My evidence to the counterclaim is, “he becomes Batman as a way to make sure that no one else has to experience the trauma that he did as a child.” This shows that Batman doesn’t want other people to see or to experience what he’s experienced in the past because people can go psycho and they could be traumatized like Batman(Bryce Wayne). Bryce Wayne experienced an egregious childhood that affected him so much. Therefore, Batman should be considered a good character because he saves lives and helps innocent people who need the help.]]> 2021-04-14 13:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416199383 John Rojas https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416200092 Some people believe that Batman should be considered a good character because he fights crime and saves innocent people lives every day. My evidence for this is "After he sees the failures of the legal system, he becomes Batman as a way to make sure that no one else has to experience the trauma that he did as a child." This shows how batman cares about the people and wants them to be safe so that they won't have to feel like he felt when he was younger with the death of his parents. On the other hand some people believe that Batman should be considered a bad character because he uses violence to get justice and hurts people.According to the sample reading it states "He goes and aggressively hunts people who he believes do the wrong thing. He pursues them aggressively in his quest for justice." this shows how he hunts down the bad people and hurts them for doing bad things. However, this idea is not as strong as the claim that says Batman should be considered a good character.Even though he is using violence he only uses it for self defense and to take down really bad people so that they won't harm many other people around them.

On the other hand people may believe that Batman is not a good person because he is just a normal person without superpowers that isn't affected by laws because he is rich. According to the story "Bruce Wayne experienced the trauma of witnessing his parents getting shot and killed in front of him as a child. This inspires him to seek justice. In the comics, he inherits 9.2 billion dollars. He can easily have a comfortable life,and does not have to work hard." This shows that Batman is only a rich guy fighting bad people by breaking the law just because of his parent's death trauma. However this idea is not as strong as the idea of him being a bad person because even though his methods of capturing villains is very law breaking he stills does capture and turn in very dangerous people that the police can't do by themselves so they need Batman's help. This shows that the idea of Batman being a bad character cannot be considered because at the end of the day he is really helpful towards the police and defeats the strongest villains by himself or with Robin. fernandod52 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416202026 2021-04-14 13:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416202026 Winsen feng https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416202669 some people think batman is considered a good person since he helps people and fights for justice. my evidence to the counter claim is "After he sees the failures of the legal system, he becomes Batman as a way to make sure that no one else has to experience the trauma that he did as a child.  He decides to use his wealth and his family business as a way to continue to fight for what he thinks is right." this proves that instead of living a comfortable life he instead helped innocent people fight for justice. ]]> 2021-04-14 13:03:27 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416202669 Kevin H https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416218699 Adolf Eichmann is considered a bad person, however… people might disagree  and say that he is innocent or  “seems innocent”.

Which people are right since Adolf Eichmann looks like a cool dude and just one look you would think that he is normal.From the details from his appearance from the text “All there is to know about Adolf Eichmann”, every feature of his appearance is normal.

The counterclaim is that Some people believe that the narrator of the poem “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko should be considered a good character for not joining in on the violence of the man being beaten up by the mob. For instance, in the poem states, "
'Come on, youngster, get in it! ' I can’t remember-how many there were, making a din, beating him up. It may have been a hundred, it may have been more, but I, just a boy, wept for shame. And if a hundred are beating somebody up, howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause- I will never make one hundred and one! " This shows that the narrator does not want to join in to be a part of violence or problem. This counterclaim is weaker than the claim because even if the narrator was not able to do anything for the, he could have at least went outside the market to get police than just watch the fight and make comments like a judge of wrestling match. Therefore the counterclaim that narrator from the poem " Picture of Childhood" is a good character because he never joined in on the violence even if someone told him.]]> 2021-04-14 13:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416256517 Some people believe that Batman should be considered a good character because he fights for good For my counterclaim is "•Bruce Wayne experienced the trauma of witnessing his parents getting shot and killed infront of him as a child. This inspires him to seek justice. In the comics, he inherits 9.2 billion dollars. He can easily have a comfortable life, and does not have to work hard" This shows that Batman is a wealthy guy just fighting for justice by breaking laws all because of what happened to his parents. elijahc34 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416288166 2021-04-14 13:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416288166 wmitten https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416506198 Provide your Claim.

