Part 2- Biblical Allusions: David and Goliath

David and Goliath  Biblical Allusion  Source: I Samuel 17

  • David heard Goliath shouting his daily defiance and became concerned
  • David volunteered to fight Goliath
  • Carrying only a staff and a pouch of stones, David began to fight
  • Goliath had David in a kill strike, David then grabbed a stone and struck Goliath on the head
  • David one the fight
Commentary: This allusion is about facing your fears and standing up for something. This can be found in To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus faces his fears of protecting a colored man and stands up for something bigger than himself--racial equality.
