Discourse Community Essay

Friendships and relationships mean the most to me when it comes to how I want to live my life.

When I was little he used to tell me things and I always believed him because I mean he was my brother why would he want to lie and as the day would pass I would realize he lied to me again.

Furthermore, this displays just how supportive Jeremy is as he does not remain silent when he realizes that his race is the cause of the torment towards the Logan children and how he remains to follow his new acquaintances even if it means that he is forcibly loathed by others in the process.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) This was the Bible verse Tim Tebow had written on his eye black for the Bowl Championship Series title game on January 8th, 2009 when the Florida Gators won 24-14. In Tim Tebow’s memoir, Through My Eyes: A Quarterback 's Journey, he gives great insight about his childhood and upbringing being a religious star college football quarterback.

I would advocate the novel because it gives readers an encouraging story about how a religious Christian farmer

This is clearly seen when he hides the money and watch under Hassan’s pillow, and starts him on a long road of regret and guilt,which is further worsened by Hassan taking the blame for his actions. “I loved him in that moment…I wasn't worthy of this sacrifice; I was a liar, a cheat, and a thief...except that part of me was glad...that this would all be over soon” (105).

First, I searched for websites dedicated to John Dear with primary sources and pictures. Unfortunately, there were only a few, like FatherJohnDear.org, John Dear’s website, and Paceebene.org, a website with updates and posts from Campaign Nonviolence, a peace organization that Dear is part of. With these, I found Dear’s speeches, sermons, books, and pictures, which showed me how he stood up at places like Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline, and at Washington D.C against capital punishment. Dear was also kind enough to let me interview him for more information towards the project. The interview gave me valuable insight on how Dear viewed his own personal impact and purpose for living.
