sorry im late with this but band camp really threw me off track.
ill try to get 7 and 8 done by aug 3rd but it might be a struggle.
anyways i really liked all the stories zosima had to tell. I thought the story about his brother was very touching. Also the story about the man who murdered the one he loved and was stuck feeling guilty. What a struggle he must have had to overcome to announce to everyone and come clean. I would be so troubled if i had such a large secret and no one would believe me. Poor zosima, everyone thought he made the man crazy. This must have been a big test of faith for him. But he was very loyal to keep things to himself, it could have turned out much worse.
After this chapter i found Elder Zosima to be a very inspirational character.
