Thought Paper
I must say that I am not entirely displeased with the final conclusion of the weekly, daunting ‘’Thought Paper’’ (admittedly because of my own inner laziness). However I must express what a refreshing assignment it was in comparison to weekly essays with a specific subject and format required. It was nice to express my thoughts about our class discussions, the chapter topics, and any interesting themes that were shared in group such as; movies, articles, music, and personal stories. Also writing a full page of just your thoughts and knowledge was not entirely the worst, especially if you were to just rant on about certain feelings towards the topics like I tended to do if what I was writing about interested me to that extent. And with this being the final thought paper I feel as though the class will be ending soon, although we still have much to do like interview project and of course, the dreaded final. Nonetheless, I was pretty surprised with my midterm grade and so I have high hopes for my final grade if I study very hard! And which of course I will do so.
Now onto more important things like the recent movie we have been watching and our latest chapter concerning religion. I find it be to fairly interesting that people are so simply chosen to be this significant organizer for such a religiously distinct event for a whole year. I believe that is a unique way of nominating someone so that they may show their worth. Perhaps not someone’s worth, but their responsibility level and connection to God. In a way it’s asking if they, and the people that help them, have what it takes to organize such an event. I think it is a slight burden and a really special honor at the same time and yet I know I would not be able to bring together such an occasion or even organize it properly because of its vast extent. Pulling together a group project and a power point on the other head? Well that is a
