Example #1
Mormon 1: Character - A man is surrounded in his own country that has been invaded by his people's enemies. All his family and friends have been killed and his is completely isolates without anyone to turn to.
Example #2
Ether 1: Plot - A big group of people build a huge tower to get to heaven, and as a result get cursed so that they can't communicated with each other anymore. There is one family that has the curse removed, and they leave everyone else and go on an expedition.
Example #3
Ether 6: Dialogue - Two brothers are about to die, and are trying to decide who will be in charge once they are gone be a use they don't want their family to have a king. Their families asks for them to choose one of their sons to be king. They ask several of their sons until one of them finally accepts.
Example #4
Ether 2: Language - A man's brother forgets to pray for a long time since he forgot and became really lazy. So he climbs a mountain and has a vocal conversation with deity.
In Eliza's post she talked about walking around the house with her cousin and having feelings of emptiness because of the lack of different things, which is the same as Moroni being alone and having feelings of emptiness because of the losses and changes that he experienced.
Then Keegan talked about going to Africa and being only white people there, much like the brother of Jared's family being the only ones after the tower of Babel that were differwnt from everyone else because they are able to understand each others language.
I see Examples 3 and 4 both very interesting and strangely relateable. The conversation on how the family will proceed once grandpa is dead is one that is happening in my life. haha
ReplyDeleteExample 4) Many can relate to the feeling of becoming lazy in the things of the world, and hitting a point where you know something has to change. Those nights where you go for a walk and think things through. It is those times where you pray, reflect, and gain perspective.
