Answer:
b. Transformation
Explanation:
Transformation is what we have when our heart is renewed.
Transformation can be seen in the light of the repentance.
Transformation is a marked change in appearance or character, especially one for the better.
We see in the Jonah and the Whale story how the city Nineveh marked for destruction was again restored when they heard the warnings of the creator via the lips of the prophet Jonah.
Their plea of repentance was accepted and the nation preserved, the people turned from their iniquities to the Lord God and the Land was transformed.
Other themes that fit the Biblical story of "Jonah and the Whale" includes compassion, obedience and judgment.
Answer:
"I lived in the first century of world wars" is the opening line of "Poem" by Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) an American poet and political activist. Her best-known poems are about social justice, equality and feminism. Her choice of words establishes her anti-war theme and her efforts to oppose war through her poetry: "Slowly I would get to pen and paper, Make my poems for others unseen and unborn. In the day I would be reminded of those men and women, Brave, setting up signals across vast distances, Considering a nameless way of living, of almost unimagined values." She felt her poetry, which would outlive her, would be a message to those "unseen and unborn" who could work to promote peace and justice. "We would try by any means To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves, To let go the means, to wake." Here Rukeyser was passing on the baton, as it were, to the generations "beyond ourselves" in the hope that they would be more purposeful peacemakers.
