(Makesure you read the attached reading here as it includes relevant infoyou should put in the Cultural Customs & Intertextual columns.)Include in your Essay:

–an opening paragraph giving anyhistorical data you can find (date of setting, approximate date orcentury when written down, if known) and if you want to describe thestory in a nutshell, you can do that.

–paragraphs giving your keyfindings about how the main characters are characterized (use adjectivesthat describe their roles, motives, possible feelings, but based ontheir words and actions, as the story goes along, ie, in specific versesand scenes; this will include both what the narrator tells you, butalso 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
