Summer Reading Project Luke Bernard War Dances Text Analysis ?What are you going to do?? I didn?t do anything? Why do poets think they can change the world? The only life I can save is my own.? Page 2 Connection: I always hear people say, why should I pick up trash thats not mine? It immediately came to mind after reading the last line of ?The Limited,? where the author gives up on his hopes and acts selfish, but without the help of others we will all fail, I think he should have done something about the man who tried to hit the dog instead saying he can only save himself.

William Golding
Original sin
Human nature

PBA: Chris Lamoureux The author of Lord Of The Flies, William Golding, has an interesting, and rather valid take on the nature of man. He believes all men are inherently evil. He states that we are all born evil because we refuse to accept moral lessons without entertainment behind it (fables). Another one of Golding?s main points is the ?sinful nature? of man, due to the fact that, biblically speaking, man is gripped by Original Sin. A fallen being, he is sinful in nature. Therefore, Golding concludes, man is inherently evil.

Europeans Enter Africa People of Europe were able to reach sub-Saharan Africa around 1450 when the Portuguese invented the caravel, a ship that should sail into the wind. This ship allowed sailors to sail back up the western coast of Africa and back to Europe. The Portuguese set up trading posts along the African beaches trading with slaves and gold, trading habits that were originally done by the Arabs and Africans. The Portuguese shipped the slaves back to Spain and Portugal where they worked on the sugar plantations.

terrorism is bad

I negate. The United States ought to exten d to non-citizens accused of terrorism the same constitutional due process protections it grants to citizens. Justice is defined by Merriam-Webster as being in conformity with what is morally upright or good. I will refer to this type of justice as big-J justice, or justice that assumes universality and absolute good. OR Justice is defined from the same source as conforming with what is deemed fair or good. I will refer to this as little-J justice, or justice that is derived from the ethics of the actor undertaking the action. The resolution is not asking about big-J justice. Rather, the resolution only questions whether the action satisfies the little-J conception of justice held by the American government, for two reasons.
