They believe that everyone should limit their own judgments to their own ethical egos. They determine how things should be done while only trying to progress their side or self-interest.

Trust is one of those things that are nice to have‚ but really is not needed. The statement “It is impossible to go through life without trust” by Graham Greene‚ may not be entirely correct. Our group disagrees with the statement. There are many times that trust just is not an option. A Streetcar Named Desire and The Crucible are a very good example of how an individual could be lacking trust. A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams shows how trust is not required in one’s life. The

Evaluating fiction is not based on which piece of literature is a better story‚ or was written by a more profound author‚ instead‚ literature can be loosely evaluated by two main judgments.

“In literature evil often triumphs but never conquers.” This means that in literature there is often a case where evil wins a battle but it never wins a war. This consensus seems reasonable because most books or movies the characters overcome the evil. This is especially true in the novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Evil may appear to be dominating‚ but in the end‚ good prevails. The major evil that Melinda‚ overcomes is that she has been raped. This is the main conflict of the story. This

“Vaulting ambition‚ which o’erleaps itself And falls on the other.” This means ambition can cause people to have desire to do things at a much faster rate. I agree with this statement because if a person has a reason for what they’re doing they tend to achieve their goals faster. However in the play Macbeth the main character Macbeth gave up his morals and beliefs to become king and receive the power which motivated him to do unreasonable things. When the three witches told Macbeth their prediction
