Christianity

Christianity Focus Group


 * You've got a good start on your wiki but you need to reflect, connect, wonder, and pose questions relating to your images and quotes. You need to add your annotations and the HOW it (quotes, images, movies, songs, etc.) connect to //Life of Pi.// And, you need to add your first names at the top of the page along with your class period, so I know who is in what group. (no points until fixed) Thanks! Mrs. Davis

This group is following Pi as he explores Christianity. They will relate words, phrases, quotes, symbols, etc. to the nature of God and how faith translates to life.

Three quotes: "Religion is darkness..." (Pg. 34) (2nd Period) http://www.seblester.co.uk/core/assets/gallery/illustrations/photos/Faith1.jpg (2nd Period)

"A number of my fellow religious-studies students -- muddled agnostics who didn't know which way was up, who were in the thrall of reason, that fool's gold for the bright -- reminded me of the three-toed sloth; and the three-toed sloth, such a beautiful example of the miracle of life, reminded me of God." (pg. 5) (2nd Period)

"A good natured smile is forever on it's lips." (Pg. 5) (2nd Period)

"Don't listen to the harsh reality or it will depress faith." (Pg. xi) (2nd Period)

__You Raise Me Up__ //Made Popular By Josh Groban// When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... To more than I can be.

I think that this song by Josh Groban (with religous symbols) connects to Pi because the character in the song finds strength and comfort in God. Pi finds comfort and a great connection with God aswell. He has put his trust and God and has found happiness and peace woth his spitual life. No matter what religon he is he loves God and has turned his life over to him and feels at peace with the decission to do such and thing and that is very courages and rare for someone his age. (Period 1 Brendan Parks)

//"It is no use. Today I die. I will die today. I die"// pg 303 Pi know he will die but doesn't curse God or feel bad he has strong faith and doesn't care like the following exerpt from Halleujah written and orginally writen by Jeff Buckley... Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you To a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Look how close you are!"// pg 123 "//Vishnu preserve me, Allah protect me, Christ save me..."// pg 122 Richard Parker is symbolic of all the challenges and fears we face in life like in the video above everyone has something wrong or struggles in life struggles are there and Pi finds comfort in religion.

//"They both claim Abraham as theirs.Muslims say the God of the Hebrews and Christians is the same as the God of Muslims . They recognize David, Moses and Jesus as prophets."// pg 91 //"Why can't I be Hindu, a Christian and a Muslim?"// pg 93

I think Pi gets the concept of coexisting he has been three religons and just wants to love god. (Posted by Period 1 no copyright infringements intended)
