The supercilious assumption that on a Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do (pg24) It seems to me that the narrator is rather annoyed about the assumption that he has nothing to do. It gives a bit of insight into the narrator’s and Tom’s personality. Knowing more about how characters think and respond to each other is crucial and this tells a bit of that. (words:51) “I want to see you” said Tom intently. “Get on the next train.” (pg26) Tom seems to be in control of the

Braden Townsend January 23‚ 2015 Night Journal #1 Page 18- “Besides‚ people were interested in everything—in strategy‚ in diplomacy‚ in politics‚ in Zionism—but not in their own fate.” I believe that what he means by this is‚ that people think that just because they’re so small‚ or that they’re race is spread out over many countries‚ that people will think that they will not be noticed and left alone.

Galatians Chapter 6 Verse 2 in Chapter 6 of Galatians‚ gives practical advice for temptation and tensions. One main point that stands out to me. “Bear one another’s burdens‚ and so you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2). This means to not let your brothers or sisters bear burdens alone. It is a call to act. A call to help. A call to serve one another with love. Paul delivered these instructions to help actively restore Christians that were sinning.
