My Thinking Map

Anticipation Guide, To Kill a Mockingbird

1) All individuals standing trial in a court of law deserve to be defended.

I agree because every human should be defended, “human rights”. It is a problem thought when they have evidences and they can prove that the man who is being trial is guilty but even though everyone knows that, the eternizes job is to defend him. Unless it is a homicide and there is witness who’s been at the place where the crime has been done. Then they should just kill the guy or put him in jail, it depends on the level the crime is considered.

4) African Americans in the US are a fully integrated sector of the population.

I Dissagree, obviously African Americans are not at the same level of society as the White people, and I do not mean that that’s the way things are. That’s the way everyone sees it, my opinion is that they should considered as we are but many people are racists and they just hate to see them as high as white people in society.

Agree/Dissagree Statements

Money equates happiness - Dissagree

I dissagree with this tatement because many people who are rich are depressed or just dont have a healthy life.

But also in the age of 16 all you need is money so you can do what ever crazy thing you can think off.

But also I really prefer to have a healthy family instead of money.

Like the Lead Singer of Nirvana, he had fame, money but he was depressed because of a girl... at the end he killed him self.

Good looks and personality will outweight social class and backround - Agree/Dissagree

I somehow agree but that doesnt always work, many people who hate other countries or relegions might get very affected and just hate people because of where they come from, but most of the time its because of the value of the other person and what you feel about them.

Also in now days, it doesnt really matter what your parents say about the one you will marry, I mean, it might affect your choices but certainly you wont do what ever they want. Its how and what you feel that will make the difference.

"Work of art" Gist Statement

"SASHKIN" he shouted with a worry on his face, he run up to him but it was too late. The car who hit Sasha had run away and the boy was ling down in the middle of the road with out a heart beat or a single breath coming out of his cold body.

The pool of blood that started to form was slowly starting to freeze, it was in the middle of Christmas vacations in Moscow and so the weather was very aggressive.

Luckily Uhov was around, his best friend. They were like twin brothers, not physicaly though, they met at school at the age of 6 and until now they were raised together like brothers.

Because of the immense trafic Uhov took him carefuly but fast to his father which happened to be one of the best doctors in Russia.

Family and friends came to support him and they were all so gratefull that Uhov happen to be there at the right time, but also embarrassed that they could not repay the doctors debts.

Of Mice and Men

Feeling responsible for someone can be a burden.

I agree, one big burden is teenage pregnancy, if you do the mistake and stay pregnant there is no way your life will be the same anymore unless if you decide to give away the baby which is harsh and cruel at my opinion. You cannot study in a University, you cant go out with your friends and you just cant leave the baby out of your sight. Its obvious that a baby is a big responsibility and that it will keep you away from your friends. It also wont let you have the freedom as a teenager, as a teenager you will want to go out, to places to have fun, a baby in that age will seal that opportunity.

It is more acceptable for women to love their female friends than it is for men to love their male friends.

Dissagree, men can love their friends. If your whilling to sucrifice something for you friend that is love. Love for your friends is a different thing than girls when they love their girl friends. They call their friends girlfriends, they also sleep together, if two guys do that everyone would think they are homosexual, even if two guys touch people might think that. But it also depends on the region you are from, and what your beliefs are.

There are times when euthanasia (mercy killing) can be justified.

I agree that it can be justified, in WW1 and WW2 they used to do this to their soldiers if they had certain death but they were suffering, they also used that on horses. And also they use this on really sick people and old people in the hospitals, i believe its better than having them suffer, now days its their call if they want to die in the hospital, and its called to turn the plug off. It is more merciful than having a human suffering to death which i believe no one would want for their selfs. I even see some old people that they are suffering and I say inside me that it is better for them if they die instead of suffering and strugling for it to live.

Agree/Dissagree

1) Weather and our surroundings can change our mood.
- I agree because when its raining I get sad, and if your surrounded by people with bad mood you will get sad. When its sunny outside though most of the time everyone is happy. If you live in a world with out colorful things you get sad and you hate the whole world. People might be like this because everyone has something that makes them happy, it might be the weather or a person and if they dont get to see that a lot they feel sad.

2) Difficult to stay 24 hours with out food.
- It depends if you are used to it. If you eat a lot your stomach is big but if you stop eating it will get smaller. You can also feel week and sick if you are used to food and you suddenly stop. Its all about the daily routine you follow.

3)Going through a difficult time makes a person more mature or more confidence.
- Agree because if you dont have much fun and you dont think positive while you are in a difficult time. You also get more confident because if you pass that difficult time and you find your self in another one you will say that "I did this before. Ill find a way" and it gives you more experience and more confidence, it also makes you tougher.

4) The love of money is the root of evil.
- I agree because money cant bring you happiness, it can destroy you. Money starts war, and you can loose your money from debts. It can make people jealous of you and they will try to kill you. Many rich people get depressed because they cant buy love or happiness! They basically destroy their lives.
