In inductive study, we study the obvious, and so we started by looking at who is mentioned in Jonah 1. We underlined all the references to the LORD and to Jonah. Then we listed what we learned. What did we learn from what we listed? The LORD is almighty. He's sovereign. Jonah is disobedient, rebelling against the Lord's call to go to Nineveh.
Now, let's do the same for the captain and the sailors. Since they're all the crew of the ship, let's mark them with the same color, but since the captain is in charge, give him some additional mark that will set him apart from the sailors. For instance, you might underline the captain and sailors with orange. Then for the references to the captain, you could extend that line into a rectangle or circle. Write "captain" and "sailors" on your key card and show how you are marking them.
Then mark all the references to the captain and the sailors in Jonah 1. After marking, list everything you learn about the captain and everything you learn about the sailors. Take a moment to look through your lists. What character traits describe the captain? How would you describe the sailors?
