Laramie Project
Laramie Project reading questions Act III:
26. That because he was a homosexual, Shepard was going to become a “poster boy” for the gay lifestyle. The fact that this murder outshone the other murders that occurred during the years, and because it involved a homosexual caused uproar during the time of the murder. 27. To have many people dress up as angels with large wings and encircle Phelps in a non-violent act of compassion. To not utter a word, and just keep a blockade of peace and compassion, opting to call it “Angel Action”. 28. With uneasiness and nervousness.

Someone can only contain their guilt over doing something for so long. Henderson probably was at his max. Taking the life of someone causes a lot of psychological and emotional stress to the one who does it, and Henderson probably finally met his wits end. 30. He is excommunicated. Though his home teacher does not desert him entirely. 31. They aren’t affected, they remain firm that homosexuality is a sin. But after his comment of them remaining uncaring as he played a murderer onstage, they see the difference. 32. After the incident, however DeBree’s ideals change. Believing that no one in America should live in fear, as no one has the right to live in fear in America. Due to his standing as an officer of the law, seeing the terror of the people who he swore to protect made him see the horror of fear that they lived in on a daily basis. 33. Personally I don’t think the death penalty would be the correct means to act. An eye for an eye makes the world blind, and this would only cause what Shepard martyred for to be destroyed. 34. Kind of sort of. She seems very nonchalant even after the trial, so I don’t really know. And I don’t
