An Analysis Of Laura Durham's Grace Is A Gift
The title of this narrative is “Grace is a Gift.” Author Laura Durham wrote this after learning an important lesson about grace.
Laura's third grade teacher inspired her. In third grade Laura was told to bring her spelling test to school signed by her parents, or she wasn’t able to participate in the fun class activities they were doing that day. Laura forgot to bring her spelling test signed by her parents. So she wasn’t supposed to be able to participate in the fun activities that day. But her teacher ended up letting her do it.
This taught Laura a lesson, that grace is a gift. Grace is not given to you when you do something good, it is given as a gift.

    Tending to Grace

    In the novel Tending to Grace, the readers learn quite a bit about change from Kimberly Newton Fusco through Cornelia. The author portrays many scenarios where Cornelia has the chance to change and she has to choose whether or not she will. She comes upon opportunities big and small, and it’s up to her how she will handle them and how she will grow as a person. She is very passive throughout the story as the readers have seen but gradually becomes more outspoken and independent. She had always lived a life of silence and shame until Agatha brought the person hiding in herself out of her. Therefore the novel proves that change is at the hand of the individual, it is up to him/her whether or not he/she will change…