However, other people believe that batman should be considered an aggressive character since he is very aggressive towards people.
But he is only aggressive because of the trauma he experienced when he was a child.According to the text it states “Bruce Wayne experienced the trauma of witnessing his parents getting shot and killed in front of him as a child.  This inspires him to seek justice. “.According to the text it states“he aggressively hunts people who he believes do the wrong thing.  He pursues them aggressively in his quest for justice.”
This shows that batman does not want to see anyone else go through the trauma he did and how he cares about people.

Some people may say that Mr.  Summers shouldn’t be considered a bad character because he looks and is just a regular person. It states "Mr. Summers was very good at all times; in his clean white shirt and blue jeans", this shows that Mr. Summers can look normal.  However just because someone wears regular clothing and perceive themselves as a good person doesn't always mean they are. Mr Summers runs a game that leaves someone dead at the end, he isn't a good character. ]]> 2021-04-14 14:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416719797 Rachel Lee https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416720600 Some people believe that Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person because his actions resulted in the death of innocent lives and he didn’t want to take accountability for his actions.

On the other hand, some people may believe that Adolf Eichmann should not be considered a savage person because he has no special features to make him look savage. According to the text “All There is to Know About Adolf Eichmann'' by Leonard Cohen Stanza 1 line 5-8  it states, "DISTINGUISHING FEATURES…None. NUMBER OF FINGERS:…Ten. NUMBER OF TOES…Ten. INTELLIGENCE…Medium." This clarifies that Adolf Eichmann has no special features to make him look savage or evil. Those who argue that Adolf Eichmann should not be considered a savage person believes that in order to be savage the person will need special features. And since Adolf Eichmann doesn't have any special features, he is not savage. However, this idea is not as strong as the claim that the narrator should be considered a savage person. Yes, even though Adolf Eichmann looked just like a normal person, Adolf Eichmann still had savagery and evil inside him. Also, do not judge something based on their looks. You can only know their true selves when you talk and get to know them. Even though someone may look very innocent, they can be doing horrible things behind us. Adolf Eichmann may look like a normal human but he did such horrible actions behind the scenes. Consequently, the idea that Adolf Eichmann should not be considered a savage person can not be considered because his actions resulted in the death of innocent lives and he didn’t want to take accountability for his actions.

People will think he’s good because they overlook the bad.  Others might think he is a savage person because he’s done more bad than good. Others see that Adolf Eichmann isn't a bad person because he looked and acted like an average man. For example,  “All There is to Know About Adolf Eichmann” - By Leonard Cohen, Stanza 1 line 5-8 states, "DISTINGUISHING FEATURES…None. NUMBER OF FINGERS:…Ten. NUMBER OF TOES…Ten. INTELLIGENCE…Medium" Adolf Eichmann looked like a normal man. Especially when he went outside and talked to people. Eichmann worked for the government and was a very high respectable man so no one expected bad from him. Also, since Adolf Eichmann was working with the government no one really questioned what he did because he had very high status. However, this idea isn't a strong claim to prove Adolf Eichmann is a good person. Yes, even though Adolf looked, talked, and walked like a normal human being that shouldn't excuse his actions. Also, Adolf had so much evidence that he killed so many people since he took part of the Holocaust. He made millions suffer, starve, die, beg, cry, and scream for help. Therefore, others thinking Adolf Eichmann is a good person shouldn't be taken into consideration because of how he has done so many terrible acts throughout his life.]]> 2021-04-14 14:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416721883 Joshua Fan joshuaf269 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416722139 Some people may believe that Adolf Eichmann should not be considered savage because of how he was just "following orders". In the PBS.org article it states, "Adolf Eichmann wrote that he and other low-level officers were “forced to serve as mere instruments,”. This quote shows how Adolf Eichmann states that his actions were because he was just following orders. From this quote people may believe that Adolf Eichmann's actions were justified because of how he was following orders and was used by other higher ranking members of the Nazi group. However, even if he was just following orders and was used by others that does not excuse the fact that he helped planned the Holocaust which killed millions of innocent Jewish people.

