How can you describe her? Do you know anyone, or are you, as timid as she is and the shy nature of how she acts? Connect to the Madame de Chalais, who runs the convent and encourages Blanche that God will protect her through anything. Do you take to God's support and loving embrace when you encounter tough times? How do you persevere in the face of failure? Do you have anyone in your life who encourages you in the same way? Who are they, and how do they do so successfully? Explain in a one page response. Thursday 05-23: Finish reading and annotating Chapter 2 & 3; respond to ONE OF THE JOURNAL PROMPTS BELOW: Journal #44: Reflecting on Blanche's happiness, what can you attribute that personality change to? Why is she no longer afraid? Or, if she becomes afraid, what is her response? How does this response become similar or different than your response when you are afraid? Do you or someone you know have a similar reliance on God for support? At least one whole page. OR In Chapter 3 of the text, Sister Marie de l'Incarnation says, "Must fear and horror always be evil? Is it not possible that they may be deeper than courage, something that corresponds far more to the reality of thins, to the terrors of the world, and to our weakness?" Reflecting on Chapter 3 of the text, consider what she means by this. Do you agree with this statement? What relevance does it have to the French Revolution? What do you think about that statement? Give me an example in your own life where evil has triumphed courage, and another where courage triumphed fear. At least one whole page Friday 05-24: N0 School- Happy Memorial Day! |

Since the French government was coming to dissuade them from being the convent, how does Blanche show courage in the face of danger? Explain how she and the sisters represent hope and faith in a dark, morbid time in history. At least one whole page.
