# data[].attributes.body
you get a lot more respect than fear. My answer didn't change

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think this at all. A good friendship shouldn't have to depend on your intelligence. My answer stayed the same

# data[].attributes.body
For a lot of people, they can achieve success through hard work. But for people like George and Lennie, they worked hard for months, and didn't receive that much of a reward

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that everyone is treated equally. My answer didn't change.

# data[].attributes.body
It's better to be more respected than feared because people will more likely trust you better. My answer didn't really change

# data[].attributes.body
I don't really think it's okay, but it also depends on the situation you're in. If you're doing it to save someone later on, it's probably the right thing

# data[].attributes.body
For me, everyone is equal. I look at a rich man the same way I look at a homeless man. I agree people may not get treated equally, but I think everyone is equal.

# data[].attributes.body
gave both a 1 because thats a stupid rule and friendship shouldn't discriminate because differences can be good, if anything the book made me believe this more

# data[].attributes.body
my answer stayed the same because being friends is about personality not on how smart or wealthy they are

# data[].attributes.body
Everyone you're friends with has different morals and backgrounds. Every single person you meet can have a different impact on your life, or your view of life

# data[].attributes.body
my answer didnt change because a persons worth should never effect how much they can contribute to something

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it ok to hurt someone for no reason. I do think that George did the right thing in their situation. My answer stayed the same.

# data[].attributes.body
gave both 7s because contributions to society are valued and so it makes sense that the people who make the contributiions have a higher "worth" however that shouldn't be the only determining factor of someone's worth.

# data[].attributes.body
Just because someone can't contribute to society, does not mean they're not worth anything.

# data[].attributes.body
I gave this a one on my pre reading and a one on my after reading. I think my answer didnt change because in Of mice and men everyone was friends with Lennie even through he wasnt as smart as as everyone else

# data[].attributes.body
my answer didnt change because working hard dosent always mean you will get alot in return

# data[].attributes.body
same opinion gave it a 5 because no matter how hard someone works, there will always be things you can't control that can prevent you from succeeding like how candy has been at the ranch forever and not succeeded

# data[].attributes.body
in the characters from the book's case, it can make it harder. but you shouldn't limit your friends to people as smart as you.

# data[].attributes.body
Most people who work hard, even with financial disadvantages still can succeed. There are so many examples of people like this in society

# data[].attributes.body
1 because like lennie and george, you can learn things from each other and how smart you are does not define who you are as a person and dosen't define the positive things about you.

# data[].attributes.body
I gave this a five on my pre reading and a one on my after reading. i think my answer changed because Curly had a lot more worth on the food change but did not do anything for the farm at least not as much as the other guys did.

# data[].attributes.body
Many people in society are treated unequally and less than others who have more than them, so no not everyone is equal.

# data[].attributes.body
some people, especially large companies might only see their employees as tools, they only care about them when they're useful. my rating is mostly different.

# data[].attributes.body
Friendship is what you want it to be, you can make friends with anyone you want. stayed the same as before the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Someone who has more respect for someone in a position of power and vice versa, may be more likely to help that person out.

# data[].attributes.body
i chose 2 because respect is such a powerful thing and respect goes a lot further then fear

# data[].attributes.body
7 because if you're a high school dropout for example, society will make you more worthless then if you finished or went to college

# data[].attributes.body
A person's worth isn't decided on what they can give because some people don't have much to give and are just trying to survive. Stayed similar to first answer.

# data[].attributes.body
I gave this a ten on my pre reading and a four on my after reading. I think my answer changed because i notice in of mice and men that Curly didnt really work that hard but he succeeded a lot more then everyone else because of his advantges in life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think friendship can happen between any two people no matter how smart or how dumb one of them is. My answer didn't change.

# data[].attributes.body
Score: 1

Reason: IQ test before friendship? Sounds dumb. George and Lennie also prove this statement wrong.

Changed?: nope

# data[].attributes.body
it's extremely difficult to succeed for many people unless they already have some sort of advantage, financially or other. rating didn't change.

# data[].attributes.body
im friends with people who are smarter than me, george and lennie are friends and lennie is not very smart.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it really depends on the situation because if you just hurt a friend for no reason that is wrong but if your friend has been hurting you then it makes more sense

# data[].attributes.body
I think your worth does depend a lot on what you contribute, but not entirely. My answer didn't change much.

# data[].attributes.body
Score: 2

Reason: Worth depends on more than societal contributions

Changed?: yup, saw new points of view in the book

# data[].attributes.body
i have not done much for all of society and i think im worth something/ im not just a waste of oxygen.

# data[].attributes.body
I think most people have good intentions, but have a hard time showing it the right way.

# data[].attributes.body
5 because its never ok to intentionally hurt a friend but hurting that friend might save that friend from ever being hurt again they will learn from that many people cant take no for an answer and many people can when you are hurt you come back better from it

# data[].attributes.body
it depends on what opportunities you are given and what you have to work for. changed from my first answer because of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's better to work with people who respect and look up to you rather than control people who are scared of you. rating didn't change.

