Hello, my name is Ashlyn DeBoer and today I am going to be writing as a book critic for ch 10 in this book we are reading called “Outlive Your Life.”
What is the theme of this chapter?
I think the theme for chapter 10 is compassion
What specific evidence do you have for this?
On the beginning of this chapter they begin it with “When the hungry pray, he listens. When orphans cry, he sees.” I think this relates to the theme because I feel like not only me but everyone else needs to work on having a stronger compassion for others more less than yourself. Being able to feel sorry and want to help the orphans for instance is an instant sign that you have compassion for others.
What are the author’s main points? How do they relate to the theme?
I think the author’s point is to try to show us how to relate to God. On page 99 it says “God makes the poor his priority.” I think this like I said above relates to the theme because of four words showing compassion for others. Just as God did for the poor, not wealthy.
Are there any ideas that are implied? How and why?
I think the main idea implied is finding different ways to develop compassion for others. Whether that means caring for the poor or even donating money to orphans to show that you care.
What do you think the author’s goal was, and did he achieve it?
I think the authors goal was to show us one word Compassion ways to be compassionate to others. In the last page of chapter 10it talks about an organization that I think we all need to be a part of called Compassion International. Helping those who need it most.
