  1. Setting
    In the novel it described the village as having “mud-roofed” houses with stone walls and that helped me depict what the village was like.
    In the novel it said that in the mountains there were rocky hillsides and you could look out and see the plain. This gave an image in my head of how the setting might look like.
    Characterization
    In the novel it said how Daniel looked like a savage and acted like an animal.
    In the novel it stated that Samson was like a big boulder.

  2. Setting - [Ketzah] silver-gray terraces of olive trees splashed with with burgeoning thickets of oleander.
    Setting - [Joel’s House] row of slender columns into another corridor, up a flight of shallow stairs and into a small square room.
    Character - [Daniel] with the bold features of his countrymen, the sun-browned skin, and the brilliant dark eyes that could light with fierce patriotism and blacken with with swift anger.
    Character - [Jesus] A thin face, strongly cut. A vital, radiant face, lighted from within by an intensity of spirit.

  3. This is the setting and charactizations of the stuff :)
    Characterization: Samson, They say like he can crack their heads like walnuts; Daniel, Daniel looked like a savage and acted like an animal.
    Setting: Capernaum, It tells us that it has dark stone houses and that are thick clustered. The book does describe the village that Daniel and Simon went to does have mud-roofed houses with stone walls and that helped me imagine the village in my head.

  5. Setting:
    1.In the Mountains when Joel and Thace are there,“How blue the lake is! You can see the tetrarch’s palace in Tiberias,” spoken by Thace. This made me think of how amazing the Mountain view of the land was.
    2. The town in Daniel's point of view looked smaller than he remembered from childhood.

    Characterization:
    1.The book described Samson as a boulder that came down(this was when Daniel came back to the Mountain after going to Ketzah.
    2.In Chapter 1, Daniel, “He was a tall boy, with little trace of youth in his lean, hard body. At eighteen Daniel bar Jamin was unmistakably a Galilean, with the bold features of his countrymen, the sun-browned skin, and the brilliant dark eyes that could light with fierce patriotism and blacken with swift anger,” was described perfectly in the book by the author to give me a good picture of what Daniel bar Jamin the Galilean look like and acted like.

  7. Setting: It talks about being in biblical times/time of Jesus so it helped me think what time period that are in. Also it talked about the mountain having rocky surfaces and that you could see the city form it it gave me a idea of what it is like.
    Characterization: It talks about Samson being well build having a huge scar on his face helped me think of what he looked like. When it talks about Jesus filled with the spirit hes face trimmed well gives me a idea of what he looked like in this story.
