1. How does the source relate to the topic?

This cartoon shows a rich man trying to buy his way into heaven by paying the pope. This technique back in the protestant reformation was called indulgences. King Henry the 8th knew this was wrong and he knew that the only way that God will bring you to heaven was faith and salvation. So he eventually, wrote the 95 thesis which was 95 complaints about the church. Next, after he wrote these complaints he went to the church and nailed the complaints on the church door. By doing this the poor people agreed with King Henry and they all began to start a new town with religious practices and rituals.

2. How did reading or viewing the source help you understand your topic better?

Viewing/reading this cartoon helped me realize that rich people will always find away to stow away from religion. I learned about that some rich good people like, King Henry the 8th can be religious and can have faith. Also,  King Henry later probably made the rich people think twice and realize what they are doing is wrong and they should just have faith and salvation to get their way to heaven.

3. How did the creator of the text get these ideas across to the reader or viewer?

This creator of the cartoon got the ideas of the rich buying their way into heaven by using imagery. When the rich man said, "I can't buy forgiveness?--What kind of crazy economic system is that?" Then, the reader realizes that buying your way to heaven isn't the right way to go and the rich people should just be a better person. the rich people and poor people could work together and have more faith and salvation in their life.

1. how does the source relate to your topic?

This video relates to my topic because it shows the peculiar differences between poverty (Rafet's lifestyle) and upper class( Ayse).  For example Ayse describes her wealthy lifestyle as familiar with and at ease in many different countries and cultures. But on the other hand Rafet's lifestyle he says is very different , "I have nothing at all in common with these people. My life and theirs are poles apart." On the other side of town away from the city life people like Rafet( religious Anatolian's),  live life with more religion in each other. The more secular elites and the emerging Islamic middle class may live side by side, but economy and religion separate them.

2. How did reading or viewing the source help you understand your topic better?

Viewing the video about Istanbul being separated from wealth and poverty with religion helped me understand that even though you say, win the lottery you shouldn't forget your faith and salvation in God: And you should not to forget to always believe and pray for others that are living in poverty. Also,, more wealthy people like Asye should be more in the world because she is a good example of a wealthy person with religion.

3. How did the creator of the text get these ideas across to the reader or viewer?

The video uses imagery in the video to show that rich people in Istanbul don't really have faith or salvation in their religion, or just don't believe in anything. So, when the video goes to the poverty religious people it makes the viewer believe that all the upper classes in Istanbul are all selfish and the viewer also feels devastated by the fact that their is two different societies in Istanbul.

1. How does the source relate to your topic?

This article about the poor being more religious states, "On August 27, 2014, the New York Times’ policy and statistics blog, The Upshot, wrote an article about the hardest places to live in the United States. The rankings, by county, included a variety of factors including education, income, unemployment, disability, life expectancy, and obesity. Based on the information, The Upshot identified ten counties clustered in the Appalachian and southeast regions of the country as the worst places to call home."  What was interesting was in these rough living settings of the ten counties in the Appalachians was that they flourished with religious rituals and practices  everyday. Also stated in the article was, " A study by independent research Dr. Tom Rees, published in the Journal of Religion and Society, suggests that in places without strong social safety nets to provide people with opportunities for upward mobility, people are more likely to rely on religion for comfort." This means that all over the world people that are very wealthy are least likely to rely more on religion, instead relying on fame and fortune.

2. How did reading or viewing the source help you understand your topic better?

After reading this article is realized the fact that poor people that live in poor settings are way more religious than very wealthy people. In the article the author explains why, with studies and research done by other people. Also, this article shows that even in the harshest environments keep your eye on the prize (whatever religion your in).

3. How did the creator of the text get these ideas across to the reader or viewer?

The author of the article used imagery to show that God can and will heal the suffering. Here is evidence from the article,  Why Poor People are More Religious, " As contradictory as it may seem, when someone is suffering it may console him or her to think that the end of the world is near—that God will bring it to a close and reward the faithful with everlasting joy. Doom and gloom predictions about the trials and tribulations that humanity will face before the apocalypse, prevalent in Christian fundamentalism, may also help some people attribute a higher purpose to their suffering, explaining it as “part of God’s ultimate plan.”

1. How does the source relate to your topic?

In the Great Gatsby God does appear, but it is only in George Wilson's dialogue, " when he lets his wife know that she can't fool God, and that he sees and judges all." Other characters in the Great Gatsby are not guided by the moral right and wrongs of religion or of God. The other codes that the other characters use to determine their behaviors for example, were a father's advice, or a self-serving mantra, or an undying love. "In Fitzgerald's jaded America, the only That exists takes the form of a billboard(the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg), that might be trying to suggest that capitalism rules, replacing where religion once did."

2. How did reading or viewing the source help you understand your topic better?

Reading the Great Gatsby helped me understand my topic better because the book showed that upper class people in the book and in real life tend to forget all about religion and moral rights. Instead, they tend to lean toward relying on their money, parents, and other things that have nothing to do with religion to get their ways. Also, there is still some people in the world that are upper class people that do believe in God, and have faith and salvation.

3. How did the creator of the text get these ideas across to the reader or viewer?

The author of the Great Gatsby used imagery to show that upper class citizens forgot about religion and or, leave religion absent. The author used the eyes of T.J. Eckleburg, or the billboard in Fitzgerald's jaded America to show that they believe in the billboard as their God: This shows that capitalism might rule, by which replacing religion away from its roots.

The fact that religion is absent among the upper classes of society suggests that moral standards are absent too.
