How has/does the Bible influence the lives of people?
The Bible influences people by telling them what to do and what not to do. this is done through force and fear: force: people think that there is someone with a greater power whom sees everything they do.
Does this quotation offer a sound model for a happy life?
This quotation is very biased because it does not consist of the Maid and how she feels about having sex with Jacob and giving birth to Rachel ad Jacob's children. However Rachel and Jacob will be happy because they will get what they want.
Does Rachel present a reasonable argument?
Rachel does present a reasonable argument in some ways because Jacob having sex with the maid and the maid giving birth to their children would be a quick and efficient way for Rachel and Jacob to have children. However the Maid is unaware about what is going on and she might not want to got through with this, but she may have to if she wants to keep her job. In addition Rachel may get protective over the children once they are born and she might fire the Maid therefore, the maid has a very difficult decision to make.
Are the feelings of all participants explored?
All the participants feelings are not explored: Jacob and the Maid's are not considered.
Rachel has just assumed that the maid will agree to this suggestion, this connotes that Rachel is confident that she has the upper hand and that she is in control of the maid. Moreover the Maid doesn't really have a choice in the matter because if she says no she ricks losing her job and if she agrees she might get accused of sleeping around and she still may lose her job due to her being the third adult in Rachel and Jacob's marriage. In addition; Rachel is assuming that Jacob with have sex with the maid, Rachel doesn't actually ask him if he minds. Rachel's feelings are the only ones that are considered to a great extent which connotes that she is determined to get her way.
Well done.
