Cedric's conflicting ideas of pride is bothersome because he overly stresses about religion and school and the advice I would give him to overcome this habit. First reason is that Cedric was doing great and taking real pride in screaming the answers out in class, but then his pride is halted when he remembers the reading and speech that Bishop gave in Church. Cedric remembered this and he tensed up and went on a mental tangent about the sin of pride, so he gets mixed up with feelings and falls into depression. Another reason that Cedric is becoming overly stressed about his prides is because when he goes on this mental tangent his self-esteem drops and he wonders more on if he is doing well than actually taking pride is his work. Also I would give him one important piece of advice, which is that he is taking the balance of religion and school, no life in general way to seriously. He struggles, get emtional, and panics when he contiplates if he is being a good member of the chruch.
