GOD AND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE
The post contains 3 asighnments
1:GOD AND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE
“What, then, is the God I worship?”
Reading: Dorothy Day, introduction to The Long Loneliness , introduction on Brightspace in case
Reading: Augustine, Confessions, Book 1
Listening: Kendrick Lamar, “Sherane a.k.a. Master Splinter’s Daughter” and “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe”
the Genius Lyrics site ( HYPERLINK “https://genius.com/albums/Kendrick-lamar/Good-kid-m-a-a-d-city” https://genius.com/albums/Kendrick-lamar/Good-kid-m-a-a-d-city )
has crowdsourced annotations of the Lamar look at what other people have had to say about specific passages or even words.
several attempts on the internet to sort out the internal chronology of Good Kid, m.A.A.d City, which doesn’t (unlike Augustine) go straight from the beginning to the
end. It’s debateable, but I think this one is pretty good and you might find it helpful, especially as it stresses the difference between “K.dot” (the character who
voices these songs) and “Kendrick Lamar” (the author of the songs). What K.dot is saying is not always what Lamar believes, in other words. Here’s the link: HYPERLINK

like an English major. How are these three openings (Day, Lamar, Augustine) alike/different, in terms of style, content, or anything else? You can either make a list
or write a paragraph, but please have specific examples ready to point to in class when we discuss this question.
Based on experience with babies and small children, what do you think of Augustine’s view of childhood? Answer in a paragraph or so.
2:Religious studies
battlefield of the mind and the thought life of a Christian.
3: what extent can nationlism be seen as a force of bringup a nation closer toghather?
