discern different genres of the bible and how to go about them. I have learned a lot in your class over these few days and have shaped my view of the bible.

Funny in Farsi** by Firoozeh Dumas Critique As I began reading the story‚ I tend to write down the characters that are introduced in the front cover so I know who is who. After a while whole pages were covered in names that were far too numerous and unique to remember or keep track of. Obviously‚ it was further evidence of the vast size and love for her family.

One Student Story Throughout school‚ it seems to be all about what you wear‚ what friends you have‚ or what car you drive. Doesn’t it seem so ironic that it’s just a small bump you endure until you get where you are going. Where you find out who you are and what you dreamed of falls into place. Learners 111 and my OnCourse book have taught me so much I can hold onto for a lifetime. Through hands on experiences and so much more about personal stories others have wrote‚ I truly believe I’ve been pushed
