Thought Questions:

1) If you were away from home for  five years, would  you forget your old life? Is there a difference between moving on with your life and trying to escape your past?

A:I think that I might forget a little bit of it, but I think that I would remember most of it, I think that there is a difference between running away and moving on… running away is trying to get away from it and moving on is remembering it but not trying to escape it

2)What gives a slave or a bound person the right to run away?

A: I think that they kind of do, if the slave was treated badly then they might have a little right, but other than that I don’t think so

3)Is freedom a natural right?

A:I think that it is, because people should be able to do whatever they want to with their lives.

4)What causes your conscience to become dull or silent? Can you ever permanently quiet your conscience?

A:When your not worrying about what you’re doing, I don’t think that you can but I do think that you can shut it out sometimes
