Metaphor of a thing that scares me:
Death is a deep sleep.
Metaphor of a dream/goal:
Marriage is a sentence.
Rhinoceros:
I have been like Berenger when I stand up for my beliefs and religion. I have grown up in a Christian home and have attended private christian schooling my whole life until this past year because I now attend CSUB. I have always been involved in outside sports such as soccer and dance but only recently when I have gotten a job and met more diverse people in college have I seen the different views people have on different subjects. I have been very sheltered and not known how offended people get when they find out I am a Christian and do not believe or choose to allow certain aspects of peoples lives to influence me. Personally, I like to live to the saying "hate the sin, love the sinner." This stance to me seems very reasonable. I try not to judge or view people differently based on a variety of different things, I just don't prefer certain actions to be in my lifestyle. by discussing certain issues with people at work I have noticed people constantly try to shake my beliefs or standards by questioning me and trying to get me to slip up on my stance or argument. These are the times I feel like I am Berenger, that I will stick to my original beliefs and what I believe is right for me.
Isis, nice metaphor! I like the ambiguity of "sentence."
ReplyDeleteIs it "sentence" as in part of an essay? (As a marriage would be part of a life)
Or is it "sentence" as a judgment/conviction? (A person is sentenced to marriage)
I like the fact that it could be read either way. Good work!
