Psalms 121

Psalm 121King James Version (KJV)

121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Translation:
121 I look to the hills wondering where my help comes from.
2 My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow you to stumble: he will not sleep.
4 Because the keeper of Israel does not rest.
5 The Lord watches over you: the Lord protects you.
6 You will not be harmed in the day or the night.
7 The Lord keeps you from harms way and protects your life.
8 The Lord will protect you as you come and go now and for the rest of time.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein was a very intriguing novel. The monster himself in some case can be very relatable. Throughout the novel the monster experiences an overall sadness that can be broken down into smaller “sub-emotions.” A few of the feelings that he experiences are depression and loneliness. The monster did things that he did not truly mean because he was not particularly aware of the severity of his actions although he was simply acting on his emotions. The monsters primary motive behind claiming the lives of others was the neglect that he felt from society, but more importantly his creator. I feel that the monster would not have acted in such ways if he simply had someone to understand or bond with him.

Chapter 5 & 6; Questions & Quotes

Chapter 5 1.) The church was used as Grant's classroom. 2.) The school only meet for five and a half months because, for the rest of the year, the children were needed in the fields. 3.) I feel that Grant goes into such detail about how Jefferson will be killed simply to scare the children into learning so that they won't end up like Jefferson. 4.) Mr. Farrell tells Grant that Henri Pichot wants to meet with him at five that evening. Quote 1: "Every little thing was irritating me." pg.35 * Grant has become agitated by small things, that are branching off of his larger problem, the "man vs. self" conflict that he has encountered with having to teach Jefferson. Quote 2: "Do you know what his nannan wants me to do before they kill him? The public defender called him a hog, and she wants me to make him a man. Within the next few weeks, maybe a month, whatever the law allows - make him a man. Exactly what I'm trying to do here with you n...

Chapter 3 "Mr.Henri? I'll be up here again tomorrow, Mr.Henri. I'll be on my knees next time you see me, Mr.Henri." - page 23 2.) This quote characterizes Miss Emma, is shows Miss Emma's dedication to the well-being of Jefferson and her determination to his education before he is killed. 3.) This quotation indicates the conflict that Miss Emma is having with Mr.Henri about talking to the sheriff on her behalf and the conflict that she is having with coming to terms with Jefferson dying as "a hog." Chapter 4 "I need to go someplace where I can feel I'm living." - page 29  1.) This quotation relates to the desire to escape and displacement. Grant basically wants to leave behind the life that he is living now hence the theme, desire to escape. This could also relate to displacement because one could assume that Grant feels that he is not in the right place to live out his life. 5.) This quotation could in some ways symbolize the la...
