    In the beginning of the story we see she is woken by a fire and her first reaction was to say that it’s God’s plan, her saying that showed us how strong her faith is in God, “yea, so it was, and so ‘twas just” pg.29. After she starts to think about it she starts to get upset at the thought that she just lost all her belongings and she’s trying to convince herself that she doesn’t need her personal belongings, but she’s having a hard time doing so, “ my pleasant things in ashes lie, and them behold no more shall I.” pg.27 Bradstreet wants to not have any feeling of sadness that she has lost everything because her religious belief says so, but she’s having internal conflict with herself, thinking she might be sad that she lost everything.…

    Although this thesis is still being revised, it states: Dario Fo had political and social triggers that led him down the path to creating a more modern—and revolutionary—giullare storytelling style that is comprehensible to masses around the world. I chose my focus(es) for multiple reasons. The first is that I need to understand why he revised biblical stories and, specifically, “Mary Under the Cross”. I believe if I understand why he chose it politically and socially, I can connect to it as well and create a better final product. Additionally, it is essential that I comprehend how it was revised by Fo and—hopefully—it will be helpful to my work on the scene.…

Therefore, claiming all the physical facts of a phenomenon, without actually experiencing it is not enough.…

    In a “Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor, the grandmother undergoes a huge shift in the way she views things.

    She "hears" about Jesus (faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of God) and makes a decision to go to him, just to "touch" the hem of his garment. It says that she "kept saying" if she only touched his garments she would be restored to health. 

 Finally healing was hers and she made a "confession" to Jesus and all who were with Him, that it was she who had touched him in the crowd. When we are touched by Christ, there is always rejoicing in our hearts and we have a testimony to share (Rev 12:11), and our testimonies will lead others to him as well. Aren't you glad that Jesus is willing and able to receive us all and give us the love and life we so desperately need?…
