Sunday Monday Tuesday Affirmations !2 Saturday Morning Devotional: None Evening Gathering: Hi/Lo “6-Day Visit To Rural African Village” & “The Cost of Short Term Missions” Starter Questions: What were your first reactions? Do you think there’s some truth to The Onion article? Do you think it’s bad to share your trip like that on social media? Do you think we should have just sent out our money over? Critical about coming back an talking about how it changed us, do you think that’s a bad thing? “Short-term groups are also unable to do effective evangelism” because of cultural and language barriers, is this true? Should we be evangelizing? “Third-world people do not need more rich Christians coming to paint their church and make them feel inadequate.” How does that make you feel? “They do need more humble people willing to share in their lives and sacrifices.” How can we be humble? How can we enter into this solidarity of their lives and sacrifices? “…stop thinking about short-term missions as a service to perform and start thinking of them as a responsibility to learn.” How can we do this? Lets save the discussion about the changes after we’re done for later this week. Expectations: I expect the people ____. I expect the the living conditions ____. I expect my reaction ___. I expect the work ____. I expect the reason ____. Share one or two that you think we may want to hear We’ll be collecting them from you afteward Don’t Anticipate, Participate Thought we have all these expectations, encourage you not to anticipate, just participate Having an idea of what is going to happen can be fine, but having too many expectations is problematic Closing Prayer !3 Sunday Morning Devotional: A Prayer for Spiritual Freedom O Spirit of God, we ask you to help orient all our actions by your inspirations, carry them on by your gracious assistance, that every prayer and work of ours may always begin from you and through you be happily ended. Evening Gathering: Hi/Lo Seeing God in All Things Jesuits - Society of Jesus, religious community in Catholic church started by Ignatius of Loyola Focused on educating men and women for others, social justice, and ecumenical dialogue Central theme is finding God in all things Matteo Ricci - Italian Jesuit priest who operated around time of Protestant Reformation Was a missionary to China with unique approach, learned how to read and write Chinese Learned about their culture, history, literature, etc. so that he could properly engage them Used preexisting Confucian ideas to explain Christianity He came to bring Christianity to them, but he found that Christ as already present and working there He was criticized a the time for his “radical” thinking Now the tone has changed from “speaking to” to “speaking with” Current theological understanding is that “God is present and has been revealing himself to all humanity throughout history in diverse and hidden way” These trips are not just about bringing Christ to these people through our words and actions It’s about letting Christ speak to us through them, taking the good elements of this culture and these people and allowing it to renew us Mentioned earlier that a central theme of the Jesuits is finding God in all things How do we do that this week It’s easy to find it in Mass, prayer, ourselves, etc. but it is also in all of creation We can grow in this ability to see God, or goodness, in all things by practicing attention, reverence, and devotion We’re going to practice attention, reverence, and devotion now through a sort of meditation, reflecting on the day So start by closing your eyes and looking back on your day Perhaps pick a specific moment in the day, one that was different for you, maybe something that challenged you If you start to find a specific event too challenging to process right now, back out a little and look more at the overarching day But if you can find a feeling or moment to focus on that’s great So take a few moments and think back on your day !4 We start with: Attention - Let this item, this person, this moment be as genuinely itself as it can be Don’t intrude upon its reality, keep your fears, biases, preconceived notions, all of that out of it Let it be as it is We move to: Reverence - Focus on it, and accept its reality, cherish it, esteem it Hold back judgement, assessment, or even response Accept it We finish with: Devotion - See how God is moving in this person, this moment, whatever this is, see how God is present Look at the good and fragility, beauty and truth, pain and anguish, wisdom and ingenuity See God Relax and continue the process, when you're ready open your eyes God Moment: On these trips, in addition to the Lo/Hi, we often incorporate a moment closest to go God So now that we've gone though these steps, does anyone care to share where they saw God today? Try be attentive, reverent, and devoted throughout the week. A Personal Prayer of Pedro Arrupe: Grant me, O Lord, to see everything now with new eyes, to discern and test the spirits that help me read the signs of the times, to relish the things that are yours, and to communicate them to others. Give me clarity of understanding. !5 Monday: Morning Devotional: Answering the Call Genesis 9:20-21 - Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay naked inside his tent. 2 Samuel 11:2-4 - One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba ... wife of Uriah the Hittite.” Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. 1 Kings 19:3-5 - Elijah was afraid and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” Luke 22:56-60 - Then a servant girl, seeing him as he sat in the light and looking closely at him, said, “This man also was with [Jesus].” But he denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know him.” And a little later someone else saw him and said, “You also are one of [the disciples].” But Peter said, “Man, I am not.” And after an interval of about an hour still another insisted, saying, “Certainly this man also was with [Jesus], for he too is a Galilean.” But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed. Like the first one, only remember hearing cute stuff about animals two by two, not Noah wasted Guess parents don’t want to tarnish the image of biblical heroes Something important though Important to know that these people were just as messed up as us, if not more, but they still answered a call God thought Noah, a naked drunk, was righteous enough to survive the flood David and Bathsheba, an adulterous couple, later gave birth to Solomon the Wise Elijah, a prophet on the brink of suicide, went on to anoint a new generation leaders Simon Peter, the one who denied Christ, later set the foundation of the church So don’t think because of your problems, your weaknesses, your fears, that you’ll be useless here Never been comfortable with the idea that God has “a plan” but he does give us invitations You’ve answered one by being here, don't let that go to waste Evening Gathering: Question from the Hat Everyone pulls questions from a hat and answers them Lo/Hi/God !6 Tuesday Morning Devotional: When I Hear the Learn’d Astronomer - Walt Whitman When I heard the learn’d astronomer, When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me, When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them, When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick, Till rising and gliding out I wander’d off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

