My test in Religion

I got an A. I quote,

“Very good essay. You have done a very good job of describing how tradition, as sacred story and sacred action, works to provide resources for a person to deal with trials that come our way. Your thesis focusing on a starting point is excellent. This reinforces the idea that tradition does do all the work for a person. One still has to struggle to create meaning within the context of the threat. As in the Sisiutl story, one has to face the fear. And in some cases muster to will to risk dangerous action. But traditional story and action do give us tools to begin. You give evidence of understanding ceremonial action as connected to the process of making meaning of an event that may initially fall out of our normal worldview or cosmos.

Very good job.”

I took licence with the bolding and intallicing. Anyway, I should do some work or sleep or something. I just thought you all should know how good I am.
