Greg And His Brother Roderick Analysis
My reading began with an introduction and with a young teenager named Greg and how him and his brother Rodrick always argue and their parents say they are showing a bad example for their little brother Manny because he is only three years young and he draws pictures of his brothers arguing and him in the middle crying. One of the reasons why Greg and his brother Rodrick argue is because when their parents ask them to do the dishes Rodrick locks himself in the bathroom and one hour later Rodrick comes out of the bathroom and Greg is already finished.

    Several authors, like Bill Coplin and Marshal Gregory have very strong views about liberal education. Coplin, believes schools should be more job preparation oriented, while Gregory feels the need of liberal arts isn’t just about getting a job, but about being able to find our purpose in life and live our lives fully. Another article written by Jerry Logan and Janel Curry expresses feelings very similar to those of Gregory’s. The approach taken by Gregory, Logan, and Curry gives a very strong case for why Christians should pursue a liberal education. Christian liberal arts education prepares people for their careers, while also preparing people to be ready to do whatever God may ask of them.…

    Dr. Guiness said that there is nothing higher than Christian ambition. He began telling a story about a student who asked him during one of his lectures: “if you would be given a chance to pick a generation you would like to be in, which generation would you choose?” He thought about it for a second and answered, “your generation”.
