The Dew Breaker Trauma

The Reb and Pastor Henry both were strongly committed to their religious doctrines and spent a great deal of their lives contributing to the well beings of others. Their stories began fairly similar, young men that strived for greatness, but came in contact with abounding obstacles in life . Pastor Henry grew up in an unstable home environment. The importance of school and God wasn’t reinforced constantly, but the use of drugs instantaneously became a way of life. During his adolescence, he developed a strong love for God and took him as his savior at the age of twelve, but then took a path in his teenage years that led him to drugs and violence.

As the story progresses we come to understand the reason behind all of this. Unfortunately her home life is not the best as she lost her brother and her mother a victim of attempting

The minister should have confessed his sin since he would bear less shame. Unfortunately, most of the minister’s shame came from the fact that he was hiding his sin.

The people loved the minister; they would not hold a grudge against him. The sooner the minister confessed, the sooner he would start to heal.

Since she has been in a church fight before and promised God that she would never be in another, she does not want the congregation to continue with the investigation against Brother Procrastinator. She warns them that they would get into trouble and that “no church fight can be built on a lie”(5). She doesn’t want the church to be torn apart in the effort to dismiss the minister, but instead she suggests that the congregation pray for God to touch his heart if he is indeed doing wrong. “For after all, we are serving God, not man. Men may come and men may go, but God stays forever”(5-6).

On the other hand, in St. John’s case, he’s not content with his local ministry and desired to be a politician, poet, or anything that offered him fame, power, and glory. He could not have those specific powerful positions, so as a result he composed a different solution: become a missionary. The weakness in this faithful sentiment was his lack of compassion for those he was helping. He did not exhibit a passion for his work, but just worked for that good-hearted status symbol.

Mr.Hooper is a minister who faces a lot of challenges that make him sacrifice a lot of things that he truly admired. In the “Minister 's black veil” Hawthorne’s character Mr. Hooper sacrifices his love ,”normal” life, and sympathy to teach the lesson that everyone has a secret sin because teaching about sin is more important than living his “normal” life. Everyone wants love but not everyone can keep it or willing to keep it. ‘There was a nurse, no hired handmaiden of death... but the veil prevents him from seeing or enjoying it” Mr. Hooper is on his deathbed unaware that his love of his life is right next to

At times when sinners are dying, they still cry for Hooper, refusing to yield in death until he comes to them. When the Reverend Clark asks Father Hooper if he is ready to lift the veil that separates time from eternity, he agrees, with faint words. As the years pass, Hooper’s long life, blameless and above reproach, earns for him a new title—Father Hooper. He outlives many of his parishioners, many of whom are now buried in the graveyard. Father Hooper is dying.

She lost her father when she was only days old, her one true love when they were only married for a little while l, and then she lost her mother right after she lost her first love.

Him shifting his sense of self was all out of his wife’s pleasure. Although he loved her very much, it was her pursuit for power and overall push that has landed him in this terrible

In this chapter, the author begins by comparing the dilemma the modern church faces today with a story he read on the front page of a newspaper where the members lost their restraint and literally resorted to physical violence. Along with that story, he also compared the dilemma of the modern church with the story about the emperor’s new clothes where the people were afraid to say what they actually saw. He explained that relationships of that sort send out a negative message to even the unchurched people and is a clear sign for the need to rethink the church community. A Look in the Mirror

Trauma is a part of everyone’s life. Some people are affected outwardly, others are not.
