Conserve, reuse, recycle.

"Have you figured out yet that I'm going as a cadaver, an anatomical gift?"

Semrau intentionally leaves the information about to help get the reader interested in the article and to want to keep reading. He gets the readers attention by not telling them what he is talking about right away and waiting till almost the end so the reader is hooked and want to know what kind of going green he is talking about. Him doing that helps people see that you can go green in other ways and helps the intent of the essay a lot. The intent of the essay is that he wants people to see going green as not just recycling paper and bottles but as he puts it “reusing” your body and probably helping out other people.

The article was effective it kept my attention because it was different and made you wonder what he is getting at till you get to that sentence and finally understand that he wants to reuse his body. If he would of said that at the beginning they gone through with the rest of what he said he would lost peoples attention. This way though he keep their attention through the whole article and he is able to get people to think about “conserve, reuse, recycle” in a different way.

Savior of the Nations, Come.

The main message of hymn Savior of the Nations Come is that Jesus came to this world to die and be raised for the dead for us. Luther is trying to show us that God chose everything he did for a reason and that it all goes back to Jesus dying for us. He is trying to get across that the biggest sacrifice anyone could do was Jesus giving up his life for the world and we should praise and honor him. He wants us not to just pray and give thanks every once in awhile but actually see what Jesus did to us and understand why and how he came to this world. The language tool that he uses is diction, without diction the hymn would still have the same meaning, but it would not be as powerful. Words such as disowned and enthroned are more powerful than words like reject or install. Yes they still get the point across Jesus was rejected by the world and still to be installed in heaven with God but it does not have as much as an impact and is sort of just looked over and not thought about without those words.

3. The theme of Rev, Borghardt’s sermon was that Jesus died to save us. Whereas Edwards sermons theme was to scare people into behaving and believe in God. Borghardt wanted to help people see the salvation that God gives us through Christ dying on the cross and wanted us not to be scared of God and as long as we believe. Edwards was using hell to scare us into believing, he was showing us all the negatives what God could do to us. They are totally different messages, one tells you of your salvation and the other tells of your damnation.
