Question 1

It is a very interesting choice for the author to make the protagonist run from their mistakes but i think its good to show others sides of a story. I think the author made this choice because its good to show what people would really do in that type of situation. I think the author wanted prove a point that good people don't always do the right thing like standing up and facing your consequences. At the same time the author is also showing that you shouldn't give up hope when you think the only answer is to give in. i think the message that is trying to be sent is that the protagonist is the good person but they don't always do the good thing but in some cases its just because they still have hope in what they believe in.

I believe that in most cases its better to face your consequences when you do something wrong. When you decide to the something you should be thinking that their will be consequences and you should think of what they will be before you do something. In peters case it might of been better to hide from them though because he probably wasn't thinking abut what might happen so now he will be in huge trouble so in his case it might be better to have to hide from them. he is also having consequences because he has to run away from his house and his family so in a way he still is paying for what he did.

  1. I enjoyed reading your opinion on this matter, and your examples were relevant to your statement. Despite that all your ideas were solid, I felt that you could have done a better job to make your essay more expressive and beautiful to read. By adding hooks, and more transition words etc. You wrote: I think the author wanted prove a point that good people don't always do the right thing like standing up and facing your consequences. But I would like to question you of why you think not standing up for yourself is considered wrong? And what makes facing your fate right?

  2. Chelsey,
    You do bring up some good points with specific examples in the second paragraph more than the first. We need to add at least one more paragraph (requirement was a min of 3). I think your first paragraph could be broken into two and then supported further with the text. Come to flex if you need help with this.

    Lastly - do remember to proofread as there are several errors (capitals, punctuation,...) that could be fixed with a spell check or grammar check. Try typing your post in word (it has grammar check and the post menu only has a spell check) and then copying to post it

  3. You showed many good examples explaining question one, however there were some sentence errors. Try to space out your examples instead of cramming them into one statement.
    ps- also make sure to capitalize the first word of a new sentence.
