Justice vs. Revenge
Please participate in a quick lesson on PERSONIFICATION.
"The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury."
-Marcus Aurelius
"It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it; every complaint already contains revenge."
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am giving you the OPPORTUNITY to learn about personification without having to write down your answers. We can participate orally, BUT, if the discussion is chaotic, if people talk out of turn, or if the class is disengaged, we will have to write our answers... don't blow it!
I will be expecting you to include personification in the narratives we will be beginning tomorrow! (Detective story/Eerie tale).
