Book 2, Post 2

  REVIEW FINAL For Book 2, I would like to read  Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others.  At this point in my life, I have myself questioning what the next steps into my religious journey look like, and this book stood out to me. While looking at the list, I actually had a challenging time deciding what I wanted to read as everything from the self guidance books to ancient wisdom seemed fascinating and could apply to what I am looking to learn more about myself. Holy Envy stood out as I feel like Spiritual guidance is something I am missing in my life, and this book covers the experience of undoing what we already knew and learning what “God” means to us.  I grew up Roman Catholic, was baptized in a Polish church, and raised under the Polish Religion for a large portion of my life. I didn’t understand it much, nor align with it. Eventually going into middle and high school, I joined my childhood best friends christian youth group, continuing my religious exper...

Random Post 1

  I would like to take this time to write about a situation occurring on TikTok. Yes, on TikTok but I personally think it’s very shocking. There is a famous user named Mr. Prada on the social media platform TikTok. Terryon Thomas, famously known as Mr. Prada was a famous creator who often copied other creators content in a satirical way, but eventually grew to have his own personality and content, garnering over 8 million followers between two different accounts he created. Over the past couple of months, users had noticed that he seemed to be changing rapidly; his mental health deteriorating as he began behaving more erratically on social media, changing his appearance, shaving his head, and posting content out of the ordinary compared to his usual posts. I woke up one morning to my feed filled with content surrounding this creator, and it was shockingly not what I was prepared to see.   I woke up early one morning to find that Mr. Prada, or Terryon Thomas, had been accused o...

Book 1, Post 2 Final Review

  American Like Me by America Ferrera I chose to read American Like Me by America Ferrera as I am the child of immigrants and wanted to hear more perspective stories. Like Reshma in the second chapter of the book, I myself was born with a traditionally Polish name chosen by my mother, a Polish immigrant. I grew up under the nickname Anya, something more easily digestible for others, and only until I got older did I understand the significane of my parents decisions. I then chose to embrace my name and parents struggle to make a better life for themselves and family, I began going by Anastazja.  By reading this book, I am hoping to gain some more perspective on my own families decisions, as well as hearing other experiences living as an “outsider” in the United States. I also feel I do not get the opportunity to read more “casual” styles of writing and personal stories, so I am hoping to learn about different ways to voice stories and write with my own voice.  Post Book Re...
