Sacrifice


This week in class we discussed the presence of sacrifice in Crime and Punishment. We talked about how Sonya, Dounia and Katarina all sacrificed something in order to provide for their family. For instance, Sonya sacrificed her body and dignity for her family. While we were talking about this, I began to realize all the things we will have to sacrifice when we go away next year. We will have to sacrifice the friends we have already made and we will have to sacrifice our own room and homes. However, this sacrifice does not seem so bad especially when all you are thinking about is solely getting into college. Although most of us expect to get rejected from at least one place, it is still a little shocking when you realize you really did get rejected. Personally, I was rejected from a school this week, but I also got into a school, so it all balances out.
