Sandra Lee Scheuer Gary Geddes poem titled, “Sandra Lee Scheuer”, is written as a response to a tragic death reported in a small news excerpt from the Akron Beacon Journal. Within the poem Geddes truly puts a face to a young woman who was murdered by an Ohio National guard during a student protest. The poem brings us into the day in a life of an unassuming student who may have otherwise only been known through her closest family and friends. In contrast, the Akron Beacon Journal explains the death of Sandra Lee Scheuer as unjustified due to her seemingly proper stature by comparison to her peers. Both of the writings exemplify a certain regret towards her death, yet Gedds' poetry creates an artistic channel which quickly pulls on the reigns of the readers emotions.
Christianity teaches that people should not work on the day of Sabbath as God himself didn’t and that it should be the day of rest. However, Jesus didn’t follow these rules and decided to do the most loving thing and heal a sick person on this day even though he wasn’t supposed to. Some could argue that situation ethics and its ideas about love fit into Christian theology perfectly because even Jesus broke rules to do the most loving thing possible.

Fletcher incorporated the quote from the gospels into his ethical theory and devised six propositions and four principles.

Megan’s Talk 7-13 Obedience I am going to start out with a scripture from D&C 93:24, 26-28. It says, “The spirit of truth is of God, and no man can receiveth the fullness unless he keepeth his commandments. He that keepeth God’s commandments recieveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth and knoweth all things.” Our Heavenly father has given us the commandments to guide us and to protect us. Being obedient is doing God’s will. He knows what is best for us and he doesn’t want us to get hurt, so obeying His commandments will save us a lot of grief in the long run.
Are you leading by the “Strength of Your Character”? The worship pastor commented that he is trying to lead by the strength of character, for certain. He feels whether he does or not will be revealed in the future when his time has ended. Integrity, he notes, is a very important character to obtain.

Mary Rowlandson was a white female colonist, with children and a husband. Whether she liked it or not, her race described her and defined her as a white colonist. The Native Americans that took her and her family away from their home would not have done such a thing if she had been of a native descent.

Janie finds her voice even though she goes though hard times such as Zora. Like Janie, Zora revealed the importance it is in becoming independent and not having to depend on others for help. This book is important to me, because the Character Janie proved to me how important it is to follow your dreams, and no matter what the circumstance were it was important to go through it and learn from your mistakes. I think that is a message that Zora was trying to tell the people that were around her, even though Jim Crow laws were pulling them down it was important for the people to take pride in themselves and fight back, so that they too will have a ‘big voice’ in the