For example, the text “All There is to Know About Adolf Eichmann” by Leonard Cohen Stanza 1 line 5 it states, “DISTINGUISHING FEATURES…..None” This line shows that Adolf Eichmann had the appearance of a normal person. Those that argue that Adolf Eichmann isn't savage believe a normal person like him couldn't possibly have done such horrible acts. However, this claim to too weak as it doesn't consider the fact that people have two sides to themselves. The appearance of a person doesn't completely reflect who a person is. Adolf Eichmann actually planned the death of many innocent people during the Holocaust despite his looks. He may seem to be innocent but he's actually a wolf in sheep's clothing. Therefore, Adolf Eichmann should be considered savage because the counterclaim thats says his isn't, is too weak and one-dimensional. ]]> 2021-04-14 14:40:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416724295 Brianna Delgado briannad166 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416724722 My claim is : Some people believe that Adolf Eichmann should be considered savage because he organized the deaths of  nearly 6 million jews during world war 2, with no mercy. The counterclaim is : However, other people might believe that Adolf Eichmann should not be considered a savage person because he was order to do theses things by his superiors. For example, the text “How the Nazi’s defense of ‘just following orders’ plays out in the mind” By PBS.org  states that " Holocaust organizer Adolf Eichmann wrote that he and other low-level officers were "forced to serve as mere instruments”. This evidence makes other people think he is not savage because he was not the one who came up with the initial idea of the holocaust, and because he was just listening to his superiors. But in reality you cannot bring back those millions of lives that were taken away. Adolf Eichmann still took part in planning the deaths of millions of innocent jews and if he wanted to he could have secretly helped them or even warned them about the things that were about to happen to them. Adolf Eichmann instead just kept quiet, and followed through with the  plan they had which was the Holocaust. Therefore, the counterclaim were Adolf Eichmann should not be considered a savage person is simply not valid due to his involvement in the holocaust. ]]> 2021-04-14 14:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416724722 Jack Li jackl75 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416725987 Other people believe that Adolf Eichmann shouldn't be considered as a savage person because he didn't look like he could be capable of doing something as evil as being responsible for millions of deaths. He was thought to be this average man but this goes to show, anyone is capable of anything. For example, in the text it states "EYES:……………………………………Medium
HAIR:……………………………………Medium
WEIGHT:………………………………Medium
HEIGHT:………………………………Medium
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES…None
NUMBER OF FINGERS:………..Ten
NUMBER OF TOES………………Ten
INTELLIGENCE…………………….Medium." This shows how he was shown as this average person, being comparable to anyone and didn't seem capable to be able to do much harm. However, this idea for the counterclaim is much weaker than the claim that Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person. Although, he is sought to be this average man, he was still able to be responsible for millions of lives. He is compared to unrealistic things but ends up being an average man showing anyone is capable of anything.

Although people see Mr. Summer as a bad person, but others may see him doing the right thing because in their society, the doing of the lottery could be a way to prevent overpopulation or other disasters. For instance, " ""All right, folks, "Mr. Summers said. "Let's finish quickly.""" This shows that Mr. Summer wanted to hurry this process, so everyone can continue their normal lives again, which can also indicate that its normal for them to do the lottery and kill the person thats chosen from it. However this idea is not as strong as the claim because evidence in "The Lottery" mainly states that Mr. Summer is a bad person. Not helping the victim and letting them die over some lottery game. ]]> 2021-04-14 14:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416726775 Byron Zhang https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416755681 Some people may read “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson for the first and come up with the claim that Mr. Summers is a nice and loving person because he has a bad family yet he still helps out the village. ““All right, folks,” Mr. Summers said. “Let’s finish quickly.”” from line 73. This quote also supports the belief that Mr. Summers is a good man. Also according to the quote people may believe that Mr. Summers is a good person because he doesn’t want to dwell on someone getting stones but rather wants to finish it quickly. However a counter to this would statement be the fact that Mr. Summers wants to finish quickly because he doesn’t want people to think that he enjoys seeing people suffer. After reading the text “The Lottery” multiple times, you can also come up with the inference that Mr. Summers wants to finish someone quickly, because he wants to stone the ‘winner’ and quickly leave before someone questions him. In conclusion, the claim that Mr. Summers is a good person is out written due to the various reasonings that someone can come up with that involving Mr. Summers being an wicked character]]> 2021-04-14 14:46:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416755681 Benjamin https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1416927148 Mr. Summers is a good person because he wants to change the lottery tradition.

