (this is just numerical not power denomianted) the 300 vs Persia.

Cadmus, The Myrmidons, Nisus and Scylla

Cadmus

This myth talks about Thebes and it's creation and how it came out of civil war and the author is very positive and says that in the bad there is hope and in each end there is a new beggining. He is basically very optimistic and he says generally that if we fall we must learn to keep ourselves up.

The Myrmidons

this myth talks about a character called cephalous and how he sees all the people dying and wants to asked for mercy to a God. Asking help in my perspective isnt always bad and you should never be afraid to ask for it. You should always help and it will make you happy and it will one day come back to you.

Nisus and Scylla

This story talks about how scylla gave away her fathers land and how she expected the consequences. What she did was dishonesty nad it makes me mad when people hide or dont tell the truth and it is a value, something essential you are taught at home and school you should always learn to be a clear person.
