During the American Revolution, many women took up arms and helped fight against the British. Deborah Sampson was one such woman. She bravely disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the army. She had to change her appearance and her name. She enlisted under the name Robert Shurtlieff. She served for 17 months and was almost discovered a few times. One of the closest calls she had was when she was admitted to the hospital for wounds that she received in battle. She had pieces of metal in her head and her leg. After the doctor fixed her head wound, he wanted to begin removing the metal from her leg. Sampson was worried that she would be found out if he operated on her leg, so she decided to remove the metal herself. The doctor disagreed with her, but he could do nothing to stop her. What additional information would the reader gain if Passage A were written as a firsthand account from Deborah Sampson's point of view?

A. The reader would learn how Sampson really felt about her actions.
B. The reader would learn the name of the doctor.
C. The reader would learn what else was happening during the war.
D. The reader would learn how others felt about Sampson.

The answer is A because it describes her personal actions and emotions.

Explanation:

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).
