Discussion

Hello, class!

This time, I´d like us to do something different. Here´s something that I´d like you to discuss in the comments in this post:

When Stanley writes to his mother, he says that the hard work (digging holes under the hot sun) is "building character" (making him a better person). Is this true? We know that Stanley is becoming stronger, and he is learning to work hard. But is it making him a better person? Leave your opinion in the comments. Remember to agree and disagree with your classmates too!

See you next week,

Miss Ale
