Hello my name is Ashlyn DeBoer and today I am writing as a book critic for my Religion 8 class.
What is the theme of this chapter?
Theme for chapter 4- Gods Gift In All Ways
What specific evidence do you have for this?
On page 34 it quotes “The cold milk stirred images of one of Gods Great gifts.” In the paragraph where this quote is mentioned it talks about how sometimes we will spend time “dipping and slurping” our way through some things that most people can’t in a more critical time in our and even there lives.
What are the author’s main points? How do they relate to the theme?
I think the authors main point in chapter 4 is to show us how somtimes we will make an effort to do good for others then we will get distracted (page 34). For instance community work, somtimes we will be working and a second later we will be off task talking to others about something that I’m sure is less important that helping others who needs it more than us.
Are there any ideas that are implied? How and why?
I think the main idea that is implied is two words Helping others. On page 38 it says, “Tel, me what your doing, I’m going to give you a second chance. This police officer saw this guy in a older car driving and speeding. He never really did anything wrong until then. The police offer helped him out and told him that he would give him a second chance as an example. This is how he helped and why as an example.
What do you think the author’s goal was, and did he achieve it?
I think the authors goal was to express to others in different ways how helping others really helps. On 38 it says “The grain to grain process is a demanding one” in my opionion this is showing us how this may be a process and for others it might not be but If we take this as a chance to help others that process with pay off. And yes I do think the author achieved this goal.
