SKeTcHy 1 / - Jan 25, 2009 #1As human beings we feel a sense of responsibilty for the people around us. We can demonstrate this responsibilty with different types of support: emotional, financial, legal, etc. We cannot support everyone all the time, so the question is: Basked on the works we have read..-Farenheit 451-Can't Get There From Here-Inherit the Wind-Night"Harrison Bergeron"A Kind of Murder""Sucker"to what extent are we, as individuals and/or as a community responsible for other groups of people? Where does that responsibility start and where does it end? How much is too little? How much is too much? Chooke examples from 3 of the works we have read to support your thesis.[U]You don't need to compare to the books/stories if you haven't read them just tell me what you think and make it sound smart.

EF_Kevin 8 / 13,321 129 Jan 26, 2009 #2Through these stories, authors indirectly make observations about whether or not we are "our brothers' keepers," So as you read them, collect all the good stuff! Type a sentence for each time an author makes a subtle statement about what is right and wrong with regard to being responsible for others...When you have that list, write up the essay! You will see that a central theme emerges based on your collection, so that will be your theme. Write something brilliant and inspired! :)
