Turpin, and seems to change her thinking. After Mrs. Turpin pronounces how grateful that she is neither poor nor black, Mary Grace (the fat girl) whips the book she was reading, Human Development, at Mrs. Turpin, which is great use of symbolism. Human development is a symbol for what Mrs. Turpin needs, because of her racism, judgementalism, and ridicule. And the name Mary Grace symbolizes something that relates to Jesus. Mary was Jesus’ mother, and there is a prayer called Hail Mary, which if she were to pray could bring her salvation.
With this being said, we all are secretly like Mrs. Turpin. From the moment she walked in the doctor’s office she began to judge people based on whether someone would offer her a seat and their physical appearances. Mary Grace is a symbol for grace and revelation in the story thus representing the religious overtones. Her point in the story was to help Mrs. Turpin become a better woman. Mrs. Turpin considers herself to be a Godly woman, yet she is extremely judgmental and full of rude thoughts.
“Lying Awake” by Mark Salzman does a fascinating job at representing the lives of cloistered nuns through a work of fiction. His story follows Sister John of the Cross, a nun who is shown to have these awe-inspiring visions of God that are accompanied by unparalleled feelings of spiritual peace and harmony. Throughout the novel, Salzman makes a point to humanize life in a Carmelite monastery by giving the reader a look into the subtleties and nuances that make cloistered life more relatable to the average person. In doing this, he also taps into the doubts that inevitably come with being a person of faith, and that they do not escape even people who devote their entire ways of life to their religion. As the novel progresses, Sister John begins
She trusts her intuitions and assumes that they are correct. She does show some consideration to the health and mental states of the older sisters and has moments of kindness to Sister James but, the kind of Church and religious life she has inherited mean that she is constantly on the alert, wants proper order everywhere and sees herself in the chain of hierarchical authority that goes up via parish priest, bishop, to Rome and to the Holy Father. At the opening of the film, Fr Flynn gives a sermon on experiencing doubts. This cuts no ice with Sister Aloysius. Fr Flynn is already on her hit list because of his friendliness towards the children in the school.
She thinks of herself as a very good christian woman who is not perfect but considers herself happy from socio-religious perspective. O’Connor has done a very good job of developing a major religious and social conflict in “Revelation”. She starts with a minor conflict between Mrs. Turpin and white-trash woman who
For a short while, Celie’s letters begin with “Dear Nettie”, because Celie learned that her sister, Nettie, was still alive. This implies that Celie wrote to God because she had no-one else to turn to, thus giving the impression that the letters were a form of escapism and release for Celie. It could be argued that Celie’s faith in God falters slightly towards this part of the book, for after the Nettie saga, Celie expresses how she was taught to see God as “a white bearded man”, which seems to have felt unnatural to her. Once Celie learns of Pantheism from Shug, she seems more comfortable with the idea of God, for she addresses the last letter of the novel "Dear God. Dear stars, dear trees,
She prays God to protect him from the gunfire. While praying she mentions the Virgin Mary, the Virgen De Guadalupe, and the Virgen De San Juan Del Valle to help in protecting her son. In the untitled story, a woman is controlled by the spirit and is willing to help anyone with a problem. A woman asks about her son and the spirit says not to worry. In my opinion, stories t\like these are a big help with people dealing with these, but it will only help the people who believe in God.
Keywords: culture, prepared, school counselor View of Myself Looking back at the receptivity scale, I feel as though my responses have made me realize that I am very well prepared to be a school counselor.

I love helping others regardless of race, gender, religion, disabilities, adults, children, and so on and so forth. That is just the personality that I carry.
