\n
\n2. i think the cure is wrong, people should not have to have a proceedure to take away strong emotions just because it makes them different. i mean if someone really wants the cure they could have it but people shouldnt be messing with other peoples emotions.

This society has both good and bad things to it. Like, everyone loves to feel good, but no one likes to be miserable. Living in there society would cause you to never feel sad again, but at the cost of never loving again, never being able to be happy. Nothing is worth that much, at least to me the good out ways the bad every time and i'm willing to put up with the crap to get to the good.
\n
\n2.) I think that if you didn't want it done it shouldn't be forced on you and you shouldn't be looked down upon for it but in a society where the government control's you emotion its almost pointless.
\n
\n3.) She will i can tell the only thing that can change her opinion is Alex because she will come to love him and understand that its not a disease.","dateCreated":"1335788937","smartDate":"Apr 30, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"BlanchardJe","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/BlanchardJe","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"53559266","body":"1.) I think their society can be considered both good and bad just like mainly any other society. Personally i wouldnt ever want to live in the society they do because i feel that in order to live a happy life you need to have emotions, but its not like they have a choice to live in the society that they do.
\n2.) To me yes i think its immorale. As i said in my answer to question 1 i think that in order to be happy throughout your life you need emotions and to just take that away from people is wrong. Your emotions can get you into a lot of trouble throughout your life but without them i dont think that living would be half the adventure that it is. And to me i do think it would be better if it was voluntary because then people have a choice and arent forced to do something they might not want to.
\n3.) i think that Lena will change her opinion on getting the cure because the power of true love is reqally strong and if thats what is between her Alex then she will most likely decide on not getting the cure. The thing that i think will "spark" the change is when Lena truly finds that she is in love with Alex.","dateCreated":"1335788938","smartDate":"Apr 30, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"ZackButler1","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ZackButler1","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]},{"id":"53462696","dateCreated":"1335530391","smartDate":"Apr 27, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"beckerbr","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/beckerbr","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/bowenlitcircles.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/53462696"},"dateDigested":1532144479,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"group 1 ","description":"1. the setting is based in a goverment controled town called portland. people can't say or do what they want its all controled by the goverment and the book of shh.

\n3. one conflict that has happened so far is that during her evaluation for the cure she messes up one of her by saying romeo and juliet is beautiful. then cows go running into her room, and her evaluation is rescheudaled. another conflict is that she meets the boy she saw in the observatory deck while on a run and he claims to not have been there when seh can clearly remember him.
