For Crown or Colony: Part 3

Complete this writing prompt activity on a Google doc and share with me.

A CHILD DIES. Think about what you already know about the death of Christopher Seider.

Now imagine this similar, contemporary situation: a group of adults go to protest a dealership
that sells imported cars in your neighborhood. The protesters feel that when imports are made

available, fewer American cars will be sold, and so fewer American workers will have jobs.                 A group of boys you know from school passes by. It looks like fun, so they join the protest. An
angry man appears on the scene and yells at everyone to go home. The protesters hoot and boo
and ignore him, but some of the boys laugh and throw rocks at the man. His wife, who is with
him, gets hit. This angers him. He goes into a building. The boys throw rocks at the windows
and break them. Suddenly, the man appears at one of the windows, points a shotgun at the
crowd and fires. One of your schoolmates is shot, and he later dies.

A.   Think about this for a few minutes: Whose fault is it? The owner of the dealership? The
protesters? The group of boys? The angry man? The man’s wife? The boy who got
shot? Explain your reasoning. If you feel more than one person is at fault, explain your
thinking about that.

B.   Do you feel that a crime has been committed, or that this was just a terrible accident?
Explain why.

C.   If the person who died had been an adult, would this seem as sad? If it was a girl? If it
was a man in his nineties? Explain your reasoning.

Today, if you have finished Nat's second letter home and you have finished part 2, you may go on to part 3 Login .  When you are finished, you have a Jumbled word puzzle to complete.  When the Jumbled Word Puzzle is complete, play 2 of the Java Games (there are four games, do not play flash cards).  When you have beaten Crown or Colony Battleship on medium or hard, you may go back to For Crown or Colony and play parts 1,2, or 3 (if you make different decisions, you can change the story!) but do not play part 4.