  • WINNIE VERLOC and HEROISM in the SECRET AGENT THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Parti
    7w WINNIE VERLOC AND HEROISM IN THE SECRET AGENT THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts By Cynthia Joy Henderson, B.A. Denton, TX May, 1993 Henderson, Cynthia Joy. Winnie Verloc and Heroism in The Secret Agent. Master of Arts (English), May 1993, 77 pp., bibliography, 65 titles. Winnie Verloc's role in The Secret Agent has received little initial critical attention. However, this character emerges as Conrad's hero in this novel because she is an exception to what afflicts the other characters: institutionalism. In the first chapter, I discuss the effect of institutions on the characters in the novel as well as on London, and how both the characters and the city lack hope and humanity. Chapter II is an analysis of Winnie's character, concentrating on her philosophy that "life doesn't stand much looking into," and how this view, coupled with her disturbing experience of having looked into the "abyss," makes Winnie heroic in her affirmative existentialism. Chapters III and IV broaden the focus, comparing Winnie to Conrad's other protagonists and to his other female characters. TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION . - - - - - - - 1 CHAPTER I THE PLAYERS AND THEIR SETTING . 5 CHAPTER II WINNIE . .......... 32 CHAPTER III WINNIE AMONG CONRAD'S MEN AND WOMEN . 60 CHAPTER IV MADNESS AND DESPAIR . 71 WORKS CITED . ... 76 WORKS CONSULTED . ...... 79 iii INTRODUCTION The Secret Agent, although primarily approached by the critics as a political novel, is also a social and a domestic drama played out in the back parlour of a secret agent's pornography shop, and on the dreary streets of London.

