1   Does your partner answer all of the questions or some?   If some, is it almost all, or hardly any?   Or somewhere in between?    Share what you see.    It might be, she skipped things and didn’t meant to.

Anna answered all of the questions.

2   Does your partner respond to prompts vividly or vaguely?   In other words, can you see what your partner’s thinking, feeling, exploring, sharing …   Or do you have only a dim sense of what’s going on inside the thought process?   Does the writing read as if anyone could have written it?  Or is it specific to your partner and only your partner could have said it!

Anna's work is very personal an vivid. She did a great job personalizing her work!

3  Does your partner include visuals?   Or are they missing?   Many, most ?  Some?  None?

Anna includes visuals for all of her responses.

4    Are the visuals interesting  complementary to the text,  evocative,  compelling in some way…  Or are they boring?  Or a copy of others’?

The visuals are really nice and relative to the answers. I like that she used personal photos of her and her friends and family, as it makes it more personal.

5  Is the drawing/computer art meaningful?   Does it convey a message?  Something your partner’s exploring?  Something your partner sees in her/their heart or mind’s eye?  Is it something you can see that your partner put effort into creating so to share one’s voice visually + uniquely?   (It’s not about artistic talent, but message!)

I love Anna's computer art drawing! It is fantastic and looks so beautiful! I want Anna to teach me computer art.

6  Do you have any suggestions for how your partner can strengthen her/their work?

I don't have any big suggestions, as everything looks great and is interesting!

7  What do you like best about your partner’s work?  (Be specific so she can build on it!)

I like Anna's honesty. It's clear she really took the assignment seriously and talked about herself personally.

8  What do you see in a new way for having engaged your partner’s work?

I see how Mary was independent and did not solely depend on God in a different way, and I actually agree with Anna's post more than my own!

1. Where are you and what are you doing, when  you feel most peaceful,  clear minded and strong? 

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the most peaceful, clear minded, and strong when I am at a concert. Concerts make me feel free and happy. Singing along to each song and dancing like nobody's watching is what brings me peace. Even though concerts are loud and crazy and do not represent the general meaning of peace, my definition of peace is being with the people you love and feeling like you have all the freedom in the world.

2A. What leads you to reach out to others for help? 

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing that people are struggling with similar problems leads me to reach out to others for help. If I am dealing with an issue I will talk to someone close to me. I find that expressing how you're feeling to someone truly helps you feel better. Confiding with someone who relates to you in some way is the best feeling. Sometimes reaching out to someone and receiving advice will help you to solve your problem.

Yes. If I am dealing with a specific issue, then I will go to someone who I feel comfortable confiding in. I, most of the time, reach out the my friends for help because I trust them more than anybody else.

It feels relieving when you reach out to someone and they give you the advice or help you need. It feels like weight being lifted off your shoulders and you can finally move on in life.

3A. When you hear, see or imagine the word G*d,  what comes to your mind?

# data[].attributes.body
When I see/imagine the word God I picture him as a cloud in the sky who is always watching over you and protecting you. When I hear the word God I think of the one who you can trust the most and the one who will love you unconditionally.

# data[].attributes.body
It is hard to imagine God as a person. I imagine him as a cloud because clouds are always above you, hovering over you and protecting you from the sun. God is like a cloud in a way he is protecting you from the evil and always hovering over you because he loves you. Like God, there are also different types of clouds and people perceive the clouds differently.

4. What do you experience or feel when you imagine you're standing on this precipice looking out into this expanse of beauty? 

# data[].attributes.body
I experience a feeling of peace, happiness, and thankfulness. I would feel happy and thankful that God blessed me with this gift of life. I would feel at peace just looking at what God created for the sake of the happiness of his people. Looking at the beauty of the world shows how much God loves and cares for us.

It makes me appreciate the life I was given and the world around me. It invites me to think of many ways to keep this beauty from deteriorating and to conserve the precious world I was brought upon. It invites me to think of ways to keep God's gifts to us protected.

# data[].attributes.body
I perceive this quote as us, People of God, using religion to confide in others. People are scared of being isolated from others, so they use religion and God as an idea that they are never alone. This idea is used to demonstrate that people depend on their religion and those who make up their religion as a safe place for them to be. Religion creates a sense of security for many people.

7B. Do you agree or disagree with this quote. Explain your experience/point of view. 

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with this quote personally because I would much rather confide and depend on my friends and family than my religion. I do agree, however, that certain people do depend on their religion, but I don't believe that dependence is the essence of religion. I feel that independence is the true essence of religion because, if anything, religion is teaching you to grow and become one with yourself as well as God. Religion, especially Catholicism, teaches that one cannot always depend on God for everything because God works in many ways, but he is unable to magically turn, for example, your History grade from a C to an A. You have to work hard and independently to receive the A you want. You can't always depend on religion when it is there to teach you how to be independent.

# data[].attributes.body
I would replace the word "Dependence" with "independence". As I stated in the last question, I believe that religion is there to teach you how to be independent in the Church, as well as the outside world. Religion helps you to grow mentally and opens you to various interpretations of the Church and society.

8A. Does Mary depend upon G*d--"absolutely"? Explain.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I do not believe that Mary depends upon God absolutely, but I think she has absolute faith in God and His intentions. Mary has faith in God and His plan for her and her new son, Jesus. Mary is independent and relies on taking care of her unborn son with the help of her significant other, Joseph. She believes that God has a plan for Jesus' future and, in some way, depends on God in that way, but I do not think she absolutely depends on God to help her take care of her son because she has to do that herself. Mary also started her life by not depending on God and doing everything herself. Mary chose to never sin and to be a good role model to all.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe Mary does experience independence with respect to God. Mary independently takes care of Jesus with God by her side. She raised him and nurtured him all by herself. Mary has complete and utter respect for God and, like I said in the last question, she respects and depends on God's plan for him, but she is more independent than she is dependent.

9A. What do you think? Does Jesus depend on G*d? Explain.

# data[].attributes.body
In some ways, yes, I believe Jesus depends on God. In one part specifically, Jesus depends on God when it is towards his death. When Jesus is praying in the garden before the Roman soldiers take him away, he prays to God and asks him if he is truly doing what God put him on Earth to do. In this part of the Bible, Jesus is depending on God and his own actions. He is asking God if he has done the right thing instead of depending on and believing in himself. Jesus is reliant on God and wants to do everything perfectly so he does not disappoint his Father in any way.

# data[].attributes.body
Unlike Mary, I think Jesus is less independent. Mary depended on God sometimes, but Jesus depended on God throughout his whole life. Jesus wanted God and his people to be proud of him and always did what God told him to do. Jesus' life was planned out by God before he was even conceived, so he was always dependent on God from the start. Jesus was never truly able to be independent, for God always told him what to do. When in a crisis, Jesus would turn to God to tell him what to do. Therefore, I believe Jesus was never truly independent since he was not given the opportunity to truly be independent.
