Helping People Out - The Underdogs

Example 1) Alma 55 (410) –Character- A midst an ongoing war, a people is trying to catch there enemy in a snare by offering them something that will cause them harm. The people decides to not partake and to remember their moral values. Instead of falling for new tricks, they remember their old ways and the ways of their family/faith.

Example 2) Alma 56 (414) –PLOT- A team/group of young people have been taught by moral families from a young age and now face a dilemma. Their families and lifestyle are being threatened and they must defend that lifestyle that they loved so much. They are given the opportunity to stand up and defend what they believe in because those that taught them were unable to. They stood up for the defenseless.

Example 3) Alma 56 (415)-Plot- A team of young people come to fight against the best in the land. These underdogs find a way to do the unthinkable. Despite the odds, these young people won their battle and none of them were killed.

Example 4) Alma 61 (428)-Dialoge- a man is writing to an old friend with contempt and anger. He is deeply upset that there has been a great deal of unethical choices being made in a management position of the old friend. Despite any prior positive feelings, the man threatens the other and tells him to fix things and to do it quick. The old friend responds. He does so in a refined way, not fueling the fire but simple acting in an impressive amount of understanding. He chooses to not get offended even though it was the others fault.

 

Reviewing a Fellow Students Blog Post

I thought of the blog post My Mothers Hands by Hailey. In example 2, the young people were taught and most have observed their parents, especially their mothers. They were so moved by what their mothers taught them, they decided to stand up and defend what their mothers and fathers believed and taught them. The young people’s parents had many years of even disheartening experiences. They were fighters that have changed their ways. They learned from their past and so will the young sons. Hailey shows a similar type of love and respect for her mother, seeing her past and present and learning from her.

I thought Jeremy's blog post entitled ‘Helping Those Who Can’tCare For Themselves’ fits really well with my examples number 2 and 3. This is a story where people are fighting for those that cannot help themselves.