It states in the text, "  The lottery was conducted--as were the square dances, the teen club, the Halloween program--by Mr. Summers. who had time and energy to devote to civic activities."

Due to the beginning of the story where hes seen to be excited and running towards a fight exclaiming he doesn’t want to miss and other don’t either. Not to mention in the poem it also says “They beat him up with relish. With ingenuity. Juicy. I saw how skillfully and precisely”. He compared the two, even making comments on how skillful and precise the hits were. People believe hes a bad person for going to see the fight, not helping and even commenting during the fight. However it doesn’t change the fact although he made bad actions he still realized he was in the wrong and became shameful when witnessing how more gruesome the fight gotten. He even commented saying “if a hundred are beating somebody up, howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause- I will never make one hundred and one!”

Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it! We pick up speed, racing to the uproar,” this shows how they were excited to see the fight, they are apart of the problem, not an outlier, not the solution and as a result they are a problem, some might say that he is a good person and should be completely excused as he didn’t join in, in lines 40-45 the author writes “It may have been a hundred, it may have been more, but I, just a boy, wept for shame. And if a hundred are beating somebody up, howling in a frenzy-even if for a good cause- I will never make one hundred and one!” In some people’s eyes this redeems him and makes him a good person as he decides not to join the fight, but this ideology is flawed as he never had the right intention and only changed his mind last second, he might not be the worst person, he might be better than the other savages, he might not be savage, but that doesn’t all of a sudden make him good either, he still lies in the bad side of things, he is part of the problem and was apart of the mob]]> 2021-04-14 16:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1417215893 Ewurafua Benn https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1417460065 Ms.Hutchinson should not be considered a civilized character because she encouraged and engaged in a lottery that ends in the death of people in her own town that she knows and continues to justify it by calling it a ritual. On the other hand others believe that Ms.Hutchinson should be considered a civilized character because she is being brainwashed and influenced by her town to believe that what she participated in was the right thing to do. For Example the text “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson states “The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock;...the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.The children assembled first, of course...Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready”. This demonstrates how she has been participating in the lottery since she was young so she has come to believe that it is ok to kill someone as a tradition. People believe this because when you grow up doing a ritual or a tradition from your childhood it becomes a custom to continue to do it and not see anything wrong with it because everyone else around you participates as well, in this case her whole town took a chance showing how nothing was wrong with it.  ]]> 2021-04-14 16:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1417460065 AMENA MAMMADOV amenam https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1417569030    The narrator is a good character because he did not interact and join the fight where the man was being beaten up, instead, he just felt bad for the man while he chose not to interfere with the fight. On the other hand, other people may believe the narrator, Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a bad character because he is selfish as he did not involve himself in the fight to help the man stop getting hurt, he just watched the fight happen. According to the poem “The Pictures of Childhood” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko Stanza 2 lines 1-6, it states that, “And stood stock-still./In our little hearts something tightened,/when we saw how the ring of sheepskin coats,/fur coats, hooded coats, was contracting,/how he stood up near the green vegetable stall/with his head pulled into his shoulders from the hail/of jabs, kicks, spitting, slaps in the face.” This clarifies that the narrator could be a selfish person as he did not help the man who was getting hurt, he just stood shocked. Those who argue that the narrator in this poem who experienced the fight is a bad character believe that it is wrong to just stare at something terrible happening even if you are not causing the horrible actions, it is not something a “good” person would do. However, this idea is not as strong as the claim that the narrator should be considered a good character. Yes, even though the narrator wasn’t helping the victim out, the narrator still had the mindset of a civilized person to not listen to the others who had told him to come and hit the man too. Also, the narrator was just a child so it can be that he didn’t know how to stand up for the man as hundreds were hurting him and he could have been scared, he wrote his childhood experience from this fight as a man right now. He just wanted to show that he is a person who doesn’t follow other’s negative actions, which is what a good character would only do. It was already honorable that Yevtushenko was staying out of all the violence as a civilized child, it is much better than the savage adults hurting the man. Consequently, the idea that the narrator, Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a bad character can not be considered, because he did well in not becoming violent towards the victim he saw during the fight and is a good character.

