Response due by Monday, December 15th for all three . . . please write thoughtfully for about fifteen minutes. . . 200 to 400 words.
While Francine Rivers' work is fictional, there are, nevertheless, families that are called upon to endure unimaginable suffering. Dynah, up until this point in her life, had largely been sheltered from any major tragedy. But now she must experience multiple injustices: her brutal rape, Ethan's ensuing insensitivity, the total lack of support from the Christian college, and now her parents' unresolved past. Please re-read the last part of chapter 5, starting on page 154, and in your own words explain any lesson that you might personally glean from the tragic circumstances being experienced by Dynah and her family. I am leaving this "open-ended," so you may go in any direction you choose. You may relate a situation that you are familiar with or simply share a moral lesson that might be learned as you attempt to empathize with the situation being described.
