In light of its genre, what is the book all about? In other words, what is the purpose of the book?
    It is about a God-Fearing man named Job who had riches but was humble even though he was blessed. Since he was so God-Fearing that God told Satan that no matter what happens, Job would still be faithful and not renounce his faith. God allowed Satan to do anything to him except death. Many things happened to Job. All his children died, he lost his riches and his wife even told Job to renounce his faith so that their suffering could stop, but Job wouldn't renounce his faith no matter what. Narrative, because the reading tells of a story in a 3rd person view. The story teller narrates Job's experiences and life. "This Job did habitually" is a line that basically shows how this story is narrated in a 3rd person view. What is the right way to question God? because there are various of ways to question God but some ways are offensive and shameful to God. It is about keeping the faith alive and about asking the right question. The purpose is to better understand one's self and to know the righteous and just.
