Juan, you have been blessed with the sneeze of a giant, no offense, and it keeps me alert in Mr. McCarthy's class, so thank you. Alejandro, thank you for adding your personality into the class, you give the class a new personality which I enjoy. Thank you Andy for your perspective of literature which helps take it to my understanding. Thank you Rivka for having a great understanding of literature to help me achieve a greater understanding of American Literature. Thank you Sally for bringing alternative ideas about the literature we are reading to give me an alternative point of view to see literature from. Finally, Thank you to the rest of Mr. McCarthy's first period English II class for being there so Mr. McCarthy has a class to teach. I am thankful for you all. Have a happy Thanksgiving, but you are probably reading this after Thanksgiving anyways. . .

principles we should keep

One of the principles we should preserve, today to post-apocalyptic time, is theft to be morally wrong. The concept to steal from another human being is unjust. Even in post apocalyptic times, theft is wrong because you are taking things another person could have spent countless hours working to obtain. Theft should remain immorally wrong no matter the circumstances. Thieves harm the people they steal from and possibly others connected to that person. There is the natural law of Self Preservation but we as a species have evolved intellectually and morally to understand that theft is wrong and should not be accepted, under all if not most circumstances.
