First Semester Reflection
If the screenr above does not work, click here!
I also learned a lot about the writings of early British history! I learned that the true meaning of them is in a lot of the author's personal stories. A lot of those things are easily relatable to modern things!

Hymn
I Refuse by Josh Wilson
In my opinion, this hymn is very inspiring to apathetic Christians like myself. In just the first few lines, the song describes my Christian life.
"Sometimes I, I just want to to close my eyes, and act like everyone's alright, when I know they're not. This world needs God, but it's easier to stand and watch, I could say a prayer and just move on, like nothing's wrong."
This song inspires me to encourage my friends and I to go out and do stuff for God. I think many of the people at Hanalani do not feel the need to share the Gospel. However, this song continually challenges me to grow in my relationship with God.
"But, I refuse. 'Cause I don't want to live like I don't care, I don't want to say another empty prayer, Oh I refuse, to sit around and wait for someone else, to do what God has told me to do myself, oh I could choose, not to move but I refuse."

A Modest Proposal
This was the most questionable readings that I have ever read. At first, I thought I was reading the wrong thing because it was so weird and different! Why did I think this? The title is called "A Modest Proposal." What is modest about selling children to eat?!? That is just disgusting. I think Swift's writing made me think how thankful I should be about my life. I have it SO good! I'm not ever sold to people for food! In addition, this writing also made me question what I eat everyday. It literally made me scared to eat Mcdonald's or any other junk food. This writing was awfully disgusting and ugly. However, it teaches others to be thankful for what you have! I don't think anyone in our state would allow newborn children to be fed to others because of the hard economic times that are happening today. Swift successfully challenges a family to be more loving and respectful.