On the other hand, people may believe the narrator is a bad character because he did not involve himself in the fight to help the man stop getting hurt, he just watched the fight happen. According to the text it states, “"You wouldn’t want to miss it! We pick up speed, racing to the uproar, scooping up water in our felt boots and forgetting to wipe our sniffles." This quote shows how the narrator was trying to persuade and influence people to watch the fight and get hurt instead of helping. This shows how this narrator may conduct two arguments on whether if he is civilized but with a bad history or he must be savage.

The counterclaim is: some people believe that the character from 
'picture of childhood" is believed to be a bad character because the narrator didn't do anything to help the man that was getting beat up by the people in the market so this would be why the character would be considered a bad character for the story, The text states "Elbowing our way, we run. Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it!" , this is what the story states in the beginning and the character shows excitement for wanting to see the fight in the market and this is showing how the character is a bad character for the story because he wants to see the fight instead of wanting to rush to help and stop the fight. Therefore this is why many people believe that the narrator for "Picture of childhood" by Yevgeny Yevtushenko is to be represented as a bad character for the story.]]> 2021-04-14 17:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1417767757 Amit Hariprashad amith99 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1417778790 My claim is: “Some people think that the narrator from “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a good character for not involving himself with the gang's cruel, violent, inhumane actions.”
 The counterclaim is: Other people think the narrator from “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a bad character because of the way he pushed the people at the beginning of the story to watch the man get beat up. In the text “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko it states “Elbowing our way, we run. Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it!” Some people look at these lines and say that the narrator is a bad character because it shows mob mentality. This shows mob mentality because he followed people who were violent. Him and his friends pushed through the crowd not caring who he hurt to try and watch the brutal beating. He knew what the mob was doing was wrong and that it should be stopped but he didn’t do anything to stop the beating. However this counterclaim is weaker than the claim that states the narrator is a good character. Even though the narrator pushed the people at the beginning to watch a man get beat brutally and didn’t even help the man, we have to remember the narrator was a little kid at the time. He was probably scared watching all that violence. Think about it. How will a small child stop 100 men from beating on 1 other person. At least he was being civilized to turn down the mob boss request to come and join the beating. The narrator wrote this childhood experience as a man and wanted to show that he will not let others pressure him into doing bad things. This is something a good character would do. Therefore the counterclaim that the narrator from “Picture of Childhood” is not a good character is not reasonable because he didn’t follow the mob and did not inflict harm on the victim even when someone told him to.]]> 2021-04-14 17:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1417778790 Cris https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1417789878 My claim is that Some people believe Mr. Summers is a good character because he follows the villages rules.

people might believe batman is considered as a bad character because as some  people state “If Batman was a good hero, Gotham wouldn't be bad,”
“he aggressively hunts people who he believes do the wrong thing. “This  can support my claim because batman only hunts people who he thinks might be doing the wrong thing not the people who actually might be doing the right thing.

