The Misfit: Jesus Thrown Everything Off Balance

312 Words2 Pages

The Misfit obviously didn't agree with this, because whatever the punishment was for our sins they would never be equivalent to what it would have been before Jesus. Jesus sacrificing himself was not they way life was supposed to be or at least to the Misfit what it was meant to be. The Misfit goes on further to say that he didn't believe that his punishment fits his crime. He doesn't think that committing a crime matters since people believe that they can confess

In both “Sex, Lies, and Conversation” by Deborah Tannen and “Jesus is a Brand of Jeans” by Jean Kilbourne, the authors effectively convey the intended message.
