What is the theme of this chapter?
I think the main theme for chapter 3 is Let God unshell you
What specific evidence do you have for this?
On page 23 it quotes, “Why just last week someone told me about regions of the world that have no clean water, without my clamshell to protect me who knows what I would have done.” I feel like she is trying to show us that we don’t only have to rely on our clamshells as it says above but what I see is her trying to show us that we have a God to that we can rely on.
What are the author’s main points? How do they relate to the theme?
I feel like the author was trying to give us a better point of view on ways we can rely on others instead of putting al, our trust in one thing. She quotes, “How can we change the world when we can’t even change our bad habits.” Right after that she said “Best to climb in and shut the shell, right?” I think when we are in our darkest times we like to just shut the shell instead of trying to come up with a solution.
Are there any ideas that are implied? How and why?
I think the main idea that is implied in this story is to not just shut everything up and bundle our feelings up inside but instead to just pray and let God help us and rely on him not on what might happen if we keep our feelings bundled up inside.
What do you think the author’s goal was, and did he achieve it?
I think just like I said above that the authors main Goal was to help those who might not have that one friend you can trust in to keep what your feeling to themselves but instead to tell God your felling and as it says above each page “Let God unshell you.”