Some people may claim that Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage man due to his action resulting to the death of many Jews . However, some people believe that Adolf Eichmann shouldn’t be considered a savage man because he was a civilized man wh8 just took orders from his boss without any questioning. In the text “who was Adolf Eichmann” it states “During World War I, Eichmann’s family moved from Germany to Linz, Austria. His pre-Nazi life was rather ordinary. He worked as a traveling salesman in Oberösterreich (Upper Austria) for an oil company but lost his job during the Great Depression.” This  quote demonstrates the act of civilization where adolf eichmann was once a man who worked as a traveling salesman, which doesn’t necessarily mean he wasn't a cruel/violence person.

A girl named Tessie "won" the lottery and she claimed "it wasn't fair" in the text and I agree with her. People plummet you with rocks when you "win".

Most superheroes or villains fight for justice. As an example, one of the family members of a superhero dies, the superhero will get mad and seek for justice. For example on slide five, it states “Bruce Wayne experienced the trauma of witnessing his parents getting shot and killed in front of him as a child.

In the text, “Batman and the Quest for Justice”, by Mr. Skolnick, it states, “He goes and he aggressively hunts people who he believes do the wrong thing.  He pursues them aggressively in his quest for justice.” This clearly shows how Batman can be considered a bad character, since he obtains justice through violence and not by peaceful methods, causing the fights to end in a greater disaster than in the beginning. However, this is not a very strong argument, because Batman is a hero in which he decided to take the bad guys the way they treated others, making Batman a good character not simply by facing evil but also for being a character who decided not to let the wicked go. ]]> 2021-04-15 13:57:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1421097536 sonamg16 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1421101153 Some people believe that batman should be considered a good character because he fights for justice.

In the text, "Batman and the Quest for Justice" it states “He goes and he aggressively hunts people who he believes do the wrong thing.  He pursues them aggressively in his quest for justice.” 
He aggressively hunts people because he had to face a trauma as a child which is very difficult. Just so others do not have to face it he fights those dangerous people.

Due to his loss of job he found new ones and later on contributed to the death of many Jews where he  transported the Jews into the execution camp which makes him a savage man.

Yeah, he may look normal but he can be a bad person and no one would know. According to the article it states, “ mr summers is good all the time with his clean white shirt and blue jeans”. This shows that he looks like a normal person to just put on a show. What I mean by putting on a show is that he wants to act the part of being nice and innocent until he picks the lottery winner.

I saw how skillfully and precisely". From how well he was describing it, it seemed like he didn't take his eyes off for a moment. Despite this it doesn't change the fact he realized his own mistakes near the end. Became shameful. And realized he was a bad person for even finding it entertaining to come and see this, if he was a bad person he would have joined in, or not have felt guilt or realized his mistakes.

In other hand Mr summers shouldn't be considered a bad character because, mob mentality is taken place, they are used to that tradition, and cant stop.

This piece of evidence describes how Adolf Eichmann looked and he did not have any fangs or talons, he appeared to be a very normal person. Although there is evidence that supports this arguement, this idea is weaker than the one that states that Adolf Eichmann should be considered a savage person. Just because he looks like an average person, does not mean he is incapable of conducting the mass murder of millions of Jews. Your physical features do not determine whether you are a savage or civilized person.

He just chose not to interfere with the situation. According to the poem, “The Pictures of Childhood” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko Stanza 2 lines 1-6, “ it says , “ And stood stock-still. In our little hearts something tightened, when we saw how the ring of sheepskin coats, fur coats, hooded coats, was contracting, how he stood up near the green vegetable stall with his head pulled into his shoulders from the hail of jabs, kicks, spitting, slaps in the face.” This shows that the narrator was in shock. And when the narrator was in shock he felt helpless so this clarifies that he was in shock and not selfish. Many people would argue that standing and looking at a person getting beaten would be a selfish and savage move, but that doesn’t clarify why the narrator was standing there like that. The narrator was a helpless boy who didn’t know how to help the person getting beaten up. He also has the characteristics of a civilized person because when others were joining and beating up the boy Yevgeny didn’t join at all he stayed out of the problem and he didn’t hurt anyone. Briefly, The claim people argue that Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a bad character doesn’t quite add up and can not be considered, because he was in shock and he didn’t get involved with the brutal fight instead he was “weeping for shame” looking at the fight happen standing still with civilized actions. ]]> 2021-04-21 18:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1444036503 Musah https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1455541330 Adolf, you think its something bad or devastating, and cruel but adolf einchaman was a savage person.

