Sentence imitation

"The preaching goes on, interrupted with dutiful 'amens' It would be nice if someone would read this sad-eyed crowd the sermon on the mount, accompanied by a rousing commentary on income inequality and the need for a hike in the minimum wage. But Jesus makes his appearance here only as a corpse; the living man, the wine guzzling vagrant and precocious socialist, is never once mentioned, nor anything he ever had to say. Christ crucified rules, and it may be that the true business of modern Christianity is to crucify him again and again so that he can never get a word out of his mouth."
-Barbara Ehrenreich, Nickeld and Dimed. 


Marriage is Marriage, I'm tired of hearing "Adam and Steve" It would be nice if marriage was seen as a right for all human beings instead of a straight person's privilege, honestly we should just refer to it human rights rather than gay rights. but many Christians are just obsessed with the rules; the restrictions, the do and don't list given to them by a supposedly higher power, instead of the central message. God's rules come first, instead of the welfare of his people because people are more concerned about ensuring their spot in heaven instead of what comes out of his mouth.

  1. I thought you translated your idea to the sentence structure pretty well-there were some grammatical errors, but for the most part you did well! I totally agree with you, and I think you approached this issue with clarity and a logical argument. Good job!

  2. you did a great job! in some parts the structure was not completely the same. For example, in the beginning you used "" instead of ''. Your writing was very clear and flowed. I completely agree with your point! You did an amazing job!!

  3. I really like the topic that you chose and I think the paragraph that you chose to mirror was good too! I agree with Millie and Stewart that you did stray from copying the sentence the exact some way, however overall your message was conveyed brilliantly and I think you did a good a good job to get your point across to the readers.
