Final Paper

For my final project, I chose the Parable of the Lost Son (Luke 15:11-32), having hearing this many times. I was well interested in this subject. I asked my mother questions including, easy opinion questions up to hard-thinking questions. She had to think really hard for a half an hour span for some of these questions, including, “who does the older son remind you of?”. After a while, we came up with 5 substantial answers and our conversation ended.
The first question I asked her was which person she related most to in the story, giving her a word box of the older son, the father, or the “prodigal” son. Then I said “Why?” and told her to explain her reasoning. This was a fairly easy and arguably the fastest question she responded to. She answered that she most relates to the younger son. She said, “I know that no matter what I do in my life, no matter what I think about myself, or what is my social status at this time, in my heart I always know that I am always loved and accepted by my heavenly father. She believes that God is always there for us and will always forgive our sins no matter what the degree is, even murdering your family, which is a metaphor to leaving them and dumping them, trying to start a new life—which doesn’t work out in this story. Her answer related to mine, for if I was to be interviewed I would’ve chosen the younger son and said something similar to what she did.
The second question was “If you were the father, how would you react when your lost son came back? Why do you think the father reacts as he does in the story?” This was more a personal question, which involved ideal thinking and brainstorming for my mom. After about five minutes, she replied saying that she would be very happy and relieved. She strongly stated, “I praise that the father in the tale was able to overcome his frustration and anger that his son abandoned him, and showed him the most important feeling,

    I found it very interesting as to how she views the religion, and how she connects it through her fiancé. Its almost as if she has a connection with religion only because of her fiancé. This is interesting because religion is a very important thing to some people. Its very personal and self-involved and the fact that she is involved because of her fiancé is a bit questionable until she makes it clear herself.…

    The oldest sister, Patria, came across many complications throughout her life but she did not have to go through it alone. Patria was the oldest Mirabal sister of the four girls. She was the sister who wanted to go away and become a nun; however her Papa disagreed upon the matter “Patria as a nun would be a waste of a pretty girl” (Alvarez 11). Once Patria was sent away to school she realized being the religious one of the Mirabal family was indeed what she wanted, even if she had to disappoint someone of her family. It takes a strong willed person to be able to stand up against her family and go after what she believes in, no matter if anyone important to her has different ideas upon the matter. Once Patria realized that the school was no longer suited for her needs, she then returned home to help Papa out with the farm. Patria later married the love of her life, and they had two kids; Noris and Nelson. During this time period it was a blessing from God to be blessed with the presence of another life. Patria was so excited, until she discovered something was wrong with her third child, “And I realized I was giving birth to something that was dead” (52). No mother can ever imagine losing a child. In order to get over the incident and move on with one’s life one has to be able to believe in herself and…

    She believes she is morally superior to those younger than her. She also believes she has the right to judge the goodness of others and tell them how to live their lives. The grandmother seems quite oblivious to reality as she heads the family to somewhere completely different than where she thought they were. The tragic wreck was all due to the grandmother’s ignorance. Towards the final moments of her life, she instructs the Misfit to pray, despite the fact she lacks the sincere qualities herself necessary to form a prayer. As she grows afraid of what will happen to her, she agrees with the Misfit and changes her mind about Jesus rising from the dead. Her doing so reflects she is confused and unsure of her beliefs making her a very unlikely recipient of…

    Because I believe the foundation of living is to serve others with the tools God has provided, I use the Bible as a guiding resource, which both she and her siblings were taught as children from the environment in which she was raised to think and to act. It is not until we are adults that we have a sense of individualism. One must define his/her own beliefs and values in life. We are unique just as God created us. One does not have to define who he/she is with scriptures in order to best understand his/her personal and professional beliefs. Our lives are influenced within our environments; our values and beliefs are a continuous growth. God provides individuals with the resources and the tools in life to strengthen our beliefs and validate our values.…

    I learned two new interesting things about my family history while doing this project. One thing I learned about my family 's history is that my grandpa fought in World War II. He was in the Air Force. He was actually in France for a little while during the war. After he served his 4 years he went back to the Air Force and taught rookie pilots what to do in an air warfare situation. The other new thing I learned about my family history is that my step-grandma 's daughter, Katie, was a really good high school softball player. Her team won state once and the following year they placed 2nd in nationals. She played 1st base. She would 've played in college but she tore her rotator cuff so she couldn 't play anymore. That is what interesting things I learned about my family history while doing this project.…
