November 20 of 2012 is the date that Lourdes Guzman-DeJesus passed away. What makes this story rare is that the murder is actually innocent. Nobody that was, is, or will be perfect on this planet.

Guzman-DeJesus had to overcome, she forgave Jordyn for the cause of her daughter’s death. She needed a key. A key to release the feelings of loathing, abhor, and hatred, she had trapped inside in for Jordyn. That key was Lourdes. Ms. Ady believes this is what her daughter would have wanted her to do. Under these circumstances people need to go through the pain and heartache to forgive and absolve someone, this is why this story galvanizes me. It shows me that everyone that everybody is not the bad guy. He didn’t mean to shoot her, instead of punishing Jordyn even more, Ms. Ady forgave him. She didn’t just help herself, she saved Jordyn’s life. Ms. Ady supplicated that Jordyn would have a lighter sentence. Jordyn is a 16-year-old boy that has just started life. Instead of Jordyn spending more than his life in a prison cell eating bologna sandwiches, he will serve one year in a juvenile detention facility. In addition, Jordyn gets the opportunities to travel the nation will speak at schools about the dangers of guns. Some people may cause this crazy, but I call this forgiveness. I’m starting to enjoy life. If someone is focused on holding grudges then what will they be doing? Everything but enjoying life. To illustrate, where do you think Ms. Ady would be in her life if she has not forgiven Jordyn? I can’t even make an assumption because when a person has a tragedy happen them they go into their own

Enriquez’s painting has several deviations from the original arheiropoetia, such as different color choice and addition of Nahuatl symbols, which portrays his painting

    The first piece of artwork I critiqued was the famous Virgin of Guadalupe. The Virgin of Guadalupe is currently exhibited in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City. The piece of art is not solely a painting, but an enconchado. It was made into wood, and it essentially creates a reflective surface that appears as moving. Also, I like how they explain their theory on the woman of the apocalypse and how it relates to this piece of art.

  • The Virgin Mary Capro Analysis

    238 Words  | 1 Pages

    One of the darkest aspects that I see is how totally subservient Mary is to George. She seems to be there only to support him and her life is secondary to his. She has the children and is the dutiful homemaker, but we never get to see inside of Mary’s personality and what she really thinks. The camera gives her several close ups and we see her facial expressions that hint at emotion, but her thoughts about her life with George are never revealed. I can’t help but wonder if Capra purposefully patterned her after the Virgin Mary, because like Mary in the bible, we never really know what Mary Bailey thinks of life with George.
