Short Answer Questions/IDs (10 pts each) - 5 are chosen - Each answer should be a paragraph long 1. Type-scene Regular pattern that anyone in culture would understand/know will happen - ex. When someone comes to a well, it’s probably they will find someone who they will love/marry Typescenes allow the storyteller to tweak each situation, causing different effects. For example, because Abraham sent a slave to find Isaac’s wife (instead of Isaac finding a wife for himself), the storyteller implies that Isaac is a passive character in the Bible. Examples: Moses at the well... finds a wife (Ziipporah) Isaac’s slave at the well... finds Isaac a wife Telemachus initiation...boy- subject to mother turns to man- superior to mother Anti-typescene: ex. Samson comes across a dead lion + honeybees (new, weird type of well) - which foreshadows Samson’s failed marriage with his first wife Anybody would be able to recognize immediately, purpose: so that readers know what to expect. Patterns.-From my (Jonathan) notes. Recurring plot device where the reader gains an idea of what will happen based on some event or sequence of events. A prime example is when men in the bible wander on a journey and stop at a well, where they meet their soon-to-be wife. It is important because it becomes part of the cyclical pattern within the bible. Regular patterns in the Bible; something happens that sets you up with certain expectations, but slightly different results. B) Isaac(his servant actually) and Rebekah, A servant is sent out to get a wife for Isaac, but Jacob goes out himself and gets a wife for himself 2. P Priesthood - not prophets in modern times; instead considered a medium to speak to God, and controls sacrifices (ex. Read animals’ entrails, yummayyy!) Trivia stuffs that might become useful :) ● Only the “P” writer claims that Aaron is Moses’ brother. Priesthoods derived authority from either Aaron or Moses, and so this was a propagandic political position by the priests to make Aaron a more prominent and important character in the Bible. ● In Noah’s story, “P” writer says two pair of each clean/unclean animals should be brought onto the Ark (normally they would become extinct because they would sacrifice the animals, and priests can only sacrifice in the temple of Jerusalem - but since there were no priests back then, two animals of each would be enough and the species would not go extinct). In the “J” version of the story, there were 7 pairs of the unclean/clean animals.
