MERCY KILLING
1A.GEORGE KILLED LENNIE BECAUSE HE KNEW IT WAS BETTER IF LENNIE DIED. LENNIE DOES THINGS THAT CAN KILL PEOPLE EVEN WHEN HE DOESN'T WANT TO. LENNIE WAS MENTALLY DISABLED AND SOMEONE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF HIM AND GEORGE COULDN'T ANYMORE.LENNIE DOES REALLY BAD THINGS AND HE DOESN'T NOTICE...
1B.IT WAS THE BEST THING TO DO TO LENNIE BECAUSE IF LENNIE DIDN'T DIE HE WOULD STILL DO BAD THINGS.LENNIE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING AND GEORGE HAS TO DEFEND HIM OR RUN AWAY WITH HIM.LENNIE CAN HARM PEOPLE JUST LIKE HE DID TO CURLEY AND CURLEY'S WIFE.
2A.THE FATHER EUTHANIZED HIS DAUGHTER.HE DID THIS BECAUSE THE DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN A COMMA FOR 17 YEARS.HIS DAUGHTER WAS BASICALLY DEAD.THE ONLY THING THAT WAS KEEPING HER ALIVE WAS THE FEEDING TUBE.THE FATHER KNEW THAT SHE WAS NOT GOING TO WAKE UP, SO HE DECIDED TO REMOVE THE FEEDING TUBE.
2B.I AGREE WITH THE FATHER'S ACTIONS BECAUSE HIS DAUGHTER WAS NOT GOING TO WAKE UP.SHE HAS BEEN IN A COMMA FOR 17 YEARS AND THERE WAS NO OTHER SOLUTION.THE POLICE SHOULDN'T ARREST HIM BECAUSE ELUANA WAS BASICALLY ALREADY DEAD.HE DIDN'T KILL HER,HE JUST COULDN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE BECAUSE SHE WAS IN A COMMA FOR 17 YEARS ALREADY.
3A.MR.LUPOE WAS PARANOID THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE MONEY AND HE LOST HIS JOB.HIS WIFE ALSO LOST HER JOB.HE WAS WORRIED THAT THEY COULDN'T PAY THE RENT AND BUY FOOD FOR HIS FAMILY.HE WAS ALSO WORRIED THAT HE COULDN'T TAKE CARE OF HIS KIDS AND HE DIDNT WANT HIS KIDS TO BE WITH ANOTHER FAMILY.
3B.FAMILIES THAT ARE IN THIS SITUATION CAN ASK FOR HELP TO THE GOVERNMENT.THE GOVERNMENT CAN PROVIDE THEM WITH FOOD AND EDUCATION FOR THEIR KIDS.ALSO THE PARENTS CAN ENCOURAGE THEIR KIDS TO DO GOOD IN SCHOOL SO THEY CAN GRADUATE AND GET GOOD JOBS AND CUCCESS IN LIFE..
4.MY VIEWS ON EUTHANASIA IS THAT ITS OK FOR PEOPLE TO DO IT.IF ITS GOOD FOR OTHERS THAN THEY SHOULD LET THEM REST IN PEACE.IF A PERSON IS IN A COMMA AND HAVE NO CHANCE TO WAKE UP THEN THEY SHOULD JUST DIE.SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT EUTHANASIA IS MURDER BUT I DONT THINK THAT.ITS GOOD FOR SOME PEOPLE TO DIE,SO THEY WONT HARM ANYONE OR EVEN KILL SOMEONE.

OF MICE AND MEN
1. Was it OK for George to encourage Lennie to fight Curley? Could there have been another solution? If so, be clear about what that solution might have been.
IT WAS OK TO ENCOURAGE LENNIE TO FIGHT SO HE CAN LEARN TO STAND UP FOR HIMSELF.
ALSO SO HE CAN'T BE AFRAID OF CURLEY.I THINK THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER SOLUTION BECAUSE STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF WAS A GOOD IDEA.
2. It's true that Lennie doesn't TRY to get into trouble, but he always does anyway. Considering this, do you think Lennie should be working at all? Should he be in a special institution away from society?
I THINK THAT LENNIE SHOULD'NT BE WORKING BECAUSE HE HAS SOME MENTAL PROBLEM.HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AWAY FROM SOCIETY BUT SOMEONE JUST HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF HIM.
ALSO LENNIE HAS TO BE TREATHED THE SAME AS NORMAL PEOPLE.
3. Curley is a boss like his dad, which is probably why he has to be mean to his workers. Without being aggressive and showing his power, do you think would he still get respect from his workers?
IF CURLEY WASN'T AGGRESSIVE HE WOULD GET LESS RESPECT. HE GETS MORE RESPECT NOW BECAUSE HE HAS POWER AND CAN FIRE A WORKER.
4. In your opinion, do you think it's OK that Curley's Wife flirts with slim?
I THINK THAT CURLEYS WIFE SHOULDN'T BE FLIRTING WITH SLIM BECAUSE SHE HAS A HUSBAN.
SLIM WOULDN'T LIKE CURLEYS WIFE FLIRTING WITH HIM BECAUSE HE CAN GET IN TROUBLE WITH CURLEY.HE CAN FIRE SLIM..
IT WAS OK TO ENCOURAGE LENNIE TO FIGHT SO HE CAN LEARN TO STAND UP FOR HIMSELF.
