Write a post of at least 300 words in which you discuss how Mother Angelica’s teachings in the assigned video helped you realize something to be true about the nature of human life, the spiritual power of suffering and our relationship with God

Watch this video, first, to help you understand Mother Angelica’s teachings.
In her teaching, Mother Angelica mentions a great Saint of our times, who lived in Italy, in the 20th century. His name is St. Padre Pio.
He suffered so much, in union with the Lord Jesus, for the salvation of sinners that St. Padre Pio was privileged to bear in his own body the very wounds of Jesus Christ. This privilege and blessing is known as the Stigmata. Here is a short video on St. Padre Pio to help you gain the most from this extra-credit assignment. May you be blessed by learning about this great Saint. St. Padre Pio, pray for us!

Journal – The Acting Project
Directions:
Now that you have chosen your scene or monologue, it is time to do a bit of character analysis:
For this journal assignment, you are going to prepare yourself for your ACTING PROJECT due in Unit 8.
Start off by naming the play, act and scene in which the chosen piece occurs.
Lets start off with action
SUPER-Objective: This is what the character wants most of all throughout the course of the play.
What does my character want more than anything? State it like this “To Verb Receiver.” Example: “To win the race.”
Describe a bit about why the character wants this
SCENE or MONOLOGUE-Objective: This is what the character wants most of all in the scene. Usually this is directed at another character.
What does my character want most of all in THIS scene? State it the same way, “To Verb Receiver.” Example: “To convince Jamie that she is worthy.”
Describe why the character wants to achieve this objective
TACTICS: These are the different approaches the character uses to get what they want.
What tactics does my character use to get what they want? List them.
What is the most interesting or effective tactic?

Now that you have explored the qualities and actions of this character, it is time to start rehearsing the scene or monologue you have chosen. Let the objectives and qualities of the character guide you. Remember, acting is DOING and REACTING. Practice this.
Ultimately, you must allow yourself to believe in the reality of the scene and the character for the duration of the time that you are playing. Believing becomes easier when you have and active and interesting objective to pursue.

What do you think each writer wants to get across in terms of the ideas and meaning behind the stories, “between the lines”?

The two stories we are examining deal with a breaking of trust in marriage. The reasons for the loss of trust are completely different; however, trust is a foundation of every successful relationship, and when it’s lost, the relationship will suffer and may even founder. What are the two writers saying in these stories about the particular characters, their conflicts, and the consequences of a loss of trust? Remember that the characters, the conflicts, the plot itself, are all fictions — imagined. Neverthless, they represent the writers’ ideas about marriage, about the role of trust and the consequences when it’s lost. You need not attempt to compare and contrast the stories to one another as there is little basis for comparison. However, you should analyze each story in terms of the theme explained above, always focusing on the writers’ ideas. “All Ahead of Them” by Tobias Wolff https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/07/08/all-ahead-of-them “A Glimpse of Scarlet” by Roxana Robinson POINTERS ON ORGANIZATION: Make sure that your introduction presents the theme (in an interesting way to get the reader interested!) and ends with a thesis statement that encompasses both stories. Both stories and writers must be mentioned in the introduction. Each body paragraph (you must have four or five) should begin with a topic sentence that makes an assertion or analytical statement. It cannot be a reference to the story (i.e. In “title” by XX), it cannot be a quote from the story, or a summary (i.e. “title” is about……). You can always begin with a statement of the author’s intention (i.e. In the character of Connie, Oates shows us the dangers of adolescence during the turbulent decade of the 1960s.” This topic sentence makes an analytical assertion. The paragraph would be expanded from here with at least four quotes or paraphrases from the story that provide evidence for and support that assertion / idea in the t.s. Each quote or paraphrase must be followed by your reaction to the quoted or paraphrased passage (again, at least four sentences).
Keep in mind, you must have at 4 body paragraphs minimum, but no more than five. I. Thesis statement II. Topic sentence / assertion I III. Topic sentence / assertion II IV. Topic sentence / assertion III V. Topic sentence / assertion IV VI. Topic sentence / assertion V
