Today we'll begin in the groups we worked with yesterday. Your task is to brainstorm as many movies, books, or popular stories you can think of that contain the concept of revenge. List these in your Writer's Notebook. As you list them, discuss how the text treats the idea of revenge. Is it noble? Heroic? Wrong? Looked down on? Talk about the ending with your group members.
Next, we'll complete a Writer's Notebook entry on this concept. See the prompt below:
#9 Revenge
Based on the conversations you've had with your group members and your own understanding of this concept, how would you describe the way our culture feels about revenge? Use examples from your list to support your claims. Finally, how do you feel about a "hero" who takes revenge on an enemy. Do you still consider them a hero? Are some circumstances different than others? Explain.
