Catholic Ways

Throughout the test Punishment was written in an odd way. The speakers point of view is wishy washy and tends to go back and forth. One minute the speaker is praising the girl, and the next minute he is putting her down in some way shape or form. The way the girl is talked about in the text could be offensive to some people, due to that I would say that this text is meant for mature readers only.

This text also discusses how young catholic girls would being with British Soldiers. Catholics have more strict rules to follow compared to other types of Christianity. They are not supposed to use contraceptives, and not have sex until after marriage. The text takes a turn when one of the Catholic girls commits adultery, and is later on drowned to her death. I always feel like there are high expectations held for Catholics all around no matter the gender. But when a Catholic person does something wrong they are held to a different standard just because they are Catholic. I am not Catholic so I do not always understand their beliefs, but some of my friends are and they seem to be bullied, and made fun of for being Catholic. When they do something like drink alcohol people are always so quick to bring up that they are Catholic and should not be doing that.


 This is a funny link that kids that went to Catholic schools can relate to. Even if you did not go to a Catholic school you still might relate!
