Monogamy

The topic that I want to talk about is polygamy in church history. With conversations that I have with people that are not of our faith, polygamy gets brought up the most. Many still think that our church still practices polygamy to this day, even though the people know me personally and my family, they still ask the question. Many people around the world believe that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints still practice polygamy. I am originally from South Korea, and I can remember…

struggles with exile add to the central idea that suffering is unavoidable and can only be endured. Exile, for Linda, is as large a culture shock as there could be. Going from the “every one belongs to every one else”(page 40) mentality to strict monogamy forces Linda to adapt and change her casual ways. The hardships she experiences through social isolation, lack of practical skills, and inability to see the appeal of families create a very difficult life for her. As seen on page 129, Linda…
