Q Please thoroughly and thoughtfully respond to at least two of the prompts below and respond to two peers' posts as well. How do the stories your read add to your understanding of women in the Bible? What are your thoughts on the law codes? How does Judith stand up to your notions of a hero? (This begs for a definition of hero.) How much of Judith’s plan is divine versus of her own design? How are readers to reconcile Judith's plan and the divine plan? Is Judith honorable? Indicate why or why not. What else would you like to add concerning the characters of Judith, Suzanna, or Ruth? Uzziah thinks the solution for the people of Bethulia is to pray for deliverance. Judith scolds him for testing God. Keeping these two views in mind, what do you suppose is the point of this book? What qualities make for a good short story? How do the stories of Susanna, Ruth, and Judith stand up in terms of the short story genre? Identify literary techniques you found in your readings. Give insight into the character of Daniel in the book "Susanna." Provide insight into any of the characters. (This is called character analysis.) Make a claim about a character and back that claim up. (e.g. Daniel is Sherlock Holmes(esque). Such a statement would force me to prove my point with more than just stating, "He solved the crime.") Dealer's Choice: Whatever you wish to pontificate upon regarding these books.
