Week 2 Discussion

Part 1: Read "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell and "Empathy is Actually a Choice".

Write one paragraph answering the following questions: How does the idea of empathy relate to Orwell's story? What did you think about both pieces of writing? How could Orwell have avoided the outcome of his story? Do you believe people can choose to have empathy or is it something that is innate in each person? How will you use both of these pieces in your Introduction essay?

Next, view (or review) the Writing Process Lesson. Write a second paragraph summarizing the lesson and restating any new information you learned.

Part 2: Respond to at least two of your classmate's postings. Write in complete sentences.
