MERCY KILLING
1a.Explain George's perspective for what he did to Lennie.
I think it was okay for George to shoot Lennie with the luger because I thought that all the bad things hes done and all the things he's caused George.Also I thought he got George annoyed.But also it was best for Lennie to get killed by George instead of Curly.
1b.Do you think that was the best thing to do for Lennie?
I think that it was the perfect thing to do for Lennie.Lennie won' t suffer anymore if George wouldn't have done that.It was truly the best thing to do for Lennie but at the same time it was kind of messed up.
2a.Explain the father's reasons for what he did.
He must have felt sorry for his daughter to see her suffer like this.He didn't want to see his daughter suffer through machines.He cared alot for his daughter by pulling the plug on his daughter so she would not suffer anymore.
2b.Do you agree or disagree with what the father did? Why?
Well I agree and disagree with this situation of euthanasia which is mercy killing.I agree because that was the best thing to do in a situation like that.And I disagree because that counts as murder and it is illegal to do that.
3a. Imagine and list things that might have been going through the father's mind as he contemplated his "mercy" killing. (In the article, the father's suicide note gives specific evidence of why he did what he did. Elaborate on it.) Specifically, what could he have been negative or paranoid about?
Well I think that the father and mother had no other choice ,they could not do anything about it.Nobody would help them with anything and no jobs would take them for work.They had no more money in the bank and their children could have gone to an orphanage but they didn't want to let other people raise their children.
b. Unfortunately, with America's failing economy, many professionals are losing their jobs. While many do not resort to something as extreme as the man in the article, it does cause stress within families. What are some ways that parents can support children (to succeed in life) that do NOT require money?
Their education is the most important thing of their lives.When the children are filled with enough information they will be succesful in life.Because of the economy right now teachers are getting fired and children will get less information than they are supposed to.
4. After reading Of Mice and Men and the two news articles, what is your stance on euthanasia? Is "mercy" killing a legitimate way to ending someones life? List any exceptions, if you have any. (This response should be 5-8 sentences).
Mercy killing is wrong but sometimes it is right to do this.You only do this when you have no other choice.It is illegal to do this but I guess if you have to do this you can choose not to or you will get arrested.Mercy killingwill lead you to nowhere in life but jail.If you have no choice to mercy kill don't do it because you can be a better person by not doing it.
