My drawing has four sons. The first has ideas wondering all over in his mind and has a stack of books next to him, this is the wise child. The second is in all dark clothes and has shocks coming off of him, this is the wicked child. The third is a small kid and has stripped clothes and plaid pants and Rosey cheeks, this is the simple child. The last has a sadder face and is always confused, this is the silent or the child who didn’t know how to ask.

High Holiday Reflection
3. What did I find interesting and enjoy doing my project? I found interesting that supposedly if you ask for forgiveness 3 times and the person doesn’t forgive you your sin or sins go onto them.

4. How did doing my project enhance or influence my high holiday experience? When I went to services I listened to the stories about forgiveness and I knew I related to them
