My project is going okay. Breannah and I have decided to team up and merge our ideas together. I think that merging our projects together will be even more powerful than us doing our projects individually. We just have to really think about what it is we want to do. Once we come up with a plan as to how we can make sure our project is a success things will really start moving quickly for us. I think that things will go a lot smoother if there are more peoople involved. I think the both of us together will have a greater impact on the students. I have been having some second thoughts though. I thought I was sure that I knew what I was going to do, but now I am having some second thoughts. Certain circumstances will definitely have an effect on how. If children see more than one student saying how important it is to receive an education it might get their attention more. My project will have to be revised. I am thinking of also composing both myspace and facebook pages in addition to my trying to speak to various students and educate them on the importance of having an education. On these two pages, I will make a strong effort to reach high school students by writing things on the page that they can benefit from. I will invite both the high school students and successful people that I know so that they can also add their comments and ideas to the pages to hopefully help motivate the children. I will decorate the pages and make them appealing to the eye to draw the attention of the students. On these pages, I will have words of encouragement and motivation to hopefully reach the children and impact their lives in a powerful way. I feel that creating these pages can help reach the children if the talk does not help. Children of all ages are on myspace daily for hours at a time looking at the various pages. Hopefully reading the things that I will have on the myspace and facebook pages will get to the students.
My major is currently speech pathology. I am still uncertain about what my minor will be. I hope to work in the medical area of speech pathology. I feel that this class will help me on daily on my job. The bible is a book of various stories that occurred long ago. Many of these stories are about how various people were tested and were almost defeated. They also tell about how the people that were being tested dealt with the situations. I can use these examples to help deal with stressful patients and co-workers that may come with an attitude, and try to bring me down. Also I feel that it is very important to be cultered. You never know who may show up on the job and strike a conversation about the bible. It is importanat to be educated in more areas then just the field that I want to work in. It is also important that I know the way that God wants us to be. I want to live the way God wants us to live and without a combination of reading the bible and this class I will not know how to do this. I feel that everyone needs to have a little bible knowledge. We should have a little intellegince in every subject possible. The more we know the better off we will be. I feel like knowing the word of God is really important. Without him we cannot accomplish all the things we want to.
Feminist Criticism is a very useful tools in more ways than one. Many books that were written long ago are only from a male’s prospective. The criticism shows that men were not the only people that did great things. Men were not the only people who made great contributions in the world. Without many women in the bible a lot of great people would not have come about. Mary is a perfect example. Without Mary, Jesus would have never existed and we would still be living in a horrible world. Maybe we would not even be here today. The criticism also shows that the mistreatment of women is totally unacceptable. Feminist Criticism shows that men mistreating women is not appropriate. The criticism shows that women deserve respect as well and that the world really is not a male dominated world. Women really did contribule a lot to the world and feminist criticism shows this.
I did horrible on the midterm. I am not sure what happened. I read everything thoroughly but my mind just went blank when it came down to taking it. I think that I overlooked the the simple things thinking that knowing the general stories would be good enough. The test focused on a lot of specifics which led to my doing so poorly. I got a huge wake up call when I looked at the test paper. I am not sure if I did not study enough or if the midterm is just super hard. Before taking this class I thought I knew more about the Bible then I realize. I plan to take it again to try to bring up my grade. It is imperative that I get a good grade in this class. Hopefully I will do a whole lot better on the final. I think I will since I know the format of the test. I now know what to expect, so I will be better prepared next time. I am very greatful that I have the opportunity to retake the midterm so that I can redeem myself. Most teachers would not be this nice and let the students take the test over. I will definitely make sure to study harder for this test so that I will do well. It would be pointless to take the test again and not do well. It would be a waste of time, so this time I will definitly perform at my absolute best.
