Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless.😊😊😊

Worst example I’ve experienced is not in an English class but in a Theater class. We were working on lines and we had to write a short summary on what we thought the character’s motives and attitudes were during the scene based on only the lines given and some context clues given by stage direction. I had wrote down that my character was very formal due to calling the other character Mrs. and also using more formal ways of speaking (hello vs hi or hey etc.) I gave it to my teacher and then she proceeded to share it with the class because she said I had gotten it wrong because I didn’t understand that the reason the character said Hello and called the other character Mrs. was because they shared a troubling past and he didn’t forgive her for what happened. Like dawg how am I supposed to get all that from Hello Mrs. Rose. Good Morning John, how’s everything ? Good and you? I swear people just be making crap up

I had this happen to something I wrote: Back in high school, we had to write poems about ourselves with the idea of "write about your life right now". The whole point was the write an interesting poem about your point of view and your accomplishments and yada yada yada. My life at the time was really boring and nothing of interest or importance had happened to me. I didn't play a sport, wasn't in any clubs, nothing. So, being crabby and petty, I wrote just that. My poem was 24 lines of flowery language telling the reader to leave and read someone else's poem. A couple of my fav lines I remember was literally just "I am a background character in someone else's story" and "You can't pull a piece of poetry from a math textbook" (i was in many STEM classes at the time). Teacher loved it so much she shared it with the other classes and commented on how "perfect" it was and how it captured the energy of the original poem we'd read (that our assignment was based off of). TLDR: I wrote 24 lines for a poetry assignment telling my english teacher to bug off and read someone else's poem, and she though it was the best one in the class.

As an English teacher this is something that comes up fairly often. I think going for "the one true interpretation" is a mistake though. Granted, there is such a thing as the author's intent but art is subjective and should be allowed to be made far more enriching than that. I enjoy letting students approach these things from their own perspectives. What makes it so much fun and fascinating to read and analyze various works of art is how we subconsciously bring a little bit of ourselves into our interpretations. In some ways, art becomes less about the artist and more about all of us. I've had students share interpretations I'd never once considered and been absolutely blown away. I especially love helping less substantial interpretations along the way by continuing their train of thought into deeper territories. It's really fun when you get a class that's willing to roll with it. Silent groups less so because I feel like I'm just telling them what they should be thinking. Language is about people and culture, this ain't math class.

I am glad this comment exists. I don't like the whole "The curtains are blue because they are just blue". It's easy to follow the joke and say "lol teacher dumb" but I believe people miss the point. Is not about the intention of the author, is about what can we learn by understanding it.

English teachers (and the students) should be aware that texts only have significant meaning when it is intentional based on clues like repetition, integration with the theme, coherence, etc. If it's just a random description written by an unknown author in an insignificant position within the text, it most likely wouldn't contain any deep stuff.

you actually can infer that since Johnny is an informal name, and since the use of this nickname is natural to the narrator, the story likely takes place in a small town, village, or other type of close-knit community where people generally know each other well enough for calling each other by nicknames like this to feel natural

In the concise statement, "Johnny went to the store," lies a narrative thread that extends far beyond its surface simplicity. This seemingly straightforward action encapsulates a journey laden with significance, touching upon themes of autonomy, necessity, and societal roles. By dissecting the layers of this single sentence, one can uncover a wealth of interpretations and implications. Primarily, Johnny's decision to go to the store signifies an exercise of agency and independence. In choosing to embark on this journey, Johnny asserts his ability to navigate his surroundings and make decisions autonomously. This act underscores the essence of individual autonomy, highlighting Johnny's capacity to take initiative and pursue his objectives. Furthermore, Johnny's trip to the store hints at the fulfillment of practical needs or desires. Stores are often associated with the procurement of goods and services, suggesting that Johnny may be seeking to acquire necessities or indulge in personal preferences. This interpretation prompts reflection on the role of consumption in everyday life and the ways in which individuals navigate the marketplace to satisfy their requirements. Additionally, Johnny's excursion to the store offers insights into societal norms and expectations. His action may be influenced by cultural conventions or societal pressures, reflecting broader patterns of behavior within the community. Johnny's role as a consumer within the store environment may also shed light on economic dynamics, revealing disparities in access to resources or opportunities. Moreover, Johnny's journey to the store prompts consideration of spatial experiences and their impact on human interactions. The store serves as a physical space that shapes Johnny's movements and interactions, influencing his perception of the environment and his engagement with others. His navigation of the store landscape may reflect his negotiation of social boundaries and his adaptation to the spatial constraints of the built environment. In conclusion, the seemingly simple act of "Johnny went to the store" unfolds into a multifaceted exploration of autonomy, necessity, societal roles, and spatial experiences. This single sentence serves as a window into the complexities of human behavior and the interconnectedness of individual actions with broader social contexts. By delving into the layers of this statement, one can uncover a rich tapestry of meanings and implications that resonate far beyond the confines of the sentence itself.
