1) I found a lot of information in this class very helpful. It allowed me to expand my thoughts and analyze certain things in life in different ways.
2) My favorite part of the class was creating this blog and posting blog assignment through this website.
3) The most challenging aspect of class was the essays and attendance. I have attendance problems because of health issues and it is always an issue in every class I take.
4) I believe I can use the skills I learned in this class in my everyday life because of the processes I will use to analyze and criticize certain aspects and artifacts of life.
5) How can I better my grades in the last week of classes? I can fix this issue by studying and using analysis from this class to understand the classes I have taken and apply my findings in my exams.

Dealing with Hardships Using Religious Views
In today's society there are many different views on religion. Christianity is the view of singer/songwriter Carrie Underwood. In her song, "My Temporary Home," she describes the situations of three different people in their journey's through life. They all are faced with hardships but show that they know this is their temporary home on earth because when they pass away their real home is in heaven with God. The view of Christians is that life is a test and that your real life begins in heaven. The characters in the song show their beliefs and do not let their troubles bother them. In this essay, I will analyze "My Temporary Home" to explore the beliefs and thoughts that people use to cope with hardships throughout life.
