It is of prime importance that you learn early what you want to do and whether or not the world needs this service. The return from your work must be the satisfaction that work brings you and the world's need of that work. Income is not money, it is satisfaction; it is creation; it is beauty."- W.E.B. Du Bois

your response to the claim to weaken their argument and strengthen your own.

Some may argue that the final should be waived because Students have worked hard all year. On the other hand, although the students have worked hard, the finale exam's purpose is to prove and show the academic progress students have made. Therefore, to waive the final would be to get rid of the opportunity to show student growth and mastery of the content they have been working towards all year.

On YOUR POST IT:

Who is responsible for Macbeth's downfall: his own ambition or others' influence, and why?
