Thought 250
Mrs. Thompson and
Literature
Mrs. Thompson was one of my High School DVD
teachers. I remember watching the literature lectures that she gave and the
continual reminder she gave us to learn from what we read. As we read The Scarlet Letter, I learned about the
danger of hidden sin and how it eats a person up. As we read Silas Marner I again learned of the danger
of secret sin and the selfish pride of Mr. Godfrey. And all through the various
poems, short stories, and prose selections that were also required reading; I
remember Mrs. Thompson giving us Scripture references to jot down in the margin
while she faithfully showed us the good and bad in a poem—the false
philosophies and the true.
Mrs. Thompson was not a perfect teacher, no
human save Jesus was, but she did give it her all. She continued to be faithful
and instruct the High Schoolers under her care to pay attention to the Word of
God and to really analyze literature through a Biblical lens. I am very
thankful for what she taught me.
