Wrong is wrong even when love is involve. There was other ways that this situation could have been resolved. A person's life should not be terminated by the hands of someone else. But what we would have to understand is that this man loved his wife very much and couldn't stand to see her in that much pain, and would have done anything to comfort her.
But the fact still remains that its wrong. He probably didn't know the consequences of his actions. And with something so severe, he should have consulted a doctor and they could have discussed the issue and made a decision. A person that doesn't have a will to live is a very sketchy situation. Especially when it comes to loved ones, but to take another persons life is crazy.
That person might have been in pain where they felt they wanted to die, but it is hard to distinguish do they really mean it. Some people have overcome Alzheimer's Disease and don't let it ruin their lives. And plenty of them might have thought that they would feel better if they were died. But now they are stronger people because they live with Alzheimer's.
Gilbert should have waited and really thought about what he was doing. Because once someone is gone they can never come back. They are not going to be there to tell the jury that they told you to assist them with their death. She might have went through pain then, but could have survived with Alzheimer's and they could have been living a wonder life together. But now she is dead and he will spend the rest of his life in jail. And many people will say that's not fair, it doesn't have to be fair, its the law.
Or maybe he did know the consequences and thought that it was worth going to jail and not seeing his wife in severe pain anymore. Also his wife may not have known in full what she was actually asking her husband to do. And she said she felt embarrassed, did she think about how embarrassed he would have been if they found out what he did. Asking someone to kill you is hard for both parties and something that really should have been thought about. I don't think I would have done it.

At War With Ourselves
Prompt:http://litmuse.net/prompt_mailer
Im not real big on politics. And I remember exactly where I was when I first heard of the attack on the World Trade Center. I was in the hallway of my middle school, and one of my friends said that another student had to leave school early because his auntie was in the Towers when the plane hit it. To be honest, I didnt even know what the World Trade Center was until it was under attack. It was something that havent been taught to me yet. It wasnt until after the attack that I knew that America had enemies of that nature. Espically when I just left my Social Studies class and the instructor was telling me how great the United States is.
Mailer pointed out the fact that after 9/11, all of a sudden people became very patriotic and begun to wave the American flag everywhere. So after the attack, people looked for George Bush for an answer, and in return we went to war with the terrorists. And some where in the mist of the war, we started a war with Iraq. And all I can remember is people saying that they were against the war and they wanted Bush out of office. But obviously more people wanted him in office because he was reelected to serve a second time as our President. Either that or they were against Kerry and the gay people.
I dont see the purpose of everybody getting mad with Bush. I mean we were the people who put him in office 2 times. But when tragedy strikes, we arent satisfied with his judgement. We need someone to point the finger at, so why not the President. America has had two tragic incidents where the people of the United States were not happy with Bush's decisions, 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. And I do find it funny that the States all of a sudden became United after both tragedies occured. Terrorist didnt come and flood New Orleans, so the President's to blame. Mailer seem to think that we are at war because of terrorists. And I would have to agree. But deep down inside I tink it was an act of revenge. And that we really wanted to go to war and the attack on 9/11 just intiated thw whole thing. We are at war with terrorist, but we are more at war with ourselves.

Were Alligators the only Prey?
Prompt: http://litmuse.net/prompt_alligator
I would have to rate Ivan a 1. He had the must sense out of everybody in the story. By not getting involve in other people problems I have the most respect for him. I, myself would not get involved in anyone's else problems because its not none of my business. Even though she did go to him, he did the right thing by not getting involve.
The good ole boy Gregory gets a 2. He did nothing wrong in my opinion, and obviously he didnt love Abigail the way she loved him. He felt betrayed by Abigail, and any man would feel the same thing. Was he sleeping with women to try to see Abigail. No man wants a women who slept with another man for such a dumb reason. And after all that he still left her. Thats another sign he wasnt in to her the way she was into him.
Sinbad gets a rating of 3. Many might see his apporch as wrong, but you have to think Abigail was not forced to have sex with Sinbad. She choose to involve herself in intercourse with him. His morals may have been wrong, but he's not the one that deserves the 5.
I would have to rate Slug a 4. He was wrong for involving hisself in Abigail's wrong doing. Gregory did nothing wrong, and didnt deserve to be brutally assualted. I think he felt he had something to prove to Abigail, because he truly was in love with her. But could you really blame him if he was in love with Abigail, I mean she did sleep with another man to show her love.
And last but not least Abigail, she gets the 5. Even though many might see her intentions as being good, I see them as being selfish. Did she sit down and think about how Gregory would feel about the situation? And then have the nerve to tell him, how did she expect him to react. I would have did the same thing. And then her she devil came out in the end when she found it pleasurable when Slug beat up Gregory. This goes to show women will do anything to get their way.
