  1. Basically don't do anything to offend or degrade people you don't know how things will affect others.

  2. You should be allowed to say anything you want, but you should have the decency to notice when saying a certain thing is appropriate or not.

  3. There are many boundaries in the book Daniel half human. Including the facts that you are not aloud to be a Jew in general or you will become an outcast, and considered a freak of nature that is below the human race.

  5. There are no boundaries as long as you are willing to accept the consequences of your actions.

    Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

    1. The only reason these rules now apply, (however ridiculous they may be), is to keep America in the future safe. But yes, I agree somewhat with your point.

    2. it will cause america to become too overprotective. when they ban french fries like in the book, thats when im moving to the bahamas

    3. Yes, it will, but people hopefully are more rational in the future. Even though it is true these new rules will weaken America in future wars.

    4. Mitchell, french fries will never be illegal. It's a free country.

  8. True we do have to free speech but just don't be a jerk about it. Don't go around saying your race is better because you will probably get killed. So just be sensible about what comes out of your mouth so you don't get your face smashed in. Like that dude Ryan in the book Walker's Crossing he figured out that you can't go around yelling at other races because his brother Gil did it and he shot a plane,killed a guy, and got arrested. That what will happen if you hate other races.

    1. but, what boundaries? Would getting killed be a good consequence for doing what you believe in?
      Is it really worth it?

      Delete
    2. Why? All the races would get really mad at each other and hate each other. Some boundaries need to be broken but the idea of not saying bad things about other races does not need to be broken.

    3. If its truly what you believe it and its for a good cause you should be willing to give your life for it

      Delete
    4. Why is race getting involved in these discussions so often?

  10. In The Giver, Jonas is denied his rights of feelings and freedom. 'Tis not the way to live, you see. You need to be able to speak freely. I know, I know, I got rhyme.

  11. You should be able to say anything... I mean we are supposed to be a "Free Country" right??? But actions should be limited so no harm can be afflicted to another human or animal. People should be able to call themselves 'FREE' though.

  12. I think everyone should just think before they speak. If what you're about to say is questionable, then you probably shouldn't say it.

    1. So true! but not everyone has common sense. The name common sense is kinda misleading because it doesn't seem to be very common

    2. Nice, short and sweet! No i was not talking about you Josh.

  14. Boundaries are to keep people in line, and to make sure people don't go to far or to do something that isn't appropriate at the time. They are made so that people won't regret and will effect them later in life or will effect their relationship with another person.

  15. In To Kill A Mockingbird, there haven't been many boundaries so far. One boundary though is that when Scout insults Walter unintentionally, she has to face Calpurnia's consequences for her actions. Also, Scout is a natural reader, who learned to read on her own before she attended school. Her teacher, Ms. Caroline, is convinced that her father has been teaching her and that he has been teaching her "the wrong way." Scout is scolded and hit for denying that her father teaches her. Ms. Caroline insists that they will try to "undo the damage" when in fact, Scout is just a gifted natural reader.
