Today, our warm up dealt with the following questions: does cruelty beget (cause) more cruelty? In other words, does immoral behavior breed more immoral behavior? Does it come back to us? Also, does war make cruelty "okay" or acceptable in most cases? Why or why not? After responding to these questions in writing, some of you shared your responses and we discussed them as a group. Keep these questions in mind as you read, as we will be returning to them later. Next, we discussed some questions for the reading assignments from the weekend, as well as an article from today's paper, which are available for download below. We will continue with these on Tuesday in a group activity, but these discussion questions are helpful to keep in mind as you read, and might appear in the future on a quiz...No reading assignment tonight - just make sure you are caught up and have read the first three stories in the book ("The Things They Carried," "Love," and "Spin"). Article from the Boulder Daily Camera about missing Marine Lance Hering (we discussed this when talking about the passage on pages 19 and 21)
