Under “responses” below, you will submit a lengthy response, at least two paragraphs (one for each text) that address the following:

Discuss the moral aspect of each story, and whether you find yourself judging a character in particular (and why, or why not).

Can you judge them and still sympathize with them?

Can you understand why they do what they do, but you feel that today things would happen differently? (Or that you personally would not do the same thing?)

If you have additional questions or comments about the stories, ask them here.
