I like how sasha alluted to a raisin in the sun because walter mama, and walter father lived in a poor community and didn't have the best standards of living but walters parents wanted a house and walter was going to open a liquor store in order to help his family and would do whatever it takes.

I like how natalie relates to walter feeling selfish when he lost the money to willie harris and how gatsby didn't obtain his money by himself or in his own way but didn't care in order to pursue daisy.

Sniggy had a good statement by saying that once you have a strong drive it makes you do questionable things and overthink situations when Gatsby had a dream to be with Daisy he felt accomplished that he made Tom feel less of a person by saying "Your wife doesn't love you"

# data[].attributes.body
What Chris said about dreams giving you a drive and pushing you to do whatever you want to achieve is accurate and very true. Although it's good to go for your dreams, sometimes it can interfere with human morals and being truthful.

I like how natalie illutes to the crucible because we see how abigails dream was to be with john proctor and she was willing to lie about witchcraft and willing to have a affair with him to get elizabeth proctors attention and to make her feel betrayed by john proctor

Setting goals give you a long-term vision to look forward to accomplishing. In the short story "There's more to life than being happy" it said that happiness w/o meaning characterizes a relatively shallow, self absorbed or even selfish life.

I agree with dan that when your pursuing a dream and you put so much passion into it you will sacrifise family time, people around, and everything around you to chase a dream in order to satisfied with your well being

purpose gives people life and keeps them alive like in The Great Gatsby, Gatsby could've given up on his life long ago but he kept pursuing that dream to get Daisy.

Jordan tells Tom that "Gatsby bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay." Gatsby is extremely patient and determined to get Daisy back. He purposely dedicated those 5 years to do everything in his power to win his love back. However, his morals seemed to have changed since "He had certainly taken her under false pretenses" by lying to everyone around him.

I agree with abby and how gatsby had the will and courage to go out of his way to break up a marraige and a strong relationship between Tom and daisy buchanon

Does losing morals to achieve a goal make a person look more hardworking or look more like a bad person?

It should never be ok to lose your morals because if you even achieve that dream. Someone enviably try will try to take it. Since, you lost your morals trying to build up what you had. It can be easily destroyed by someone without morals or even quicker with someone with morals.

The Judges in The Crucible lost their morals because they wanted to put people in jail to achieve their goal of proving witchcraft.

# data[].attributes.body
Is there any situation where the loss of morals to achieve success is justifiable?

Most of the conversation has been about the negative effect on others when someone around them looses their morals and that it is never okay to loose morals, but I think it is justifiable to loose morals to achieve success if it doesn't effect others. One example of this is when Gatsby sold alcohol illegally. It didn't affect anyone around him and he achieved his goals of becoming wealthy.

# data[].attributes.body
I like what Abby said, because I think that if someone effects others then it is not justifiable. If they are not effecting anyone then they can loose their morals, but not if your ruining a family.

# data[].attributes.body
Just because someone works hard to achieve their goal or their dream, doesn't mean they are allowed to do things illegal or effect others.

I agree with Armani when he says that when you do anything you can for success you must face the consequences for your actions.

I agree with Armani, doing anything achieve greatness isn't always the best option. As seen the the gown vs town case with Mike Nifong

Would you be willing to do something illegal in order to satisfy someones well being?

How did Gatsby's isolation from his parents affect his morals and the decisions he makes?

Losing morals to achieve greatness shows the type of person you are and although it may be easier to achieve what you want by losing morals, it would not mean as much if you got that by cheating your way to the top.

In the Crucible, Abigail was desperate to have John Proctor for herself. She used the Salem Witch Trials to her advantage by creating nefarious accusations to eliminate those she despises, including Elizabeth Proctor.

I like Nick's point where he brings up the fact that there are many different ways to affect morals an not all of them are horrible things.

If one sacrifices their morals, I think that it means they are desperate and looking for a last chance.

I would agree and also say that losing morals to achieve success a lot of the time actually leads to failure and ruin and not the success they wanted.

I like how everyone is relating this question to the books well. I also said that being a responsible person means to accept the consequences of your actions. Being responsible makes one feel good about themselves. Walter is both responsible by taking the blame for giving away the money, but unresponsible because he didn't put Beneatha's money into the bank.

# data[].attributes.body
We have a responsibility for the people around us and I like how the group mentioned how Walter had a responsibility of his family.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we are only responsible to how our actions affect others around us. For example, When Walter Jr Used all of their money to try and buy a Liqueur Store from a con artist, Walter Jr was responsible for how his actions changed the hopes and dreams of his family. Another example of this is from the Crucible. Abby is responsible for the people that ended up hanged because of her pretending to be bewitched. It was her responsibility to control her actions and how they affected others.

I think we have the responsibility to own up to all the mistakes we made and the all the harm it caused

I think that when our actions start affecting other people and start creating issues that's when we need to start taking responsibility towards them. This then influences our later actions because we would think about this before making a decision. An example of this would be when Mama bought the house for her family, she wasn't just making the decision/action for herself she was making it for the whole family, mostly Walter jr because she bought it so it would be his house later in life.

I believe we have a responsibility to realize the consequences that our actions might have on others. Responsibility is being able to look beyond ourselves and towards the bigger picture, and being conscious about how every decision we make could affect those around them. This responsibility it a part of being a citizen in society.

# data[].attributes.body
Our actions result in possible consequences as shown through Gatsby. Before taking an action, one should think of the possible consequences and Gatsby should have thought about what could happen before entering Daisy's life and trying to break Tom and Daisy up.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the fear of receiving a consequence can drive of to do things that we will regret. In the Crucible, the only reason so many people died is because the girl were scared of getting in trouble so they put the blame on other people in the town.

They are being polite to each other, and transitioning well from book to book, by saying, "I agree"... and finding a way to prove their points in every book.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with how everyone is using Gatsby as a good example of how our actions affect others. In Gatsby, he only ever really cares or focuses on getting Daisy, this is his goal. Because he is so focused on this one goal, he is blind to how his actions are affecting others, and the reckless path that leads to trying to get Daisy, dragging Nick into it and worsening Tom and Daisy's marriage. He often times only uses people to reach his goal.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Gatsby is justified in his pursuit of Daisy because everyone is entitled to their own dream and passion, Gatsby's hunt for Daisy didn't put anyone in direct harm. I think Myrtle's death was a death of chance and was Myrtle's fault and then Gatsby's death stemmed off of this. Gatsby was also saving Daisy from a toxic relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
They are relating alot to Gatsby, but I think they should go back and talk about the other books, like A Raisin In the Sun, the Crucible, or "There is more to Life than being Happy."

Another example for why it's important to think about how our actions will affect others before we make decisions is when John Proctor cheats on his wife it not only affects him but also his wife and Abby too. This later on turns into something bigger because of Abby.
