RUTH
Ruth and Naomi are going through bad times in the land that they are in so they decide to go back to Bethlehem. While back at home Ruth meets Naomi's relative who is a rich man named Baoz. Baoz thinks Ruth is beautiful and she ends up liking him too. Ruth ends up working for Baoz in his fields and Baoz asks that Ruth be taken care of. Naomi realizes that Baoz likes Ruth so she tells Ruth to keep up the work and to try and impress Baoz because if she marries a rich man like him she will be well taken care of.
Naomi tells Ruth that she should propose to Baoz and Ruth agrees. Midnight that night Ruth decides to have sex with Baoz and she then proposes to him. Baoz agrees to marry Ruth. After they get married they decide to have a child and he is named Obed. Eventually this child would be the Grandfather of King David and Ruth would be the Great-grandmother of Israel's greatest king. King David. Naomi ends up taking care of the baby and even though Ruth is the heroine of the story she is left out of the relationship. Her feelings for her son and her husband and her sense of belonging in Israel are never addressed.
*Her inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus tells us about his teachings because it shows that she stuck through everything and no matter how hard the situation got like Jesus she kept going through the struggle. It ended up working for her in the long run.

Grade
I think I should get a B or higher in this class. As long as I keep up with my worka nd keep up in class I think this grade is possible. I will try to finish all my work and I will try to review the questions I miss on any quiz. I would also like to see if there are any extra credit opportunities and if there are then I would like to volunteer for those as well.
Story
A story that my family always tells when we are together is when one time me, my sister, and my mom got lost on our way to the Oakland Airport. We knew the way but there was a detour and we had to take another way. We made circles for hours and we were all yelling at each other about which way it was. My mom was driving like 5 mph on the freeway and me and my sister could just laugh at her. We passed the same streets like 10 times. My family tells that story everytime we get together and they always make fun of us for getting lost.
