The document is a series of rhetorical questions that criticize making grand assumptions without having the necessary skills, experience, or abilities. Each question contrasts something difficult or extraordinary with an inability to accomplish more basic tasks. The overall message is that one cannot aspire to great heights without first developing fundamental competencies and gradually progressing through levels of achievement.
Response Question TwoSituation and Setting The section of t.docxronak56
Response Question Two:
Situation and Setting: The section of today’s analysis deals with What? When? and Where?
Today’s readings, “Daystar,” page 762, “The Beautiful Changes,” page 835, “Summer Storm,” [posted under Poetry link] all deal with situation and setting, as well as word choice. Please read these poems, and post your analysis of these poems, which must include the situation and setting.
Please note the following, which will help you analyze the poem:
Setting: the scene; the basic backdrop of the story, like the location, the year, the season. These are usually factual and describe the scene where the situation takes place. Examples of setting:
· in a forest
· in a clubhouse
· surrounded by lions
· at a cemetery at night
· Talking with another person, Where? When? Why?
· Talking to oneself (soliloquy) Where? When? Why?
·
Situation: describes what is going on within the setting. It is usually dynamic, telling a story of how characters interact with each other (or with the setting). Examples of situations:
· a man and woman are fighting about whether to discipline their children
· the poet loves a woman very much, but she has recently died, and he feels regret for never telling her of his love
Response Question Two (cont’d)
Language: This section deals with - - Word Choice and Order:
In the poem “My Papa’s Waltz,” page 825, the word choice is extremely important. Many people read the poem and think that it is a poem about a young boy having a wonderful time dancing with his father. Others read it as child abuse. What is your opinion, and what words specifically made you think that way?
RITA DOVE
Daystar
She wanted a little room for thinking:
but she saw diapers steaming on the line,
a doll slumped behind the door.
So she lugged a chair behind the garage
5 to sit out the children’s naps.
Sometimes there were things to watch—
the pinched armor of a vanished cricket,
a floating maple leaf. Other days
she stared until she was assured
10 when she closed her eyes
she’d see only her own vivid blood.
She had an hour, at best, before Liza appeared
pouting from the top of the stairs.
And just what was mother doing
15 out back with the field mice? Why,
building a palace. Later
that night when Thomas rolled over and
lurched into her, she would open her eyes and think of the place that was hers
20 for an hour—where she was nothing,
pure nothing, in the middle of the day.

The Beautiful Changes
One wading a Fall meadow finds on all sides
The Queen Anne’s Lace1 lying like lilies
On water; it glides
So from the walker, it turns
5 Dry grass to a lake, as the slightest shade of you
Valleys my mind in fabulous blue Lucernes.2
The beautiful changes as a forest is changed
By a chameleon’s tuning his skin to it;
As a mantis, arranged
10 On a green leaf, grows
Into it, makes the leaf leafier, and proves
Any greenness is deeper than anyone knows.
Your hands hold roses always in a way that say ...
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

infront of your eyes?
What made you ever think; that you could walk on the tight rope with a mask
camouflaging your face; when infact you couldn’t even maintain your balance on
the most strongest of ground?
