While I do not completely agree with his whole book, Shane Claiborne speaks some truths on many ugly topics of our society. I agree with him that there needs to be a higher concern in our society for the less fortunate, poor, and those who do not have a voice in local government. He speaks for an alternative thinking, conveying an idea that the traditional church isolates itself from the poor and disenfranchises many LGBT people. He communicates to his audience; it is okay to question a church that may be wrong in their views or traditions. I believe our generation subjects themselves to staying neutral on controversial topics.
Langston loses his faith because of how Auntie Reed tells him that “when you were saved you saw a light, and something happened to you inside” (197). Langston takes her word, expecting to see a light and to feel something stirring in side of him. When he doesn’t see or feel anything after he’s saved, he gives up on believing in Jesus because he had believed in his aunt’s words. As a young boy, Langston wanted to see Jesus, who wanted to earn salvation, but when he didn’t see Jesus, when supposedly everyone else saw, he’s finds himself in a position of disappointing himself and everyone in the congregation. So he finally “saves” himself by pretending to see Jesus.

Arthur Dimmesdale committed the greater sin because he was a man of faith. He was not true to his sacred vows. He committed an adultary which is considered to be the worst sin because it is against one of the ten commandments. He told the people of lord to be true and faithful to their religion when he was not himself. He did not tell the people about his sin like Hester Prynne's was told.
Atticus uses a sense of credibility to target this value in his speech by creating reassurance that all Maycomb residents are equal. Walter Cunningham, a poor neighbor was having dinner with the Finches. Walter poured too much syrup all over is food and Scout lashed disrespecting Walter. “But he’s gone and drowned his dinner on syrup...theres somes folks that don’t eat like us, she whispered fiercely.” (32) Just like Calpurnia recognising that everyone in Maycomb is equal at the dinner table, Atticus manipulates this in his speech. Atticus brings up that all everyone is equal by recognizing important people who have said wise words about equality.
In John Steinbeck’s, The Grapes of Wrath, many people carry out villainous acts; but the simple taking out of these deeds does not make these people villains. The excuse, “A guy’s gotta eat,” repeatedly appears throughout the novel in various forms and is often used to avoid the complicated questions that ethics and morals present when one carries out negative acts for the benefit of himself or his family. One example, towards the beginning of the story, is when Willy Feely knocks down the Joads’ home, exclaiming, “I got two little kids…I got a wife an’ my wife’s mother. Them people got to eat” (55). He is actually the son of one of the farmers in the area but went to work for the bank and the Sheriff later on for the money that they offered.
Relationship: Quote: “Dad: “It’s supposed to be soup.” Me: Dad: “It tasted a bit watery, so I kept adding thickener. I put in some corn and peas.” Me: Dad: [pulling wallet from his back pocket] “Call for pizza. I’ll get rid of this.”” (61) Significant/Realization: Melinda and her dad have relationship but it gone to the point where she doesn’t even respond to the simplest questions her dad asks. This shows that this relationship is falling apart slowly and it has reached to its maximum point. Real World Connection: My relationship with my dad is quite similar.
It is obvious that Dee (Wangero) does not understand the importance of her family heritage. But her actions are contradictory when she, her mother, her boyfriend, and her sister Maggie sit to eat dinner. While at the table, Dee’s boyfriend, whom one can assume is Muslim, steered clear of the collard greens and pork. “Wangero, though, went on through the chitins and corn bread, the greens and everything else” (Kirszner and Mandell 316). This action by Dee may be determined to merely be a ploy to persuade her mother to give her the family-knitted quilts.
Anytime a meal or communion is taking place it is usually to make amends with your enemy, get on the good side of someone you admire or someone you are happy to meet or mostly to honor a family member, friend, colleague etc, be it he/she died or has done something honorable. One example of communion is in the film Soul Food based upon the Showtime television show, the whole film is based upon communion, and how it affected and mended the relationships of the members of one boy’s extended family. The film starts by showing the close relations, love and affection the members of the family share with each other leaving all trials and tribulations of being an extended African-American family and staying together through longstanding family traditions (such as family dinners); these begin to fade as problems take a big toll on the family. Every Sunday in the film, the family has dinner with many delectable treats and food pleasing to the eye. Mother Joe is a diabetic but wise and caring matriarch of her family and the glue that holds it together, she always makes the “soul food” for her extended family for
