Reaction Guide Determine whether you agree or disagree with the following statements:

Reaction Guide Having friends fulfill our basic needs. Mentally impaired people are worthless, and cannot function like regular people. People who are strong know their strength, and how much they can hurt other people if they wanted to. It is unnatural for people to have an attachment to, or feelings for, an animal. The purpose of life is to strive for, and eventually reach our goals and dreams. Killing another human being is intolerable, and should be punished.

Literary Guide Literary Terms we will discuss: Conflict Character and Characterization Plot Foreshadowing Symbols In addition, we will discuss grammatical concepts Parts of speech, patterns, sentence types, double negatives, correct punctuation of quotations
