She didn't care who's life was on the line because she didn't know them. Therefore she is selfish.   - wkc]]> 2021-09-29 19:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kebanez1_1/gwj7a68in0dmxicq/wish/1779118062 https://padlet.com/kebanez1_1/gwj7a68in0dmxicq/wish/1779124741 The message from all the stories on what motivates people to do bad things is selfishness and greediness. They all showed a act of selfishness by using murder as an revenge instead of figuring out a better solution on how to fix things with one and other . They all also showed a act of greediness by not thinking of how others would feel by not having the person they murdered or how they would be without them and also just thought of themselves throughout the whole situation and did not care of their actions.

He didn’t want to listen to his wife when she warned him not to poison the whiskey. He also believed he could solve the robbery issue on his own instead of getting help from police. He even made every excuse he could to justify his actions because he really wanted to poison the thief.]]> 2021-09-29 19:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kebanez1_1/gwj7a68in0dmxicq/wish/1779131112 https://padlet.com/kebanez1_1/gwj7a68in0dmxicq/wish/1779137079 In my opinion i think vengeance pushes Patrick to dumb those tablets without taking consideration that this might be a person or animal but he's letting vengeance take over himself.-BM]]> 2021-09-29 19:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kebanez1_1/gwj7a68in0dmxicq/wish/1779137079 https://padlet.com/kebanez1_1/gwj7a68in0dmxicq/wish/1779139336 In the story Button Button, Norma was tempted by the offer but her greed and wanting for more led her to press the button. In Ruthless, Judson showed a vengeful spirit after hearing about his Bourbon being touched, and it led him to devise a plot to kill.

For Mary she was motivated by anger and because of that she killed her husband.

In the text Button Button, Norma decided that a wealthy life for herself was more important than some random person's life. Thinking about only yourself is both greedy and selfish, there is no other way to put it..
