Angel or Man with wings???

I believe the man is in fact an angel. The town grows suspicious when the angel does not display his powers, but to me i think an angel wouldn't bother showing off. I do believe he is in an angel but i also think he plays a metaphorical role as a mortal. I think Pelayo wants the angel to be a blessing, and that is why he keeps him. when the angel never seems to recover from whatever happened to him, they just leave him a ditch him. Those emotions towards him makes me think of the angel as a metaphor for equality. Obviously the being is different, but does he deserve to be kept with the chickens? Also, throughout the story they question whether he is Norwegian, so do they simply not trust outsiders? I also believe the angel is a test of morals, and somewhat of belief. Instead of helping him back to health, they keep him more for personal gain. I believe it is just convenient that they were asked to keep him.

1) Writing is relatively free from grammatical, usage and spelling errors. 

2) Writing that has enough detail to illustrate that you’ve read the homework 

3) Depth of thought, either in asking insightful questions(not rhetorical ones) or insightful comments that illustrate complexity of the text 

4) Evidence from the text that supports your insights and not plot summary

5) You avoid summarizing the plot, rather use the plot to illustrate your point.

Cathedral by Raymond Carver

1) Explain the irony that shapes the story

In the end of the story, the husband was the one who ended up seeing things differently. The husband's narration leads one to believe that a blind man in his home would feel rather awkward, whether because he was being "babied" or because it was difficult to communicate with him. The husband changed throughout the story in such a subtle way so the reader didn't notice. In the end however, it seems the blind man introduced him to a new way of seeing the Cathedral. A new way, which to the husband increased its beauty. The husband began dreading the blind man's visit but ended up gaining sight from him

I Still Believe....

As far as the activity goes, it doesn't really matter. Writing, panting, or even doodling on a sheet of paper can do something to your attitude.

I believe everyone needs a creative past time. An emotional and intellectual outlet that has absolutely nothing to do with ones agenda. In fact, the less it has to do with a schedule the better. As a country, we are dying from symptoms of stress. When the day is done our brains crave refreshment. When a day is especially stressful i feel burned out. I can't stand normal socialization. Having to talk to anybody, even a friend and especially a family member, is absolute torture. When I look back on the previous years of my student career, i can't help feel that stress levels are at an all time high. I can tell that everyone around me is just as stressed as i am. I think many of us are missing the key solution to abolish, or at least pacify our stress.

I was very lucky to go to The Waldorf School for elementary and middle school. The whole curriculum of Waldorf was infused with creative activities that relaxed and refreshed your mind. Our daily schedule would include at lest one hands-on, creative activity a day. Activities such as knitting and sewing, water paints, gardening, form drawling, and playing various instruments were part of our natural learning process. I have grown a lot since then, still, I can't remember feeling any stress as a student at Waldorf. I believe that is because of the unique curriculum.

When i left Waldorf and went to the public high school in my area, i realized that i needed to take the time to incorporate the same theme from my previous education into my current one. Even though I enrolled in an art class at the school, it was not the same. I got into the habit of having little projects that were spontaneous and random. Often this was finding pictures or other items of personal memorabilia and attaching it to the growing collage on my wall in my room, other times it was fixing a seem on a jacket or patching a pair of old jeans. Today, when i need a break from something, I try picking up a pencil and some paper, or appropriately putting to use a bottle of spray paint can change something about my manner. Every time, even if I fail completely at my little project, I feel better after putting my mind into something hands on.
