They both got everything taken away from them and were both sent to prison. “Dantes was now thirty-three years old, as we have said, and his fourteen years in prison had brought what might be described as a great spiritual change to his features”(Dumas 9).

    In A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, Johnny Wheelwright is chosen by Owen Meany to play the part of Joseph in the Christmas pageant. Because of this action, Johnny feels as if his fate is determined by Owen. When Dan Needham suggests that Johnny should take over Owen’s role as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come in A Christmas Carol, Johnny refuses because of his permanent role as Joseph. Johnny refuses to take Owen’s role in the play and describes himself as “just a Joseph” (Irving 207). Johnny utilizes a metaphor when calling himself a Joseph to refer to how he presumes that the biblical Joseph is insignificant to the story of Jesus.…

    a. Joseph shows deep compassion to his brothers even when his brothers wanted to kill him. Joseph was second in command in Egypt and could have easily turned his brothers away leaving them to die, but instead he decided to love them and help them through the famine. Envy is the basis for how Joseph’s brothers behaved. It started with them envying Joseph because he was his father’s favorite. Then they were envious of his coat of many colors, and finally they were envious and offended by the dreams Joseph experienced. This envy drove them to sell their brother into slavery, which leads to another theme, diligence. Joseph showed diligence and devotion to God. Even when he was thrown in jail and framed for things he did not do, he still diligently sought God and followed his…

    In her writing titled “A Narrative of the Captivity and Restauration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson”, Mary lies out for the reader her experience of being held in captivity by Indians during the King Philip’s War. Perhaps one of the most significant aspects of this writing is the glimpse that the reader gets into Rowlandson’s faith and religion. Faith was a major aspect of life in the Colonial Period. It was of widespread belief that God was to be feared, and that he was the only way to redemption (Kizer). Mary Rowlandson was no different, but the extreme conditions of her captivity caused her faith to occasionally waiver. Most of the time throughout her journey in captivity, she depended on God, and the scripture to get her through the nightmare that she was trapped inside of, however; there were moments when she questioned even that.…

    Throughout ones journey in life, our individual perceptions of faith in God, in mankind, and in ourselves, guide us along our path. In life our faith is what keeps us going. A person 's faith is not necessarily their religion, but can also be what they believe in or morals. Often times in life, events or people cause a person to lose faith in what they are doing or even in themselves. For example, a player on a football team goes into a game with their mind set on winning. During the game they lose the best player on the team on the first play of the game and the other team scores within seconds of the start of the game. Events like that during a game is enough to cause many players on the team to lose faith in themselves as well as the team. Our faith can also determine whether or not we overcome an obstacle in life. If a person believes strongly enough in what they are doing he will almost always come out of a situation victorious. In the Young Goodman Brown, his faith is tested throughout the story.…
