... him because he had offended his god. When he had reached the end of his life his god never came back to forgive him. There are several common themes in both books that give the impression that both cultures pondered the same problems. In the book of Job God finally appears to Job and says that he Job didn't need to know why God let him suffer because he is God and his reasons are above mere mortals. While the man in the Mesopotamian book was pondering his problems, he couldn't figure out why he was being punished by his god. His reason for why he was being punished was, a god's reasons are his own, and when has a man ever known the thoughts of a god. He reasoned that what is good ...

... the real truth versus someone’s biases and point of view. “The problem is that if all accounts of events are determined through and through by the observer’s frame of reference, then one will never know, in any given case, what really happened,” (Tompkins, 410). Tompkins researched several historians’ works, and in her research, she identified several problems in the interpretive practices of these historians. Tompkins began her research of the misrepresentation of American Indians with Perry Miller’s book Errand into the Wilderness.

... bad habits or laziness as well as lack of cooperation and cohesiveness in the community could attribute to poverty. A hippie misconception is that poverty is an idyllic retreat from the hastles of life. Homelessness can actually be the result of a disaster, such as a flood, fire or earthquake or even the loss of a job. Another question we ask ourselves is "Should we give into the poor, such as money to the homeless on the street, when all they are going to do is probably buy alcohol, drugs, cigarettes or something of no good use?" We work for a living and deserve the rewards we get such as pay checks. Why should we give our money to those who put themselves in that position in the ...
