In Tori’s post she can be compared with Nephi of
having that empathetic side for her Mom as she was going through the trials and
hardships that she was experiencing.
·
In Eliza’s post about the celestial lawn, she
uses imagery and vivid description to have those images pop into our minds,
which is like what Nephi did, but in a more positive and happy way.
·
In Romney’s post he describes the setting of
Guatemala not in the negative way as in 2nd Nephi but describes it
in such a way that it vividly describes the setting where the experience is
taking place.
It seems that you compared the personal essay stories to the Book of Mormon in more of a format and writing form way. Not entirely on the content of the essay or Book of Mormon. Rather you compared their description of life, of a certain place.
ReplyDeleteI like seeing how you emphasize the description of the setting in this chapter of the Book of Mormon. To make the setting come alive, it's important to include significant details to set the mood, influence the way characters behave, and sometimes invoke an emotional response. Although it's important to include significant details, too many minor details may turn overwhelming.
