Peace like a River Prompt

The main character for this book is Jeremiah Land, Reuben's father. In some ways, he is like an angel, creating miracles, fighting "evil", and being very loyal and faithful to the Lord Almighty.

His actions caught my attention because they are what made him the main character. Some people might think Reuben is the main character but he is just a narrator and the main characters son. Jeremiah is in almost every scene, whether he's being mentioned or actually in it.

He performed several miracles which included walking on air, helping Reuben live, and lastly, he glowed like an angel when he went to go save Dolly from the two bullies. The last one is what made me come to a solution about the theme.

I believe the theme is about doing good and praising God. A lot of people try to do good, but then it blows up in their face when they go bad themselves. Most people believe in God and the church and doing good, even when it is hard to follow up on that. Jeremiah does all those things, and more. He prays and listens to God, he also does good and protect the innocent. This is why the theme to me was praising God and doing good.

  1. Your essay was pretty good. The conclusion was really good. One thing though is that Mr. J told me to do a fictional narrative in my introductions and so as a suggestion I think you should too.

  2. Wow, that's really deep. I can't help but say nice work. It almost made me feel like I was in the book. Keep it up and you may very well earn yourself a fan. Like, a put-a-link-to-your-blog-on-their-homepage-and-check-for-new-posts-every-day kind of fan. :D

  5. I think you are doing a good job with a complicated book. Yes, the main character is not Reuben, and yes, the theme of this book is tied to morals. Which person's actions do you agree with in this book? The father, or Davey? These two characters represent two different ways we approach life, and apply our faith.

  6. This was a good post! I think your right about it is tied to morals. He kind of sounds like an angel-like figure.
