To respond to both Mary Katherine and Emma Grace...

Mary Katherine, I believe the first part of your critique of Emma Grace's post is misplaced. If I am correct, the first two lines of your second paragraph in your response suggests that Emma Grace came to the conclusion that the ascetic life is one that lacks work. Considering Emma Grace says the following "But is he calling them not to work? Absolutely not" and ends her post with "It seems that Jesus is calling people to work," I first thought I had misread your post.

This further led me to believe that your reading of Emma Grace's post gave you the impression

Octavia Butler uses symbolism to highlight how the irregular occurrence of time travel forces Dana to accept slavery and how her past will “live” in her presence. Dana is forced to assimilate to the past because she has no control over her fate, and her life in the past revolves around slavery. The fact that Dana quickly transitions from the past to the present shows that she is quick to accept this time of slavery even though she is not mentally prepared for it. After Dana is disturbed by the inhumanity that the children show by playing an auction game, she says, “The ease. Us, the children… I never realized how easily people could be trained to accept slavery” (Butler 101).

When FDR said, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself,” he explains when being afraid of something, one must face their fear. If one avoids it, it will stay with them and will not go away unless it is confronted. He is saying that the fear of something is probably worse than the event turns out to become.

We live in a society that has increasingly demoralizes love, depicting it as cruel, superficial and full of complications. Nowadays it is easy for people to claim that they are in love, even when their actions say otherwise, and it is just as easy to claim that they are not when they indeed are. Real love is difficult to find and keeping it alive is even harder, especially when one must overcome their own anxieties and uncertainties to embrace its presence. This is the main theme depicted in Russell Banks’ short story “Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story,” as well as in Richard Bausch’s “The Fireman’s Wife.” These narratives, although similar in some ways, are completely different types of love stories.