He was a major part of the holocausts and the killing of 6 million human beings of 1 ethnicity he didn't like. Looks don't matter if about how you are, your personality and actions justify that and the actions Adolf Eichmann has done makes him a savage person.

Either way no matter the reason, even if he's being brainwashes, he is still in the end running an event that takes the life of another person. Which can not be forgivable no matter what way you look at it. It's a cruel act.]]> 2021-04-30 07:40:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1477228979 Jasmine Haniff https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1477296998  My claim: The term savagery or savage person is used to describe an individual who inhibits ferociousness. Adolf Eichmann was a German-Austrian S.S Nazi colonel. The constant debate between many different individuals on whether or not Otto should or should not be classified as a savage person or guilty for the act of savagery. Although it can be argued, Adolf did organize the deaths and suffrage of millions of Jews within the Holocaust, therefore, making him a savage person. 
My counterclaim: on the other hand some may believe that Adolf Enichmann wouldnt be considered a savage person due to the idea that he appears as an average man.  In the text it states "EYES: Medium HAIR: Medium WEIGHT: Medium
HEIGHT: Medium DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: None NUMBER OF FINGERS: Ten NUMBER OF TOES: Ten INTELLIGENCE: Medium." This description gives off the impression that yes Otto appeared as a regular man. But appearance isn't a determining factor for whether or not a person is savage or not.]]> 2021-04-30 08:14:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1477296998 Many people think that batman should be considered a good character because he is always fighting for good and ever since his parents were killed he has wanted to stop every villain that has lived in Gotham City. CounterClaim: Batman is known for being rich and as Bruce Wayne but people don't know way he does fight crime and it all started when he witness the death of his parents and since he was a little boy there was nothing that he could do, and this inspired him to fight crime and he is a wealthy man that he doesn't have to work at all and he can do whatever he want with his life and is to fight for Justice. https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1478409400 Elijah Paredes]]> 2021-04-30 14:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1478409400 Anaria https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1479745734 Some people claim that the narrator in the poem “picture of childhood” is a good character because in the poem they talk about stuff that do happen in the real world, and that the narrator does not get involved in violence or any type of drama. However, on the other hand, some people think that the narrator is a bad person because when the guy was getting beat up, the narrator did not do anything about it. In the text, it says “someone is getting beat up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it.” This shows mob mentality basically. So people may use this line to show proof of the narrator not doing anything.]]> 2021-04-30 19:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1479745734 Anaria https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1479989166  I say that Batman is a good person because he basically goes out of his way to hunt people who literally does bad things, crimes. He does this because of his own trauma. However, some people say that Batman is a bad person, since he is a person who aggressively hurts others. In the text it states “ he goes and aggressively hunts people who he believes does bad things.” People with this claim may use this as evidence to prove that he is a bad person]]> 2021-04-30 21:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1479989166 Even with all of this evidence, people still believe that Yevgeny Yevtushenko is a bad person because he stood by the scene . The reason they think this is stated in “Picture of Childhood”, “Elbowing our way, we run. Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it! We pick up speed, racing to the uproar, scooping up water in our felt boots and forgetting to wipe our sniffles.” Many people were wanting to see what was going on instead of helping the man and Yevtushenko was one of them. However, this claim does not make sense considering the fact that he was just a boy. A big responsibility should not be shifted to a person young as he was at that time. If anything, Yevgeny Yevtushenko declined the demand of the person asking him to join. It shows he was terrified, and honestly any child would normally have this type of reaction. Therefore, Yevgeny is a good person no matter what other claims say otherwise. https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1480269262 2021-05-01 00:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1480269262 Lei Gao leig2 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1480287233 Some people believe that the narrator of “Picture of Childhood,” by Yevgeny Yevtushenko, should be considered a good character. In the poem, it talks about real world events and shows how people of the world would likely be like the narrator of the poem and wouldn't take part in events that would bring harm to anyone. On the other hand, some people believe that the narrator should be considered as a bad character. In the text it states, "Someone is being beaten up in the market", "You wouldn’t want to miss it!", and "We pick up speed, racing to the uproar," This is showing how since the majority of people are doing something, it causes people to join in on what they are doing which can negative.

