Don't forget!

Discussion Question #2
Giovana T- to Mercedesmm, yes i agree, ideas like different kinds of government have always existed and thanks to our ancestors who have triumphed and declined in different civilizations we have learned to rule better.

Discussion Question #1
Giovana T. to Jatin, yes it was useless but later on in the story when Merlyn and the boys are talking about it Merlyn says that on some rare occasions it is necessary to fight, but just challenging each other because they are knights is useless and unnecessary.

Discussion Topic #5
Giovana T . to Jasamin, yes I agree that that communism can be bad but in the story the ants dont really think its bad, because they havent been exposed to any other way of life.

Q- howdoes being able to turn the wart in to different things help Merlyn teach Arthur?
A-By turning him to different animals with different kinds of government the wart can see and live in all those different kinds of enviroments and really experience and see the results, rather than just learning them through text books that may tell you about a way of ruling that sounds good, but might turn otherwise.

Discussion Topic #5
Most of these questions are level two questions. Level three questions connect the story to the outside world i.e. Make connections between Wart's leadership traits and someone in history that either shares these traits or is the complete opposite. Do you feel this is a successful way to lead? Hwo would the world be different if every country had a leader like the Wart?

What does King Pellinore do to show he is not noble?

I agree ,During the joust between Sir Grummore and King Pellinore King Pellinore Did yell yield amd continued to fight Sir Grummore. Thats A act of cowardsness, and that he is not living by chivalry.

Discussion Question #2
Quoting: "We make new things from what they have created and use stuff from the past in the future." There are a lot of responses that look like this. That is NOT specific. My question to that is...like what? BE SPECIFIC!

Discussion Question #2
You need to remember that you are supposed to give SPECIFIC EXAMPLES. For instance, in here we read Night which is about the Holocaust. Going through school we learned about the Holocaust. I remember one of my teacher's had a poster that said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I never really "got" thos quote until I met Mr. Kase. Yes, I had read about the Holocaust. Yes, I understood that this is something that could happen again, Yes, I believed it was some thing that needed to be stopped, but no, it was not real to me. It became real to me the day I met Mr. Kase. The Holocaust was no longer and event in history; it was a person. When I read this quote, I am 100% sure that it is true. I saw this happen within my own life.
