Semrau on Conservation, Reusing, and Recycling

Semrau's point is revealed in the sentence "Have you figured out yet that I'm going as a cadaver, an anatomical gift?"

Semrau keeping information from us actually helps the intent of the story. He begins with "Conserve, Reuse, Recycle." Anyone reading this would definitely think he was speaking of the thousands, even millions, of pop cans that people get rid of each day. You have to read further into the story to realize what he is talking about. He even goes on to say that he is going to go to medical school at such an old age. He is just waiting for his acceptance letter. He then starts talking about his bones in a jar that he keeps. Many people probably wonder how he is going from reusing to his bones, when in reality, he is actually talking about his body. It all makes sense when he gets to the line "Have you figured out yet that I'm going as a cadaver, an anatomical gift?" The reader then can understand that he is talking about his body. Overall, I think it gives the reader a more interesting read, which is probably what they are looking for in the news.

Luther's Song

In this hymn of Luther's, he explains the greatness and power of God. He uses emotion in the lines, “Marvel now, O heaven and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth,” to express that God is so great, he chose to be born of an inferior people and he did it all for us. Luther also writes, “Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned.” Christ suffered more than any of us will ever suffer here on earth, but he is so powerful that he still now sits on the throne in heaven. God is so powerful and great that his death was actually a sign of victory over the devil. Luther also wants us to stay in Christ's light and do not let the darkness block it from our sight. “Let not sin o'ercloud this light, Ever be our faith thus bright,” writes Luther. We must stay strong in our faith and not let anyone or anything get in the way. Stay in the right path if we want to be with him forever. We must always praise God in everything that we do. Praise God, his son, Christ, and the Holy Spirit eternally.

Rev, Borghardt's Sermon Diagnostic

1) 19 times

2) slain, died, rose, reigns, took sin, makes holy

3) Edward's theme in his sermon is that God takes his rage out on sinners that do not believe in him and Edward's  tries to scare people into faith by describing the horrible actions God will take if we do not come to the faith. Rev. Borghardt's sermon is about how even on All Saint's Day, we should focus on Christ who made it possible for the saints to be in heaven with him, as well as recognize that saint's for their faith. Borghardt's sermon focuses on Christ's recognition while Edward's sermon strikes fear into the people who do not believe.
