"What Is A Life Worth?"

Good Morning!

 Please put your cell phones completely out of sight for the FULL duration of the class.  Please do not have me remind you of this. NOTE: Please bring a book to class vs. reading a book on your phone. 

“Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,  

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.  

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:  

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” 

                                                               Emma Lazarus 


"What Is A Life Worth?"  -- As we read this text together, I will pause at points for you to write a reflection in the margin. As we read the article, take note of the connections to the idea of valuing life and to what was previously said about valuing life by Shakespeare and Ebert.
