The author of 1 Samuel was Samuel himself‚ at least for the first 20 chapters which is where my passage‚ 1 Samuel 16:14-23‚ lies (Old Testament Samuel 1). Samuel was the last of the line of judges who presided over the nation of Israel until the people demanded a king. Samuel was reluctant at first‚ but God assured Samuel that the people were rejecting God. Samuel anointed Saul to be Israel’s first king with the guidance of God. Samuel most likely wrote his account down to show future Israelites

The mood and attitude of Samuel Beckett ’s 1957 play‚ Endgame‚ are reflective of the year of its conception. The history that reflects directly on the play itself is worth sole attention. In that year‚ the world was a mixed rush of Cold War fear‚ existential reason‚ and race to accomplishment (Garraty 307). Countries either held a highlighted concern with present wartime/possibility of war‚ or involvement with the then sprouting movement of Existentialism. The then "absurdist theater" reflected the

Happy Days by Samuel Beckett The play ’Happy Days’ is a humorously dark and ambiguous play. The play is primarily a one-woman show. It is an interesting play that wrestles with themes of loneliness and extreme optimism in the face of utter hopelessness.

Samuel de Champlain was born on August 13‚ 1574 in the small port town of Brouage‚ France.