In the story it states that “Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones. The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready; there were stones on the ground with the blowing scraps of paper that had come out of the box.” This quote suggests that Mr. Summer does not get involved with the actual violence that is associated with the person chosen out of the black box. However, some critics may argue that he is in charge of the tradition and carries it out without reservation. The black box is owned by Mr. Summer, so he has prior knowledge of the events that are potentially going to take place and what will be carried out as a result. Furthermore, In the story, Mrs. Hutchinson pleads in order to exact fairness for the lottery. Mr. Summer was more concerned about carrying out the lottery and ensuring that there was enough “time” rather than stopping to understand her side of the lottery. Thus, making Mr. Summers accountable for his actions because he is carrying it out with no regard to Mrs. Hutchinson, her feelings and most importantly—her family. Although Mr. Summer is not directly involved with the violence that takes place, it is clear that his black box which is organized and created by him is used to carry out the violence which makes him as responsible and complicit as the folks that are throwing the stones. ]]> 2021-05-01 02:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1480376582 Michelle Ramirez https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1480387969 I Think the narrator from “Picture of Childhood” should be considered a good person because he did not want to interfere in the fight and still felt bad for the man getting beaten up. Some people believe that the narrator from “Picture of Childhood” should be considered a good person.Some people also believe he should not be considered a good person. Some people believe he is a good person because he did not want to get involved in the fight and just stood there watching. Some people believe he is not a good person because he did not help and stop the fight. In stanza 2 lines 1-6 it says “And stood stock-still. In our little hearts, something tightened, when we saw how the ring of sheepskin coats, fur coats, hooded coats, was contracting, how he stood up near the green vegetable stall with his head pulled into his shoulders from the hail of jabs, kicks, spitting, slaps in the face.”This shows how people might see this as him not caring for the men getting beaten up because he was just standing there doing nothing when in reality he was shocked and scared and did not know what to do.Nevertheless, the narrator from “Picture of Childhood” is a good person for not joining in the fight and did not listen to people influencing him to join.

intentions by watching them in the fight. According to the text it states, “Elbowing our way, we run.
Someone is being beaten up in the market. You wouldn’t want to miss it! We pick up speed, racing to
the uproar.” This shows that they don’t feel any remorse that someone is getting beaten up, they are showing excitement to see how that person is getting beaten up.]]> 2021-05-01 03:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1480437202 https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1612652050 Jason dudnauth 

Some people believe that mr summers is considered a good character because he’s a jovial normal guy just trying to do what he has to do. For example in Shirley Jackson’s “the lottery” it says “ The lottery was conducted—as were the square dances, the teen-age club, the Halloween program—by Mr. Summers, who had time and energy to devote to civic activities. He was a round-faced, jovial man and he ran the coal business, and people were sorry for him, because he had no children and his wife was a scold.” This means that mr summers is a good character because he’s just a guy hosting square dances, teen clubs, Halloween programs and the lottery. Also they may say he’s a good character because he has no children and a wife that’s scold and that mr summers is just trying to make a living with his coal business, but calling him a good character is a weak claim because he’s hosting the lottery which kills someone every year and also he just watches them kill and he doesn’t stop it showing that he has a evil side even though he’s a jovial man. Therefore, mr summers should not be considered a good character because he may seem a jovial guy but at the end he’s just evil to not stop the lottery since he’s the host.]]> 2021-06-17 16:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/38u8eyrrppdaheme/wish/1612652050
