Due:
1. In the text, Billy doesn't participate in the murder of Tom Harper but he and others fail to stop it. Why do people do bad things or fail to stop bad things? How do you think you would have handled the situation if you witnessed this confrontation?
Answer the question using AT LEAST 5 complete sentences after reading paragraphs 11-18. Use your answer to share out during class discussion. Use the text or an example from real life as evidence.
After having heard people's answers and expanding on your own, revise your answer and reference a peers point or answer in your response.
For example:
I believe people do bad things or fail to stop bad things because they are afraid of what people might think of them or because they are going along with the crowd. I've been apart of situations where people just stand by and do nothing. For instance, I saw a man fall once in the subway and people walked right by him I think because in New York and on the subway especially, there's a mentality that you are on your own. I helped him up and he thanked me a lot and told me it happens to him all the time because he has a bad knee and people pass him all the time.
I like what Justin said about what he would do if he was there when Thad was killed. I would've called an ambulance or tried to help the bleeding from stopping, not just sit there and roll him over. Or, I would've stopped Tom and tried to reason with him, knowing that Thad is a drunk and unpredictable.