# data[].attributes.body
Working hard is definitely a key factor in success, but there are other things. I think you can't be successful without working hard, but you can work hard and not be successful. My answer didn't change.

# data[].attributes.body
I gave this a five on my pre reading and a one on my after reading. Because in mice of men Curly was very much feared but he was not respected at all because he was feared. Also because he was feared no one really liked him that much.

# data[].attributes.body
Having smart friends can help you get smarter but a good friend doesn't have to be smart.

# data[].attributes.body
in of mice and men this does not seem to be the case because they never get the american dream but now a days i think you can achive almost anything you want to.

# data[].attributes.body
It doesn't matter if the text is fiction, I think you could learn really valuable and important things and ideas from any form of literature

# data[].attributes.body
Score: 7

Reason: Can be true, social studies monopoly and George and Lennie say otherwise

Changed?: yes, because of what happened with George and Lennie

# data[].attributes.body
my opinion didn't change gave it a 1 because ultimately fear is powerful but respect is greater and more likely to give you longlasting connections, loyalty, and safety, plus making people fear you is not good

# data[].attributes.body
A persons worth is only definable by oneself.

# data[].attributes.body
This doesn't make sense because if you act like this then you are clearly too dumb to function.

1 i feel like no matter if your as smart as a 11th grader or as dumb as a 1st grader you can still be friends.

I think you always gain more from respect than from fear. I think being feared might help you but being respected will help you more. My answer stayed the same.

# data[].attributes.body
Score: 1

Reason: People liking you because they want to vs. because they have to is better

Changed?: nope

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it really depends on the situation because in OMAM, George didn't want to have to kill Lennie but he knew that either way something bad would have happened, either Curly would have shot them or if they tried to run away, their problems would just follow.

# data[].attributes.body
Respected and feared people both have power but feared people don't have good connections. stayed similar to my first answer.

# data[].attributes.body
i chose 3 because in our world people strive for equality but very few are treated equally in our world

# data[].attributes.body
hurting a friend for no reason isn't okay whether its physical or not, but sometimes it's required. my rating changed slightly

# data[].attributes.body
A little bit of luck may set you forward or back sometimes but in general hard work will make you succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
6 because in theory yes, but if you are not a white straight person, your going to have to work a lot harder to even survive let alone succeed

# data[].attributes.body
I gave this a ten on my pre reading and a five on my after reading. I think my answer changed because I noticed that Gorge did the right thing for Lennie even though it meant hurting Lennie.

# data[].attributes.body
I think most people have the right intentions and want to do the right thing, but some don't really know how to show that. My answer didn't change

# data[].attributes.body
1 You can learn from fiction no matter what there are many meanings fiction can give us

Reason: Applies most of the time, good example of exception is George killing Lennie

Changed?: nope

# data[].attributes.body
2 because anyone can be friends but it could get irritating if someone's really dumb all the time, if it doesn't really get on your nerves it's fine.

# data[].attributes.body
its almost always better to be respcted than feared becase if everyone is afraid of you no one will like you but if everyone respects you evryone will like you.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in certain circumstances is okay to hurt a friend if you're saving them from more hurt down the road or saving yourself from being hurt, but you should avoid hurting anyone if you can. My answer stayed the same.

# data[].attributes.body
moral worth and physical contribution are different, so it could be eather

# data[].attributes.body
A person can be feared and respected and both can be useful.

there are diffrent kinds of smart and that is somthing people tend to forget. so no, you dont have to be as smart as someone.

I think fiction teaches valuable writing skills, and lessons

I think that all books have a lesson to them. My opinion didn't change

my opinion didn't change gave it a 9 because it's never ok to hurt a friend, even out of pettiness if they did something to you but if its for their own good, than maybe, but that would be rare

# data[].attributes.body
1 because your self worth isn't for other people to decide and not everyone can contribute to society.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it matters if your smarter.

i think you can learn alot from fiction because usually theres always a good message

everyone definitely should be treated equally, but not everyone is. racism, sexism, homophobia, etc are still a major issue in society and have been for a very long time.

there is no reason you should hurt a friend unless there in a bad situation, for example if there is a car about to crash into them you could push them out of the way and save them but they might get hurt from your push but at least they didint get run over my a car. so there is not much of a reason to hurt a friend

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think everyone is treated equally, even though the law says they should be. My answer stayed the same.

# data[].attributes.body
Occasionally it save you and your friend more pain if you hurt them in the moment.

# data[].attributes.body
1 It is not your fault if for some reason you don't have a hand or if you aren't as smart you can still contribute.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we all are different in our own ways but our society needs to improve with having equality for all no matter what

# data[].attributes.body
I gave this a nine in my pre reading a a one in my after reading. I think my answer changed because i saw in mice of men the advantages and disavantages. Like how Curly was always "better" then everyone else but he didnt really do a lot on the farm.

# data[].attributes.body
Most people have good intentions but don't use the right ways to solve those problems
