mach beth pre discussion Monico & Ramones

Once you are done with first anticipation discussion, with a partner look at the following questions and answer them together. Your answers need to be in complete sentences and you need to provide what you and your partner discussed. PROVIDE AT LEAST A PARAGRAPH PER ANSWER. Please list who your partner is. Each person needs to be post on their own website/blog to recieve credit. Title the post "Partner Macbeth Pre-Discussion (names)"

1. Is evil ingrained in human nature? That is, are some people just “born evil,” or is evil caused by circumstance or environment? 
2. Are our lives determined by fate, or by the acts of our free will? 
3. Is redemption truly possible? That is, is it possible to commit an act of genuine evil and truly recover from it? 
4. Is it possible to admire or respect a person whom you know has committed acts of genuine evil? 
5. Do “the ends justify the means”? That is, if one uses morally evil methods to acquire a goal, is that goal forever tainted or polluted by the actions one has taken to achieve it? 

1.   Evil comes from what choices you make. Evil is not causes upon birth it is about how we treat other people and how we get treated. The way we make our choices defines how our personality will be. For example if i choose to steal from the store that would consider of me being evil. Or making other people think of me as someone who steals

2. Yes whatever we do in our lives we have the full responsibility of taking control of it. What we do by the acts of our free will can determine what kind of character you are. Helping the homeless, helping the ill, helping the elderly, and respect.

3. Yes there can be a possibility of recovery but it can take a lot of work to get your self back on your feet. You are going to have to go through a lot of good deeds and prayers to help. I believe it can be possible because i've seen a lot of people start from being bad to changing there lives around to become successful and much nicer people

4. I really think you should respect anyone upon there personality but you might still have that feeling that this guy has killed someone or did something bad. I wouldn't admire anyone who has killed someone unless there actions have changed. Someone who is evil should have admiration and respect upon changes in life.

5. The goal is polluted because we shouldn't make evil methods to acquire a goal. Our goals should be off of what we try to be when it comes to our future. Our goals shouldn't be about our evil choices, goals are for what you try to do to become  successful

_________________________________________________________________________________

1. agree because a man is always supported by a woman to help him gain the respect and the knowledge on how to treat people. For example my mom helps me push my self to the best i can be to support me family and life style

2. agree because if we believe that God exist and he talks about demons in the bible i surely believe that they exist. My experience was that when i was in church the priest's homily was on how jesus confronts a demon

3. Disagree. I don't think its necessary to get what you want by doing something wrong. It will lead you into bad things into your life until you finally realize that everything comes from what you earn in your future life. 

4. Disagree because it will only come around if you let it come around. It wont always come around. Like when I never do my homework i never got a bad grade

5. Agree. But I try to stay away with all the bad things like drugs or stealing. It is very easy to tempt a human being because my neighbor would always tempt me to steal things but I just say no.

6. Yes because that ruler is gong to destroy the country so you minus well do something about it.

7. Disagree there shouldn't be any circumstances of murder! 

8. Agree. Success is always worth it because being successful is the whole definition of life.

9. Disagree. God and our believes is our own representatives on earth. Nothing rules us but the kings in heaven not on earth

10. Disagree. Your personality is the definition on how your day will be. You can change your whole day around by what you do. My personal experience is that if your happy from the start and try to carry it on for the whole day then you more than likely might have a good day

11. Disagree traitors should be forgiven. Someone who is a traitor should be punished but at the same time forgiven and should not be with you anymore. Because why trust someone who has said they'd be there for you but leaves to help someone else.

1. Write 2 thesis statements for which you could write well-supported literary analysis essays. Remember when analyzing the literature we are always trying to determine the meaning of the literature. It is not a summary or you repeating what is already known. So in the thesis you need to tell us something that you can prove through evidence from the book. You need to write two thesis statements based off these literary elements:
2. 
   

1. inhumanity will always be filled with hate and anger. In the book "Night" it talks about how its okay to be angry about something u cant fix because when yor in a s
2. Character  The holocaust is full of starvation and hate. Elie Wiesel talks about how he accepted anything that was given to him and put it into good use. He ate grass, stale soup, hard bread, and potato peelings and still survived 

2. Quote collection: Select at least 4 quotes for a and 4 quotes for b that you think help support each thesis. 

1. "We had already been eight days at aushwitz. It was during roll call. We were not expecting anything"

2.  " The camp looked as though it had suffered an epidemic: empty and dead"

3. '' i had to stay at buchenwald until April eleventh. I have nothing of my life during this period. It no longer mattered''

4. ''The summer was coming to an end. The jewish year is over. The last day of that accursed year, the, whole camp was electric with the tension which was in all our hearts"

 1. '' They gave us our evening meal, a thick soup but no one touched it''

2.'' I ate nothing for 6 days but a piece of grass and potato peelings''

3.'' As i swallowed my bowl of soup, i saw in the gesture an act of rebellion''
