hypothesized that because he was already so close to death, they should kill him to preserve their own lives. They also did not believe they would be rescued. I said I was quite confident that they were not morally justified in killing him. I thought they probably could have found a way to catch fish to feed themselves, as they were stranded in the ocean. I also believe that because the boy was very weak, and possibly not in his right mind, he could not have consented. In this case, it wasn’t divulged whether

Joon-ho, I will argue that the concepts used throughout are of those similar to the Marxist concepts and ideologies we read and talked about in class. In the film, the whole world has been frozen over after an experiment to counteract global warming goes terribly wrong. Only the few who are able to get on board the Snowpiercer, an invincible train invented by a man named Wilford, are able to survive.

response to the reading I found myself open minded to the stereotypical episodes of what a black man goes through. Personally, I found it difficult to relate to because I’m not black or a big man. I can however, imagine through the words of the author what he was feeling as well as what others (victims) were feeling. Then I somehow, found myself recalling times that I too had displayed worry when coming down a dark street, at a club, or even in an empty train cart that would have me alone

to the train station, to see what was in the locker. On their way there, Gardo started acting differently. This part proves my thesis because if Gardo chose not to go the train station, then he wouldn’t have these feeling. Since he chose to come, he was acting all differently, and was freaking out. I think if Gardo was coming to the train station for a different reason like buying a water bottle, then he wouldn’t have felt that way.