  • A Study of Illocutionary Acts in Heroes Series
    A STUDY OF ILLOCUTIONARY ACTS IN HEROES SERIES Achmad Nurdiansyah English Department, Faculty of Languages and Arts, State University of Surabaya Email:[email protected] Abstrak Sewaktu menyaksikan sebuah film atau serial televisi, orang-orang secara tak sadar mengamati sebuah aktivitas sosial berupa komunikasi antar para pemeran. Dengan meneliti sebuah serial televisi Amerika berjudul Heroes, peneliti berusaha mengadakan studi tentang tipe-tipe tindak tutur ilokusi beserta fungsi sosial dalam komunikasi melalui dialog di serial tersebut. Untuk mengidentifikasi tipe-tipe dan subtipe tindak tutur ilokusi dalam dialog, beberapa teori yang dicetuskan oleh Searle dalam Yule (1996) dan Bach & Harnish (1982) digunakan untuk penelitian ini, sementara teori fungsi sosial dalam tindak tutur ilokusi yang digagas oleh Leech (1983) digunakan sebagai landasan untuk mengidentifikasi fungsi sosial dari tipe-tipe tindak tutur ilokusi. Penelitian ini juga berusaha membuktikan bahwa tindak tutur representatif merupakan tipe ilokusi paling dominan dalam sebuah serial sebagaimana dalam sebuah film, serta mencermati pengaruhnya terhadap cerita di serial ini. Hasil pertama dari penelitian ini mendapati bahwa kelima tipe tindak tutur ilokusi ditemukan dalam naskah serial Heroes dengan 6351 temuan yang teridentifikasi sebagai ungkapan tindak tutur ilokusi, dengan kelima tipe tersebut adalah komisif, deklarasi, direktif, ekspresif dan representatif. Kedua, peran tindak tutur ilokusi sebagai fungsi sosial dalam serial ini dipengaruhi oleh gaya

  • Super Who? Super You! Week Two Day Five: Quick on the Draw!
    Super Who? Super You! Week Two Day Five: Quick on the Draw! A great resource for kids and teachers for this section is: So, You Want to Be a Comic Book Artist?: The Ultimate Guide on How to Break ... By Philip Amara Think of the comics you enjoy. What is it you enjoy about them? Getting started with comics is just about finding something to draw with and something to draw on. Challenge students into telling a story in three to six panels. As they grow more comfortable with these single page strips they can start moving on to longer stories. One way to start is by trying to depict something that happened to you today in your own life. At home, at school, on the bus. Just keep it short. Jot down a few ideas, a few lines. Don’t get caught up thinking there are any right or wrong ways to making a comic because there aren’t. Simply tell a story, draw it in pictures, and place it in a sequence. Because much of the comic book story can be told through the characters’ expressions and body language, your characters’ conversations can be brief and to the point. Since you don’t need a lot of it, the dialogue should be interesting, tell you something about the characters, and move the plot forward. You can use sound effects (also called onomatopoeia) to help tell your story and what’s happening too. Think about how to use your characters to best tell the story. Using one of your completed scripts or story prompts, draw a rough, quick sketch to correspond with each panel in your script.

  • Eract and Engage with Reality
    University of Alberta Consensus Narratives on the State of Exception in American TV Shows by Young Hoon Kim A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Department of English and Film Studies © Young Hoon Kim Spring 2011 Edmonton, Alberta Permission is hereby granted to the University of Alberta Libraries to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only.

The author reserves all other publication and other rights in association with the copyright in the thesis and, except as herein before provided, neither the thesis nor any substantial portion thereof may be printed or otherwise reproduced in any material form whatsoever without the author's prior written permission. Abstract The TV show is a central focus of American life, one that not only reflects but also produces social imaginaries for the American audience that support the way people interact and engage with reality. It is the nation‘s most influential storyteller, which dominates the nation‘s imagination and understanding of reality. This dissertation explores the political and cultural meanings of four TV shows from the George W. Bush era: The West Wing (1999-2007), Deadwood (2004-06), The Wire (2002-08) and Heroes (2006-10). In examining these TV shows, this dissertation aims to shed light on both the origins of the state of exception, its conduct, its purpose, and the possibility of meaningful critique of or resistance to the state of exception.
