Raving Mad Reflection
Throughout my time reading this book I have really grown fond of Mr. Strobel. He asks the most detailed and thoughtful questions. Questions that I have thought of but I have not taken the time to develop them like he has. I really enjoyed chapters six through ten, but mainly chapter eight. I love psychological perspectives especially relating it back to things such as faith. In the book, there is a section titled “Raving Mad.” This made me really interested in reading about this subject. I continued into diving into this idea of “Raving Mad.” He goes on to explain that we do not “see obvious signs of delusion in Jesus” (Strobel 158.) He wonders what people who had a closer viewpoint of Jesus thought. Many said that they did in fact believe

    The Case for Christ: a Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

    Being a Christian and a student of Communications, I felt compelled to reading The Case for Christ. I decided to use this book for this review especially due to the large amount of criticisms and backlash it had received. Lee Strobel is known for being a hard-nosed skeptical journalist and ex-investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune. He also described himself as a "former spiritual skeptic" before his personal mission for the proof of God. Skeptics around the world claim that Jesus either never said He was God or He never exemplified the activities and mindset of God. Either way they rather triumphantly proclaim that Jesus was just a man. Some will go so far as to suggest that He was a very moral and special man, but a man nonetheless. For Strobel, there was far too much evidence against the idea of God, let alone the possibility that God became a man. God was just mythology, superstition, or wishful thinking.…

    Insanity In Alan Nadel

    . There is no predictiablity or structure in a world where everyone is mad. Insanity may be the only alternative, but even so it doesn’t save anyone. Alan Nadel puts it like this: “Instead of following a traditional plot sturcture, the novel is intricately orgainzed around the interplay of numerous characters whose conflicts perpetually recontextualize situations from absolute and relative perspectives that ultimately present the ‘history’ of World War II (history in general) as an expression of power caught in an infitinte play of difference”(Nadel, 167). This play is so prevalent in the language used in the novel as well as the opposing characters ideals.…

    Mmhm Reflection

    On May 17, 9th through 12th grade students in My Mental Health Matters (MMHM), a new club at State High, presented May’s Straight Talk session. MMHM is a student-formed club that aims to erase the stigma attached to issues surround mental health. Under the guidance of high school counselors Patty Devecka and Suzanne Lyke, Jana Marie Foundation’s President Marisa Vicere, and State High alumnus Shawn Bainbridge, members strive to bring awareness to common feelings of doubt or helplessness and most importantly, to let students know that they are never alone in the State High halls. Their Straight Talk presentation covered the importance of mental health awareness from a student perspective. The students responsible for forming MMHM were moved by troubling results from the most recent Pennsylvania Youth Survey (PAYS), which reflected alarmingly high rates of depression and suicidal ideation. They identified that the importance of physical health receives a great deal of attention, but mental health is often neglected. The…

    The Stranger Reflection

    My understanding and appreciation of cultural and contextual considerations shown throughout stylistic choices developed throughout this discussion. When I was reading The Stranger, there was a notion of hotness and higher temperatures that Meursault experienced throughout the book. During this discussion, one of the leaders pointed out that there was a reoccurring motif of the sun. Right then it clicked for me that the idea of hotness was really a part of the much larger motif, the sun and its multiple affects, especially on Meursault.…
