Analysis #3: Complete Chart and turn in Summary Essay — dbl – space, about 6 pgs

Everyone should complete the Analysis Chart #3and summary Essay due this week (see syllabus). These two docs combined
should be 8-9 pages, Chart single-spaced, Essay double-spaced. You can
make them separate docs if it helps (Chart is turned
sideways–landscape). Please follow this structure below for your Summary Essay(6 pages) (please note: the Summary Essay does NOT summarize the biblical story, but summarizes your findings in the Chart). (Make
sure you read the attached reading here as it includes relevant info
you should put in the Cultural Customs & Intertextual columns.)
Include in your Essay:

–an opening paragraph giving any
historical data you can find (date of setting, approximate date or
century when written down, if known) and if you want to describe the
story in a nutshell, you can do that.

–paragraphs giving your key
findings about how the main characters are characterized (use adjectives
that describe their roles, motives, possible feelings, but based on
their words and actions, as the story goes along, ie, in specific verses
and scenes; this will include both what the narrator tells you, but
also how you interpret the characterizations)

–paragraph discussing repetitions you found in the story

–paragraph discussing your findings in the chart on cultural customs

–paragraph on ironies you found

–paragraph on intertextualities

–paragraph on general theological understandings of what the text suggests/believes of who God is and what it means to be human

You get the idea!
