Last week when we did the reading for Elvis Pilgrimage, I was a little unsure about it. \u00a0I know who Elvis is, but I was a little unsure about how this was a pilgrimage and how some people believed it to be a religion. \u00a0I found the reading we had to do very interesting and contained informational things. \u00a0I learned a lot about the Pilgrimage I would have known nothing about. \u00a0I found it interesting how this Pilgrimage doesn’t relate to other types we have studied about. \u00a0It has the things it needs to be considered a pilgrimage but I’m still not quite sold on the idea that the it’s a religion.<\/p>\n
