Hegemony

There hasn't been too many situations where I can say I've been hegemonized by a teacher. Although, I can say I've dealt with hegemony with other Christians. Sometimes I feel as if they try to dominate over me when they see I do not live the same as they do. I feel judged and shut down when they realize I may not have the same beliefs as they do. I believe that I should be able to express my beliefs without being belittled or judged.

Connecting with Hester

One time me and my family went camping. I was probably about 5 years old if not younger. I went bike riding with some friends and when I came back to my camper my family wasn't there. I was trying to get in touch with my mom through the walkie talkie and she gave me direction to where she was at. I spent a few hours wandering around the campsite to find her. It was nighttime before I finally went to somebody's camper and asked them to help me find my mom. This is definitely a time where I felt lonely.

Sugar is what you taste like
And I think you're hot stuff.
I bought you Mike and Ike,
You'll love it, sholl 'nuff.

Be mine, that would be sweet.
You should really text me!
Before you get beat.
Come on, you're hot and I think we both agree.

The Devil and Tom Walker

Tom Walker could be considered a very unfaithful man. Him and his spouse both cheat each other. He obtains the title of a liar. Tom is a very greedy person. So much so that he sold his soul to the Devil one day so that he would be promised gold. Tom did not care about his wife. He let her try to bargain with the Devil before he did, probably knowing she would try to argue with the Devil. This caused her death, and once again Tom portrays his greediness by not grieving for his dead wife but instead worries about the values she might've left behind. Tom agrees to be a broker in the nearby town and is merciless. Tom becomes a hypocrite as he decides to start attending church so that he might not be damned to hell, which he is anyways.
