Ender's Game and Competitiveness

Humans are competitive by nature and therefore are constantly striving to win.  We also strive to succeed by our own definition of success.

1. What is your opinion about the prompt, and why do you feel this way?

2. What evidence can you use from the story to support your thinking?  remember, even when paraphrasing, but be sure to cite where you are paraphrasing from! 

3. Given that this is a theme from Ender’s Game, what do you think Orson Scott Card is trying to say to us?

 

Your response should follow PEAL and be 1-2 paragraphs in length.

 If you do not use citations, you will not be given credit.

You also need to respond to one other person's post, either agreeing or disagreeing with the position they take on this subject, using textual evidence to support your response. Your evidence must be different than the evidence provided by the writer.

Due by midnight Tuesday.

The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber

To what extent is it moral to take matters into your own hands?

1. Please post a well thought out response to this question including at least one citation from Francis Macomber to back up your claim. To "wow" your peers and I (aka, get an A), I encourage you to look at online news sources for instances of vigilantism to cite and include in your response.
Be sure to put the link(s) for your online news source on a separate line at the end of your paragraph.

2. Please respectfully comment on at least two other students posts as to whether or not you agree/disagree with an explanation as to why, again citing textual evidence.

***Don't forget to use your Last, then First name when posting. :)

This assignment is due Monday (9-30) at midnight.
