In the Lutheran hymn "Savior of the Nations, Come", by Martin Luther, is about how wonderful and glorious Christ's coming was, and how great His second coming will be. In the hymn he uses diction to help better explain what he is talking about and put more accurate images in the readers head. In the phrase, "Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the Virgin undefiled!", he uses the word "undefiled" which makes the reader know how pure Mary was at Christ's birth. He was born of a virgin's birth, which shows how miraculous Jesus actually was. Luther also uses the phrase, "Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see?" and with the a word like "boundless," that explains how great and endless Heaven, God's kingdom will be. Luther uses great diction to explain how how grand Christ's first coming to the earth for His people and absolutely wonderful Christ's second coming will be. He praises Christ for everything he has done for everyone and how gracious we should be towards God and Christ. Luther does a good job of explaining all that Christ has done for everyone and what he continues to do for them every day.

Dear Kendra,
ReplyDeleteHere we sit, we being first hour, wondering where you are. Moments ago, Mitchell was swelling with pride over his first blog post of the year. I cried in exultation. We then clicked to your blog and I asked young Mitchell who had the better graphic. With the bold tones of hubris in his voice he declared, "Mine." I was willing to accept this truth. Nick, however, was quick to note the twinkling stars in your graphic. Kudos! You win. Oh, wait. You're not here so you lose.
Mitchell takes home the trophy.
Score a goal for first hour AP Language and make us all weep with pride.
Go Fillies.
