Name Calling

Read Deuteronomy 25-27

Deuteronomy 25:10 "And his name shall be called in Israel, The house of him that hath his shoe loosed."

That doesn’t sound so horrible. It wouldn’t hurt our feelings to be called that.

When we want to put our characters in a position where they are called names, we have to keep that in mind. Something might not look like a terrible problem on the surface.

So we have to not only put the name calling in context, we have to show how hurt our character is. It has to be painful, not only for the character, but for the reader as well.
