Read your section with new, original insights and focus on one personally-relevant theme (your thesis) that emerges within your section. Support with two direct quotations from the text and original analysis. Be sure your essay specifically addresses (1) how the text of your chapter(s) supports this theme; (2) why this theme is important to you personally; and (3) what applications you take for your own life.

I relate to this story because I used to read it when my husband had an ongoing affair. I believed God would restore my marriage. He did not. My ex got another woman pregant. There were many times is was in utter despair, pain, and wonder why God would not answer my prayers. At the end of the marriage, I divorced him realizing that God’s idea of restoration is not always ours. I am restored now in my heart and healed. This will apply to the paper through my experience of suffering and restoration.
