Helena's performance/presentation on prayer
passion, significance
call upon people to appear of/ on a scene or for their presence during prayer
very interesting to listen to because of the care, compassion, and tenderness that she spoke with. We do not know these people, but through her presentation, we can see that she loves them all and endears the people to us upon listening

The challenge: use orality during In-school experience for those of us who are teaching options. that could be really fun!...

Juddhaism, Islam, and Christianity are based on books- are they too based on memory palaces?

alphabet song has been programmed into us- we have been brainwashed into an order of sorts. If you think about it, everything in life has a certain order. Even when everything is falling apart, don't they say "bad things happen in threes?"
