Leap of Faith-
Sometimes life just calls for us to throw caution to the wind and jump into the unknown. Holding on to what we know and what we believe. Even if you don't know anything, hold on to what you don't know, it's practically the same thing. At one point in our lives we will have to jump, and even if the unknown is the scariest thing known to man, it defines who we are and who we aren't. The idea of the leap of faith scares most people but emboldens other people to stay true to what they say and to who they are. It is part of seeking the Truth. Those who are willing to jump and embrace the idea that nothing is real and try to find what is real. Truman leaps when he first leaves the dome, and even if he doesn't know anything he hangs on to what he wants to know and what he knows is fake. Even if everything he knows is wrong, he just hangs on to what he believes and that is all that really matters. We will never know what happened to Truman because we will have to experience it ourselves to really understand what it is like.
I actually kind of like this piece because of the way it is short, sweet and two the point. I almost never would have thought about comparing the Truman Show to the "Leap of Faith" that is a really could way to put things together though. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI liked this piece. I think it was nice and short but got to the point as Maggie said. The beginning seemed a little repetitive but it didn't mess up the understanding of the whole piece. I like your ending too and how you compare this idea of a leap of faith and Truman to our own lives and reality. Nice job.
