Harrison Bergeron: Response

 Today we've done a little comparison between the film and the short story, and wrote about the similarities and differences between the two. Now that it's done - it's time for a quote and response:

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." - English proverb

Read the above sentence and think about how it applies to Harrison Bergeron, and maybe - some real life examples, too!

After this big response, do #2 and #4 in the book! :)

The Scarlet Ibis: Composition

1. What does James Hurst teach about Pride in "The Scarlet Ibis"?
2. What does James Hurst suggest about our nature as children in "The Scarlet Ibis"? (think about if he's saying they're selfish/selfless or that they may not understand complicated adult emotions)
