 In the film 42,   Jackie Robinson is a hero because he receives a notification. The second thing that Jackie Robinson did to become a hero was he succeeded in his goal. He succeeded in his task, by making goals for his baseball career. He also became a hero because he returns home as a winner to a celebration.     The first reason is that Jackie Robinson became a hero is that he receives vocations.

Jews from all over the world celebrate Hanukkah because it helps them to remember the rededication of the second temple in Jerusalem.

This is a comparison between a modern news article from Maine and the Moses story.

In the Maine news article, it shows cruelty by killing Asians and making fun of them. In the Moses story, the Pharaoh's army were controlling and beating the Jews. The word oppression mean taking away of a person's self worth about religion, culture, and others through discrimination. For example, the Jews were slaves to the Pharaoh in the Moses story. Another example from the Maine article is killing 8 Asian people because of their culture.
