Literary Analysis 3

George Muller: Man of Faith and Miracles by Basil Miller

Topics
1 In his young life George was a thief and a vagabond ( a drifter with no home leading an irresponsible and disreputable life). his father had been a collector of a specific tax n his homeland of Prussia which is where he stole much of his money. For years he ran rampant caring little for the damage he caused. In his early twenties something in his life changed, through the witness of a group of Christians he turned his life to god and stopped his steeling. For the first time in his life he felt content and he slowly learned to trust others. Slowly but surely he found himself  in England working fr the church, and later feeding the poor and ministering to them.
2 The author wanted to tell other Christians of George Muller's ministry
3 I found the book in my church library and I decided to read it.
4 The book did seem to be realistic because i know many people who had dark experiences as children and young adults, but changed their lives and turned to god instead.

People
1 The author based the book upon historical events and combined them with the text from Muller's journals to characterize the people in his life form his perspective.
2 August H. Franky acted as an inspiration on Muller's ministry by providing for the needs of over 200 orphans. I would Characterize August as a kind and benevolent person in a novel because of the help he gave to the orphans.
3 I wrote about August because he served as an inspiration for Muller's adult life.

more on main character
1 The greed of his early years is characterized by the description of his theft and misappropriation of the tax money his father possessed. When he decides to change his life around it is said that he stopped his spending and his theft and left it for a different life style. 
2 when describing Muller the author talks more about Muller's actions.
3 Muller is defiantly a dynamic character in this story, he changes from being a thief in his younger years to being a minister in his adult life.
4 I feel that i met George Muller simply because of how much of his life story was told in the text and the large amounts of his quotes were included in the text.

Style
1 In this book the author wrote the story similar to a history book using quotes from Miller himself to show his thoughts and ideas at the time.
2 The author focused more on the action and the events on his life to show what troubles that he faced and how he had overcome them. The effect was showing a more historical context of the life of Muller and his connection with his god.
4 The author seemed to want to inspire the audience to do great things with their lives.
5 The author used quotes from miller's journals and writings to show his thoughts and feelings. This allowed me to take a more serious approach to the reading seeing that the author had truly studied the life of George Muller
