Conserve, Reuse, Recycle!

1. The sentence that best shows Semrau's point is, "Of the three, I prefer to focus on reuse."

2. I believe that the intent of the article is to show how Semrau "goes green" with his own body. Waldemar does not want to retire after supposedly retiring after his General Motors and from Dow Chemical Company. Semrau wants to continue to reuse his body and work forever. He goes on to discuss about how the chairman of Cascade Engineering told him about the three stages of one's professional life. Semrau, who is now 75, has surpassed all three of these stages and now is not sure what to do. This shows that Waldemar wants to figure a way to reuse himself for the sake of the community. Semrau "reuses" his self by fulfilling a childhood dream of going to medical school at Harvard Medical School and becoming a surgeon. He believes that he will be accepted regardless of his age. Semrau believes in a fortune cookie that said, "you will be involved in many humanitarian projects."

Saviors of the Nation, Come

The hymn, Saviors of the Nation, Come, mainly talks about Christ being born into our world and his rule over all the nations. Luther's use of diction allows for a better understanding of the theme which is that Christ is Lord and he is to be praised. Luther uses words in each stanza that leads to this theme. For example, in the first stanza, he uses "marvel" to describe how miraculous his birth is. In the second stanza. he says "not by human flesh and blood" which describes how Christ was born holy. The third stanza, "undefiled" and "enthroned" show that he was perfect at birth and was born a king. The fifth stanza uses "boundless" and the whole last line "When shall we its glories see?" shows that his kingdom is forever and not held to just one place and then the last line shows that it is full of 'glories". Following that stanza, Luther uses the word "devine", showing that Christ is devine at all times. In the final stanza, he uses "eternally", showing that Chirst will be here forever, until his second coming. The entire last stanza says that we should praise him eternally.

Rev. Borghardt Sermon vs Edwards' Sermon

1.) 23 times: makes holy, smiling, slain(3), is, took, died(3), makes, was slain, lives(2), reigns, rose, put


2.) The themes of Edwards' sermon and Rev. Borghardt's sermon are very different. Edwards' sermon speaks of our condemnation. He says how we deserve to die and go to hell. The sermon mostly talks about how we are all sinners because he tries to convert them using fear, but points out a few times that Christ will save us. Borghardt's sermon on the other hand is the complete opposite. He talks about Christ doing good to save us. He used positive ideas to convert people to the faith. Also, he speaks about Christ's second coming. It is very positive, unlike Edwards'.
