  1. God in the doorway &Mirages Haleigh & Tim

  2. Purpose of god in the doorway • Relation to Santa Clause and God is a philosophy • Judging actions and receiving good or bad • Images of God and Santa are similar • Miss White’s name is ironic, white represents purity • God, Miss White, and Santa Clause represent the trinity • Purpose is attained • Fear is present, trust is greatly needed • Miss White and the burn • God vs. Santa

  3. Transcendentalist Moment in God in the doorway • Miss White burning her • We run from religion too quickly because we’re scared • Her reflections on childhood situations and how they taught her how to trust God

  4. Emblematic imagery of god in the doorway • Santa at the doorway represents God in her life • Represents the majestic power of God, but yet it’s scary • Sets up Miss White’s burn • It is effective because Santa is more relatable in modern terms because of media

  5. Rhetorical techniques of god in the doorway • Aphorism • “I feared Santa Clause thinking he was God” • Represents and identifies her overall purpose of the essay • Recognizes there is fear in power because of punishment • Effective because its relatable • Euphemism • Miss White and the trinity • She views Santa Claus as God, God as the Holy Spirit, Miss White as Jesus • Religion is difficult, you have to take the good with the bad • Not unique to the essay because it is a common theme throughout the book

  6. Main purpose of god in the doorway • We should fear God • Religion is a give and take

  7. Purpose of mirages • Everything is a mirage • We allow ourselves to be distracted and distort aspects and objects of our life • Purpose is not attained because she doesn’t provide clear examples • The boats are an example of a mirage but its very difficult to interpret

  8. Transcendentalist moment in mirages • The observation of a dead, winter beach and the excitement of population elsewhere. • The natural ‘being’ of a beach in winter vs the warmth and populated beach in summer. • Also relates back to the trinity; abnormal observation of nature.

  9. Rhetorical techniques in mirages • Antithesis • The lens being both a distortion and a focus • Used to describe mirages in nature • A weak example to her overall point • Not placed well, belongs in the essay lenses

  10. Main idea of essay • We allow ourselves to get distracted in life by everything around us so that air is a mirage, yet if we use the lenses we can clarify. • P-Ditty
