The Worst and the Best

Although the “Charge of the Light Brigade” was not necessarily bad, it did not seem to serve much of a point as we did not talk much about the people involved in the charge and their stories. I was just not that interesting to me. Although the poem was about men dying heroically for their country it just did not go far enough into the back story. “The Body Snatcher” was a very interesting story which made us question our moral character, and made us think as to why one would trade their conscience for money. Fetes was in a situation in which he was basically forced to do what he did, but he could have blown the whistle and got these people arrested before anyone else’s corpse had to be violated and before other people had to die and he could have kept his conscience intact. Later on his conscience kicks in and he feels completely guilty later becoming an alcoholic to cope with his bad deeds. Bad deeds come back to haunt us all and all we can do is suppress them with different activities. Not to be dark and gloom, but yeah…
