Chapter 2 question (up to 2 pages): Re-read Arthur C. Clarke's story, "The Star," in which the Jesuit priest is confronted by a terrible irony. Examine the events of this story by applying the
theories of Design (in section 2.2), Theodicy (section 2.3) and Faith (in section 2.5). Cite the
Chapter 2 sections as you apply their theories to the story. Cite examples from the story like this:
(Clarke 37) etc. A few terms explained for this story:
1. A supernova is a natural event in which a star uses up its hydrogen fuel, collapses, and
explodes. The release of energy is titanic and vaporizes all but the farthest planets in that
solar system, and would sterilize with radiation any life in other star systems within a radius
of about 50 light-years.
2. The mission: the crew of the story travel aboard a faster-than-light space-vehicle, so
they are exploring other solar systems far from our solar system.
3. The Jesuits: "Jesuit, member of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of
religious men founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola, noted for its educational, missionary,
and charitable works. The order has been regarded by many as the principal agent of
the Counter-Reformation and was later a leading force in modernizing the church. ...Almost
from the beginning, education and scholarship became the society's principal work. The
early Jesuits, however, also produced preachers and catechists who devoted themselves to
the care of the young, the sick, prisoners, prostitutes, and soldiers, (and in the 1700s earned
the hostility of Spain and Portugal by defending the Native Americans from the abuses of
Spanish and Portuguese colonists). ...They were involved in a broad and complex list of
activities, including the field of communications, social work, ecumenism, human rights, and
even politics." (Britannica. com)

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
