Character Analysis
I think that Noah is a perfect example of someone who shows integrity. He is patient, trustworthy, obedient, and loyal. He shows patience with God when he waits for forty days and forty nights for the flood to stop. This shows integrity because he demonstrates that he is willing to wait for good things to happen and also that he trusts that God will make the right choices. He shows that he is trustworthy because he is chosen by God to build an ark and to gather all the animals. He shows that he is obedient because when God asks him to build the ark he immediately listens to his command without any questions. Finally, he shows that he is loyal because not once does he lose faith in God. The flood continued for forty days and nights and Noah patiently waited for God to tell him what his next move should be.
I think that Cain is a perfect example for someone who doesn’t show integrity because he is malicious, jealous, and irresponsible. He shows his jealousy when he envies his brother because God likes his offerings better. He is malicious because he kills his innocent brother out of jealousy. Abel hadn’t done anything wrong to Cain, but he killed him because God favored Abel’s offerings. Not only did he kill his brother but when God asked him what happened he tried to lie and say he didn’t know, even though he knew that he killed him. Then when God asked where Abel was Cain replied saying that it wasn’t his job to watch over his brother. By not taking responsibility for his own actions Cain shows immaturity. Being irresponsible and immature are not qualities that a person of integrity possesses....
