No Dizzy Spells!
Oct. 5th, 2005 06:03 pmThat is my happiness for the day. I managed to get through the day without dizzing out. Glee!
We're starting a new section in my Religion class today, what the teacher refers to as the "Porno Section". Want to know how you can put a picture of a naked woman on your wall and not get in trouble? Just say it's religious.
Seriously, we're covering the images of a few Old Testament women, and how the art we see reflects our focus on the story. This is going to be our group project part, and my group got Bathsheba. We've already decided to bring in a more modern treatment of her story, and it's already got us thinking. The whole focus of that story is on David's sin, specifically his sin against Uriah. Now, there's no denying that Uriah gets the bad end of the deal, what with getting killed and all, but at the same time, Bathsheba's feelings are ignored. And then, when Nathan comes to David, and tells the parable to make David think, what is Bathsheba turned into? A sheep. And then we get to the modern re-telling that we are going to include, in which Bathsheba is further objectified. She gets turned into a rubber ducky for crying out loud! It's definitely going to be interesting.
For once I'm stealing a quiz from LJ, instead of the other way around. But I really like what I got, and like she said, for once the quiz maker seems to posess a brain and proper grammar.
You're a little gold key, and you unlock other
people's hearts. Your kindness and willingness
to be there for those you care about lets
people open up to you knowing they will be
accepted. People will rely on you, but be
careful not to give more than you have.
What sort of key are you and what do you unlock?

Cool, huh?
