I defend the counter system/subversive kingdom model over the alternative presented based on biblical questions (Snyder, 2011). The first question to consider is if the model affirms God’s sovereignty? The subversive model claims God’s sovereignty opposed to the utopian model that least stresses this note and some other version deny God’s supreme power (Snyder, 2011). Second, does the model stress that the kingdom of God is historical and not some story (Snyder, 2011)? Yes, some versions of the counter system model stress the historical nature of the kingdom, however models one, two, three, and four do not highlight the historical nature of God's kingdom (Snyder, 2011).

No matter one’s career choice, family life, ethnicity, or culture, finding and owning one’s personal identity is a persistent struggle that can last an entire lifetime. One is surrounded by media and messages feigning “the perfect life” which begin to consume one’s thoughts with “what if’s” or “if only’s”. Lucy Grealy struggles with defining her self-image in her autobiography, Autobiography of a Face. Throughout Grealy’s accounts of her battle with cancer, bullies, and her self-esteem, readers get a raw, painful, yet incredibly relatable look into the elements that can contribute to self-image. In writing Autobiography of a Face, Grealy leaves readers with a chilling lesson: only readers themselves, not peers or the media or society, can choose how to define their lives.

Lucy Rose Coren, author of Victimhood and the politics of representation on the migrantvoice blog, was traveling from Calais to Dover with members who volunteered at a camp. One of the members explained that men and women on the camp are resilient and depicted differently through media. Images of refugees make them look miserable and suffering (which they are), but they are optimistic and hopeful which the images do not capture. Coren states that, “By reducing the state of refugees simply to that of “victim”, we are disempowering them and ultimately harming any chance of change in our understanding and acceptance.” Our own representation of refugees limits migrants to represent themselves and have a voice.

In 6th grade, at my school, Pilot Mountain Middle School, everyone had their own lockers, and due to bad scheduling everyone also switched classes at the same time. In the hallway, when everyone switched, and got their stuff and went to their next class, it was a gigantic mess. It was loud, crowded, and very hot in the hallway during these times. You were lucky if you had a top locker because it was so crowded, that if you had a bottom locker you got squished. One day a guy named Nathan Sheets was bending down to get his stuff out of his bottom locker and Dylan Sawyers, who had the locker directly on top of his, came up to his locker, opened it, and was getting his stuff.

This upcoming election will pose an especially interesting aspect with respect to environmental science and sustainability. The two main political parties have their party platform statements that include their own viewpoints on some of these issues we face.

First I will be discussing the issue of power, or in this case, powerlessness. I believe that in general, children do not hold a lot of power in this society. Most children in the film are restricted to what they are allowed to do. They have rules they must follow and punishments when they are broken. Which can be seen at Lucy’s 7th birthday party.

She was surrounded by people she could trust, people she couldn't, and people she thought she could. And even though the book, as well as the rest of the series, has many ups and downs and plot twist the thing that gets her through and really keeps her alive is those around her. I always think about my family and my friends and how if I ever have anything difficult or stressful that I have to get through then they are the ones that I can count on to pull me through, and Lucy really helped me to remember that. I think it is so important because I usually concentrate on the situation at hand when really I can concentrate on how I'm going to get through it and that is with the help of those around
