Hello, Second Period!

For your ORB written assignment, I am requiring you to make three postings abou your ORB on this blog. You must choose three different options from the "blogging optins" handout (on First Class). I am looking for your commentary, which should make obvious why your ORB "educates your conscience."

Please, adhere to the expectations explained on the rubric (also on First Class).

Happy blogging!

At the very end of Mack's stay in the shack, God took him to where his daughter's body was. Mack forgave the killer there.
" 'I do not love him.' 'Not today you don't. But I do, Mack, not for what hes become, but for the broken child that has been twisted by his pain I want to help you take on that nature that finds more power in love and forgiveness than hate.' "(225). The quote shows how deep God is and how he loves us all. it also shows how Mack still has a cold heart towards the killer. It foreshadows his acceptance of love and forgiveness. It also shows Mack where his child's body is so he can go get her. It shows Mack that he can forgive and he can live without the pain. This scene changes the way Mack looks at life. he used to be cold on the inside, but he let all that go and now he can live a happy life.
