caffeine When the context of Rocky’s life remains open to change, actually to the point of desperately seeking it, when the content of coaching and encouragement helps him into new patters on his life, when those within the communion of his life compel him to “Win, Rocky, Win!” and his internal soundtrack kicks in, it is here that the rubber meets the road – - -  literally.   Sneakers pound the pavement and there is evidence of a (re)new(ed) life.

Colonel Nicholson is completely within the context of a proper British soldier allowing him to deny the indignities of being a Japanese prisoner-of-war.  He passed along the content of the values and identity of  proper British soldiering to his troops stating, “One day the war will be over. And I hope that the people that use this bridge in years to come will remember how it was built and who built it. Not a gang of slaves, but soldiers, British soldiers, Clipton, even in captivity.” But, wh en confronted by the greater communion of his allies attempting to explode his creation of the bridge over the river Kwai, he is compelled to change his own course as well. 

handsRemy is a rat (context) who is attracted to the theory (content) of Chef Auguste Gusteau that “anyone can cook:.  Together (in communion), with his friend garbage-boy Alfredo Linguini and chef Colette along with Remy’s “family,” conspire to  create one incredible Ratatouille.

The story does not have a “happy ending” unless the protagonist takes matters into his or her own hands and doing something about it. Faith is not a passive endeavor, it demands an active response.
