I love the Devotional perspective - especially how he learned something so poignant from a Catholic religion course and in talking about a man who grew up as Protestant (see the Wikipedia article about him)! As my husband likes to say, "I'll quote Snoopy, the dog, if it is truth!" I love how we can learn all sorts of things from each other - regardless of our religious views, political assurances, and even the ages we live through!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06383125109198446007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805897160601172640.post-60628281863106569322010-11-03T19:30:00.851-07:002010-11-03T19:30:00.851-07:00I'm really glad you posted this because I'...I'm really glad you posted this because I've been thinking a lot about the allegory of the cave recently.

I would say that the lighted rectangles are the shadows of the real objects that pass before the fire. How can we escape from living our lives chained behind computer screens?! If we spend to much time on the computer, who will have real face to face communications. How will react when we are forced to leave this "cave"?Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454987328418560124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805897160601172640.post-52966923928170952322010-10-27T23:16:06.934-07:002010-10-27T23:16:06.934-07:00Plato also taught using an allegory of a cave (htt...Plato also taught using an allegory of a cave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_Cave).

I want to better utilize Facebook, email, this blog, and twitter to share my testimony. Like the missionaries said, I don't want what I write to sound starchy and prefabricated. To prevent that, I will be more active online, be more personal, and add lots of humor to my stuff. When I get an online following, I can be a great force for good by sprinkling/frosting my blog/updates with the gospel.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454987328418560124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805897160601172640.post-50142034010157984942010-10-27T08:48:52.728-07:002010-10-27T08:48:52.728-07:00Great job of being proactive about this cause.

Not only did he have the ideas of the Enlightenment, Uniformitarianism, and Romanticism going for him. He happened to visit a spot on earth where animals aren't afraid of humans, are easy to study, and clearly exhibit the ideas of change and natural selection.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454987328418560124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805897160601172640.post-41345281536909515792010-10-19T06:47:46.143-07:002010-10-19T06:47:46.143-07:00I agree- understanding the context behind Darwin&#...I agree- understanding the context behind Darwin's observations and research is helpful to completely understanding his conclusions.Krist Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142048492296846438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805897160601172640.post-62714810623745193662010-10-19T01:08:19.192-07:002010-10-19T01:08:19.192-07:00I love this post Andrew!

All the bad things that happen to Edmond Dantes, despite his innocence, conjure up sad and dark emotions - a very Gothic trait. Also, Gothic ideas are presented in Dantes' imprisonment because it is a form of isolation ad Rhett mentions in the video. His vary dark, damp, and cold prison cell also paint a visual portrait that is quite Gothic.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454987328418560124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805897160601172640.post-805913854062179072010-10-15T15:26:07.192-07:002010-10-15T15:26:07.192-07:00Unfortunately the video gets cut off right as Kurt...Unfortunately the video gets cut off right as Kurt was talking about drugs. As far as Romanticism is concerned, drugs are a way to intensify feelings and emotions. In the novel Edmond Dantes uses drugs to do just that. Also, during that romantic time period, people were quite fascinated with drugs and medicine which is evidenced by the curiosity that people had over the Count of Monte Cristo's sleeping pills.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454987328418560124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-805897160601172640.post-18060442953829310152010-10-15T14:41:02.249-07:002010-10-15T14:41:02.249-07:00The Count of Monte Cristo is full of historical re...The Count of Monte Cristo is full of historical references.
