Critical Thinking

  1. How is this similar to Martha and her parent's life?
  • Martha’s parents are from a strict religious group, basically another word for ‘Christians’. Martha had to live her whole life in isolation, torture and despair. Unlike Gloriavale, everyone is grateful for their isolated lives. All the Christian members are given names from the bible or somewhat related to god, just like Martha. Martha’s mother makes and sews her clothes for school, forbidding her from wearing clothes from shops and limiting any contact with electronic devices. In Gloriavale, the women make and sew the clothes for the other members, having too limited from electronic devices. Martha wants to escape her depressing life and start anew with a normal lifestyle whilst the Christian community is content and happy.

    I would have enjoyed reading more and getting an insight into what you think about Gloriavale and Martha's life. The formatting didn't help either as I can't read it properly. I will have to wait now to read your essay.
