1. All the stories have Samaritans who were out casted by the Jews, putting others before themselves and being good respectful people.
2. Samaritans were despised by the Jews, because the Samaritans were sometimes hostile, and also the fact that the Jews believed that they could become contaminated by passing through Samaritan territory.
3. In the story of the Good Samaritan I would identify the most to the man the Good Samaritan helps because everyone has bad days just like the man. All we need to make our days brighter is someone to come and make us feel better just like the Good Samaritan did.

Tags:
The Sasanid Empire, 224–600
Politics and Society-
1.The Sasanid kingdom was established in 224 and controlled the areas of Iran and Mesopotamia. The Sasanids confronted Arab pastoralists on their Euphrates border and the Byzantine Empire on the west. Relations with the Byzantines alternated between war and peaceful trading relationships. In times of peace, the Byzantine cities of Syria and the Arab nomads who guided caravans between the Sasanid and Byzantine Empires all flourished on trade. Arabs also benefited from the invention of the camel saddle, which allowed them to take control of the caravan trade.
2. The Iranian hinterland was ruled by a largely autonomous local aristocracy that did not, however, pose a threat to the stability of the Sasanid Empire.

How does Gilgamesh come to hear the story of the flood? Relative to the other events in Gilgamesh, when did the flood happen? Why is Utnaphistim able to tell about it?
