Genevieve completed a nearly year long senior project by defending her thesis in front of a panel of three teachers. She wrote her thesis stating that women complement men in such a way that redeems society using Saint Pope John Paul the Great's proposed four feminine characteristics. These are generosity, receptivity, sensitivity, and maternity. The texts she used were The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, The Odyssey by Homer, and Antigone by Sophocles. She wrote a 20 page paper with multiple character analyses to defend her thesis.
Genevieve's Abstract:
The genius of women is just as necessary as the genius of men but in a different and complementary way. When not constrained by prejudice, women are able to use their unique abilities and virtues to provide a balance to society. The women of ancient times particularly struggled with overcoming said prejudices in order to aid humanity by following God’s (or the gods’) plan for them. Penelope, Antigone, and Lucy Pevensie are three examples of women who overcame perversities in order to fulfill their roles in serving humanity.
She did an outstanding job surrounded by an audience of family and friends. We are so proud of her! This senior year is going by all too quickly though. This was her last big thing that had been hanging over her head. The rest is mostly just fun stuff like the senior retreat, prom, and the senior banquet before graduation.
