At the beginning of me reading this I was a little confused, at the narration. But as I began to read the story began to unfold. As it unfolded each line I began to read was deeper and deeper. It was as though someone was in my room reading me their experience of losing someone. As I began to read I could just picture someone sitting down and telling me their experience with losing a loved one love one and how it spiritual affected him/her. As I read the lines of the story and the narrator spoke about how they felt that God is not present in our time of trouble but in prosperity. I really picture myself counseling this person to the hope and love of Christ and how He is our present help in trouble. I guess I really got into the story and really began to put myself in the situation, I engaged each line as though I was talking to a friend about grief and the lost of someone. This article sort of reminded to the story of Joel only because of the mood of depression it really set. But in Joel later there was a sense of hope that was birth through all that grief and pain which was exploited in the beginning of this passage of reading. Another portion of the story I found kind of interesting was the description of “H” it kind of made me interested into to knowing more about that character and little bit more about the authors relationship with her, even though he did describe some a little bit about it I wanted more, because it would have gave me a little more depth about their relationship. But I did enjoy the story because it brought a sense of personable emotions and questions that do come into the minds of people who have grieved over a lost one.
I like this that you said: "It was as though someone was in my room reading me their experience of losing someone."
ReplyDeleteWow. What a thing to say. I think that that's a testament to Lewis' writing ability--and to your growth as a reader.
