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.

Nice Job, the story was well told, i think you needed to elaborate in more depth and a deeper thought on how ruth was a impact on the geneology of jesus. the story was well said and told. it needs a conclusion and more raw facts and no suger coats.
