On page 217 there is a story about a hunter who goes into a bush to kill a monkey. When the hunter was about to shoot the monkey it spoke "if you shoot me your mother dies; if you don't your father dies." Now in the page the question is asked what would you do? My question is pretty much the same: what would you do if you were the hunter ?

Group Discussion Response

Each week, one of your peers has posted a discussion topic for the book A Long Way Gone. The intention is that you respond thoughtfully to their question. After you respond, someone from the posting group is required to respond to you. Some of you have done this, most of you have not.

Today, all of you will take this time to respond thoughtfully to at least two of the posts from your own class or the other class. The group who posted the question should attempt to offer feedback to posters too. You can find the Discussion Topics to the right under Previous Posts. Click on the months to see older posts.

Be sure to put your name in your post, so I can give you credit for your work. This is an academic assignment, so write well. In other words "dnt txt ur thts. lol"
