"AS IT WAS THE BEGINNING"

            "AS IT WAS THE BEGINNING" 

       In the story “As It Was the Beginning” we can clearly witnessed that Father Paul discriminated Esther. Esther and Laurence really love each other but he brain washed his nephew and convinced Laurence to stay away from ester just because she is a daughter of pagan mother. For me, Father Paul’s reasons were unreasonable. No one can change a person, but someone can be a person’s reason to change.

       I totally disagree how Father Paul convinced Laurence to leave Esther because he is a racist. Just because Esther is a red skin Indian woman, used to live in a cone shape tepee and came from the poor family of pagan, he thinks that it would be a shame for his nephew to marry a woman like Esther. It is not an option to judge a person by his appearance or where she comes from. We should be sensitive and considerate in other’s feeling.

       I believe that Esther would be able to change her personality, and forget all the things where she came from if Father Paul let her to continue her relationship with Laurence. She can’t accept that the man she loves will marry other woman. Therefore, she did kill Laurence cause of her selfishness. If Father Paul gave Esther a chance to prove that she can change, she might not have determination to poisoned Laurence.

      Esther is just a normal woman too. She deserves to be given a chance to prove what she can do. She came from a poor pagan family but it does not mean that she can’t change her beliefs in life .It is important to be concerned in other’s feelings. We should stop discriminating people especially when they are from a poor family.
