All people have sin in their lives. Some people sin more than others. Do people know when their sin has a chance of being removed? Does anyone see what is right in front of them? Or has the world screwed our entire brain up. In today's world some aren't even aware of what sin is. In "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" Pelayo and Elisenda didn't see a miracle when it was "locked up with the hens".
Miracles only come once in a blue moon. Very few people have been lucky enough to expericence it. Those who have probably deserved it. I hope I would recognize a miracle being bestowed upon me unlike Pelayo and Elisenda. Instead of cherishing the moment, they decided to make quick cash out of it. what was so despicable was people from all over came to see their creation.
The 'old man' was given "mothballs" to eat. He refused them. Just like any other human would. Since the old man wouldn't stand cruel people would "throw stones at him". If i was the angel I sure wouldn't bless any one of those people. People don't even realize how rude they can be to others. some of them wanted to see him move so bad that they burned his side with an iron that's for branding sterrs. That right there is the definition of sin.
You made a very good argument when it comes to the definiton of sin and I loved your word choice.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I agree with the point you are making. Miracles happen all the time, although not all of them are as obvious as an angel falling from the sky. However, some people don't even realize it when it's right in front of them. People need to realize the sins they commit, and look for forgiveness, and they might just find one of those miracles.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree!
DeleteA sin is a sin, no matter how big or small. It's sad that now a days people can't distinguish their deeds as a sin or not.
ReplyDeleteSooo good!!
I completely agree with the fact that Pelayo and his wife never took in recognition the true signs of a miracle. Instead they took advantage of it all.
ReplyDeleteI love how you compared the story to the things that happen every day in life! Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteI like your figurative language at the begining of the second paragraph. It really made me think about how rare miracles< good job!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with everything you're saying! I absolutely love the statement you made saying "Since the old man wouldn't stand cruel people would "throw stones at him". If i was the angel I sure wouldn't bless any one of those people." because I wouldn't either, girl! When you do bad things you shouldn't be rewarded! Rewards would make a person think that it's okay to do things like that, and we both know it isn't! Good job!
ReplyDeleteIm confused, what do you mean by "The whole world screwed out entire brain up"
ReplyDeleteI was saying the world has changed our definition of what sin truly is.
Deleteyeah what he said ^^^
