    Searching and then finding the object of one’s search creates a never ending cycle, a cycle which sometimes ends in success other times in failure. It is common in human nature for people to spend almost their entire lives in search for one thing or another, whether it is love, money or a loved one that has been separated. This search often becomes one’s purpose in life as it consumes them, often changing who they are as a person.

The reaction of her mother is indicative of the fact that this is a concern for their family and their heritage. This shows the overarching issue about the education system not being inclusive of all cultures as they should be in a multicultural country.…

    The three targeted areas are urgently needed by the family system from the assessment are a stable home, an interaction between siblings, and addressing the major ongoing problem within the family. For a stable home, in the movie scene, it appears how unstable the Grapes family home is, the house is damaged, and they did not have enough money to rebuild it or fix the parts that were falling apart. The second target area is the interaction between siblings, they did not express their feelings towards each other or shared feelings among each other and instead kept it to themselves and left it hanging. It kind of goes with my third point which is addressing the major ongoing problem within the family. No one ever talked about the struggles the family was facing.…

    Ken Ham states, “That’s called ‘natural selection’ or ‘adaptation.’ It’s not necessarily survival of the fittest; it’s survival of those that have the right characteristics to survive in that environment.” (P. 75) This statement does not really make sense because that is, in fact, exactly what survival of the fittest is. Ham often states the reasons why evolution is wrong but then backs up creation by simply saying that that’s just the way God made it.…

    The theme of Blood on the River is learning to make decisions out of love and not anger. One event that shows this is when Samuel didn’t tell James how stupid he was for thinking that running to the boats in case of an attack was a good idea, Although it led to James’s death Samuel thought it was the right thing to do at the moment because telling James how ridiculous it sounded would be cruel. One scene in the story that shows Samuel making decisions out of love and not anger is when he took baby Virginia to Point Comfort before the attack occurred against her parent's will to save her. This shows the theme because if Samuel was acting out of anger he would have fought with John and Ann and probably broken or hurt someone by the end. Yet he…
