How does the story "Prince Louie" show the influence of the biblical story of Samson? In both stories, a strong hero loses his s

trength through the treachery of his wife, who is an enemy spy. Both narratives are about a young man who receives the gift of super-strength from a divine being. Both stories feature a young man of humble birth who is raised to power as God's favorite. In both stories, the hero's mother gives him a superpower that he doesn't really want.

Answer:

In both stories, a strong hero loses his strength through the treachery of his wife, who is an enemy spy.

Explanation:

In the biblical story of Samson,his mother is instructed by God at his birth never to shave a hair from his head and he would have super strength to achieve what mere men could not achieve.

True to the words of God, Samson grew up having great strength because his hair was never shaved. He fell in love and married Delilah a Philistine who was sent to spy on him and discover the secret of his great strength so he can be subdued. Samson tells her his secret and he is subdued by his enemies.

In the story <em>Prince Louie, </em>when Louie was only just a child, his mother tells him that soon he would become King Louis of Forbush and she gave him a ring and asked him to wear it at all times and he would succeed in his royal duties.

Just as his mother said, he grew up to become a successful king, banishing his enemies and the kingdom having peace. He fell in love and married Anabellla of Gnarltree who unknown to him was a spy sent to find out the secret of his power. King Louis told her his secret was the ring and sge got the ring off and his kingdom was invaded.

m_a_m_a [10]

Thrush, Bush


Eye rhyme is when two words look like they should rhyme because they are spelled the same. However, the words do not actually rhyme because they are not pronounced the same. Thrush and bush both have the same ush spelling at the end. Thrush is pronounced with a short u /uh/ sound. Whereas bush has a short /oo/ sound.


Bough and Plough both have the "ow" sound. Shrill and hill both have the short /i/ sound. Shed and bred both have the short /e/ sound.

Dear Diary,

It is interesting how life is full of surprises and we can find satisfaction and happiness in situations that we have not planned. It is even more interesting when that satisfaction and happiness is generated when we help other people. I did not imagine that relieving, even a little, the suffering of others would do so much good for my soul and my spirit leaving me so satisfied with myself.

I have always thought that I would only find happiness in actions aimed at my own satisfaction, but by helping a beggar and allowing him to have a little satisfaction in his difficult life journey, I was happy. I liked to take some of the difficulties that the beggar goes through and give him a little comfort generated comfort for me too.

I was also fully happy, excited and full when adopting a pet cat. Knowing that this animal will have a home to protect it and that it will no longer be hungry and thirsty or mistreated, fills my soul with joy.

I intend to do good deeds frequently, because I want to feel this feeling forever, in addition to contributing to the happiness of others.
