Ishmal a novel by Max Eckstein https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7 By:Max Eckstein en-us 2018-09-11 17:00:41 UTC 2025-12-10 10:46:09 UTC hello@padlet.com I think I agree with what he is saying in this novel but I do think humans have the ability to change. He is saying that there is not a huge difference between us and animals and sometimes we just destroy to destroy or kill to kill and a lot of us are greedy and don't think about others feelings. But I believe that some times with there right motivation or the right feeling or past experiences that people go through we can become more compashonite and we can also learn from other people and animals instead of taking. I think a lot of his writing had to do with his own experience and what he saw but now even from then I think a lot of people have grown with compassion and give more but I think that has also made more people more greedy and selfish so the world got more split as it got more caring and excepting. This just goes to show you how much the world can change in a short period of time and how different experiences and different views can shape someones opinion and how they act and what they want and the way they are towards people. This is what I think the book is telling and how I interpreted it. meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279982004 2018-09-11 17:03:25 UTC https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279982004 meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279992996 2018-09-11 17:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279992996 meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279993356 2018-09-11 17:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279993356 Human being meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279996416 2018-09-11 17:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279996416 meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279997145 2018-09-11 17:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279997145 meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279998492 2018-09-11 17:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/279998492 Humanity Video link: meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/280143632 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3281g2Ztz-U]]> 2018-09-12 00:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/280143632 article link meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/280143851 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/scientists-probe-human-nature-and-discover-we-are-good-after-all/]]> 2018-09-12 00:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/280143851 Quotes from book meckstein20 https://padlet.com/meckstein20/jpg8mqm0wqr7/wish/280144275 “We're not destroying the world because we're clumsy.
