"The Last Judgment" By Karel Capek (Czechoslovakia)

This literature says about the place where it came from that if you do sins in your human life, then when you die the sins catch up to you and you will be punished for it. So the point of this story is trying to tell everybody that don't do sins in your life or when you are having your Last Judgment you will be sent to Hell. Unless you can argue with god or something. This story is about a man named Kugler who killed 9 people during his lifetime. And when he died, he had his last judment and for his terrible sins he was sent to Hell.

I think the consequences for living a bad life is that you hurt yourself and everybody around you. And what is the point of living a bad life, it is not likely that you get anything good out of it. People will just hate or try to kill you.I think my opinions on the "final judgement" is that it should be fair and I should be able to say what I need to say to defend myself. I do believe in Karma because i think that if you do something bad to somebody than it will come back to you.I think humans shouldn't be mean and inhumane to other humans because it will lead to many deaths and the damage of our environment and our future.

"First Confession" by Frank O' Connor

 This literature says a lot about this country because in the story they are very religious and are afraid to do anything bad because they think that when they die they will be punished. Basically saying that they are going to Hell. The literature also says that there are some people who make others scared with their stories so the people won't do anything bad. In the story the main character (Jackie) is afraid of confessing to the Priest that he wants to kill his grandmother because she likes his (evil) sister and not him. When he finally does confess to the Priest he is relieved and makes a new friend, the Priest.

I am a half Chrisitian so I sometimes go to the church with my mom. The church I go to is the St.Josphat church. The activities that go on the church I go to is that there are alot of standing up and singing songs about Jesus. The church's beliefs are a  lot like any other church's beliefs. It is just saying how Jesus is the savior and talking a lot about the forgiveness for the sins we did.
