Small Wonder

I really enjoyed this story.  The way it is written, is like the author is talking to me, in a conversation.  The word choice isn't difficult and she referes  to herself sometimes, making it intimate.  Barbara is very wise.  I can connect with her and her beliefs, it's so refreshing.  She says " God is in the details "  I agree that the little miracles of life are not just luck, something is watching out for us and provided us with an opportunity.  I think it's cool she finds stories and keeps the ones that she finds some truth in.   She sees the "big picture"  Kingsolver says "  A mirror held up to every moral superiority will show its precise mirror image:"  She knows that even the most ruthless people are loved by their mother, as she loves her son.  She goes on " We are all beasts in this kingdom, we have killed and been killed, and some new time has come to us in which we are called out to find another way to divide the world.  Good and evil cannot be all there is."  I wonder what is in the middle of the two.  There is so much goodness in this essay!  I hope I get more out of it in class tonight.
