- 1. Reflecting on Of Mice and Men
a. Explain George's perspective for what he did to Lennie.
George thought that killing Lennie was the best solution for both of them. It was good for Lennie because he wont suffer anymore. And its good for George because he doesn't have to get into trouble for what Lennie has done.
b. Do you think that was the best thing to do for Lennie?
I think it was the best thing for Lennie because he would of had suffer a lot more. Since he would get into trouble with a lot men there are many people the want to get him for what he has done to them. I also I think that because the books description of Lennie made it seem that he could go throw life independently.
2. Father in Italy Accused of Murder
a. Using a "quote" to support your response, explain the father's reasons for what he did.
"Late last year, 67-year-old Beppino Englaro, won an intense 10-year legal battle to allow his daughter's feeding tubes to be removed, saying that was her wish." He said that it was what she wanted. Maybe she had of said that she wouldn't want live that way and would rather die.
b. Using a "quote" to support your response, explain if that was the best thing to do for the daughter.
I think it was the best for her because if she want it the way why not? Also trying to fight for 17 years not able to move, walk, talk, see around it can get frustrating. "Eluana Englaro, who had been in a vegetative state for 17 years, died Feb. 9 in a clinic in the city of Udine after doctors removed her feeding tubes. She was 38."
I think I would of had done the same thing. Also keeping her life for 17 year can be frustrating. And think about all the money been waste and no improvement.
3. Man Kills Family after Losing his Job
a. Imagine and list things that might have been going through the father's mind as he contemplated his "mercy" killing. (In the article, the father's suicide note gives specific evidence of why he did what he did. Elaborate on it.) Specifically, what could he have been negative or paranoid about?
_ He lied in this resume and got fired.
_He wont be able to find a job easily because it was in the his recodes.
_He didn't want to leave this family in someone else's hand so he took his family with him.
b. Unfortunately, with America's failing economy, many professionals are losing their jobs. While many do not resort to something as extreme as the man in the article, it does cause stress within families. What are some ways that parents can support children (to succeed in life) that do NOT require money?
When wanting to have fun you don't really need to go to expensive for example the park. Also there is stamps for food so you'll be able to feed you kid. Also be there in everything you'll kid is going throw. These are some ideas on how you dont need money to be happy.
