Sarah Jane Smith

161) of Doctor Who, and for the younger audience it was created to be aimed for, it easily introduced many of the main cast members as well as the well-known character Sarah Jane. Looking into the narrative form for this episode, it starts with a narration from Sarah Jane herself - although not known to the audience yet - and then transitions into a television ad from which one of the recurring main actors to this season is introduced. The episode does well in not cramming every main character into the audiences mind straight away but gives the full feature length episode for each character to be developed. Sarah Jane Smith as an example is introduced at first in only a visual manner, where her presence is recognised by Maria and she gets a smile of recognition back. The costume is not of much prominence in this episode but does help to emphasise the characters within the narrative of the episode. It can be understood that through dress we have an older, mother figure (Sarah Jane Smith), a casually dressed young female, not to stood out with neutral colours (Maria) and a white-clothed young male (Luke). The choice of costuming makes hints into the character and their personality, making it easy for the audience to create an intimacy with the characters. In relevance to gender, more specifically looking at Sarah Jane herself, her role within the narrative is the female protagonist from whom the show is centred around. Against Torchwood and Doctor Who, the use of a female lead…

the memories, smells and sounds. Moving from room to room, revisiting happy times and events, absorbing them to her mind’s eye for the long lonely nights that she thinks lay ahead. Suddenly Sarah Jane stops and stands like a statue frozen in time. Here in a state of numbness, within the walls of silence, cold, empty living room that was often filled with love and laughter. Sarah beings to doubt if the decision to leave and return to Yorkshire was the right one or the one she would regret in…

delivers a prophecy and blessing to the child that Hagar was carrying (Gen. 16:10-12). Upon hearing the words of the angel, Hagar has a change of character; and instead of submitting to standard social norms she takes initiative of her own and “names” the LORD, the sacred power who spoke to her, El-Roi (Gen. 16:13). Genesis 21 is a continuation of the previous narrative, which adds to the already dramatic tale of Hagar and her son Ishmael. The chasm in the relationship between Sarah and Hagar…

By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised (Hebrews 11:11 NKJV).

Sarah (originally named Sarai) was one of several women in the Bible who were unable to have children. That proved doubly distressing for her because God had promised her husband Abraham that he would be the father of the Jewish nation, with descendants more numerous than the stars in the sky. After waiting many years, Sarah convinced Abraham to sleep with her handmaiden, Hagar, to produce an heir. That was an accepted practice in ancient times. The child born of that encounter was named…

As already outlined, the first phase of Fanon’s model is demonstrated in Abram’s journey to Egypt. Abram leaves the land of Haran because there is a severe famine (Genesis 12:10). The Pharaoh does not invite Abram to Egypt. Rather, he goes there, at the command of the Lord, looking to exploit resources because there are none in his country. The second phase materializes in this narrative as Abram and Sarai take Hagar and the other slaves out of Egypt to the land of Canaan. Although Hagar is of…

Diversity in Interpretation.” Her interpretation of the interpersonal relations between Sarah and Hagar being a mirror for human tendency are a notion that I feel is important for my congregation’s context. Society’s stratification of importance based on gender, race, economic status, educational levels, and the like greatly afflict this white, rural context. The conflicts found within this ancient world of women are more universally known than most would care to admit. The fact that God…
