PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!

By
Welcome to the 2017-2018 University of Mobile Honors blog! Before you get started, please make sure to add your name to the profile for your blogger account in order to receive credit for your posts. Here is a layout of what we (the Honors Council) are looking for in your posts:
  1. 1-2 paragraphs (5-8 sentences please) discussing an idea or thought you had while reading the assigned material. This can include questions, themes, character discussion, foreshadowing, or just about anything regarding the text.
  2.   2 comments on others' posts. These need to be actual comments, furthering the discussion. For all that is good in this world, please do not comment "Good job!" or "Cool." We are not looking for essays, but actually engage these ideas. 1-2 sentences will do for most comments. If you want to do more, go right ahead.
  3. Please edit your post with a P.S. listing the students' posts whom you commented upon. (Should look like this-->    P.S. I commented on Natalie and Olivia's posts.)
And that is just about it. Remember these posts will be on the assigned reading for each Tuesday. They are due by 11:59 PM the night before class. Scores for late posts will be adjusted accordingly.

If you have any questions, please text me, Natalie Schuler, at (205) 913-7451 and I will get back with you as soon as possible.

These posts start this session, so enjoy reading. Your first posts is due Monday night by 11:59 PM. We can't wait to see what all you have to say!

An Honest Reaction to Reading "Honest to God"

By
Originally I said in my last blog post that I liked this book, but I have sort of changed my mind. It is not that I hate it or anything, it is just weird and I don’t really agree with what John Robinson is saying most of the time. I appreciate that he is trying to write something different and new, but my problem is that some of the ideas are just a little too radical for my taste, and I disagree with him a lot. In the seventh and last chapter of the book, Robinson himself acknowledges his radicalness and writes about how he knows that this type of thought on religion is controversial. He goes on to write how all great thinkers were seen as controversial when they first started and says, “Every new religious truth comes as the destroyer of some other god”. To further prove this point, he uses the example of how Socrates was condemned as an atheist for not believing in multiple gods, and while it is true that Socrates was a great philosopher who was not seen as so when he was alive, I ...

Raphael and a man walk into Eden...

I'll just start off by saying Raphael is one of the three named archangels in Scripture we hear the least about, and I thoroughly enjoy just reading and seeing his name pop up. Regardless, I want to touch on Adam's recounting of his own..."birth". Take that with a grain of salt as Adam was not physically born, but rather he simply became. In truth, we should all be able to give a similar account to their first memory of consciousness and fully aware. Adam was created, but he realized he could walk, talk, and speak without first learning. Imagine being able to think clear thoughts in your native language and be a functioning individual right out of the womb. It's an incredible thought, and Adam can give a recall of this like it were yesterday...which it might have been, who knows? Aside from that, Adam could even give an account to Eve's creation. The Bible says nothing pertaining to this matter so this is where Milton does a bit of adlibbing and writes around ...

OK so, honors project! Honestly I really loved it as a whole. I said this already in the video, but I feel like I personally could've done better. I just feel like I didn't have enough time to completely process some questions and be able to give my best responses. I really enjoyed reading the O'Connor piece, which I think was everyone's favorite anyway. I love narrative stories like that, but honestly I'm glad I got to be in the Russell group. I feel like that group was the easiest to argue and answer from, honestly. As a whole, I would love to do a project like this again in later semesters. It was a lot of fun and time FLEW by.
