Myths+of+Destruction

You've just finished reading about some serious destruction. Some interesting characters, no? Here's the great part: discussion!

Via WikiDiscussion, I'd like you to share your thoughts about the chapter. These can be (but are not limited to):
 * reactions,
 * questions,
 * frustrations,
 * epiphanies,
 * theories,
 * diatribes (vocab word!)

The best part is, no one can interrupt you!!! You are free to type as long as you want about whatever you want (within reason, of course...and tied to the stories, of course). AND when you're done, you can check out your classmates' responses and in turn respond to //their// ideas. Pure. genius.

**OUR GOAL:** Make our own meaning regarding the chapter by
 * Offering ideas and reactions we have.
 * Questioning and challenging those ideas/reactions
 * Synthesizing information to create new ideas and theories.
 * Continuing the process forever! Woo!

**__Therefore, your assignment is to__**
 * 1) compose **your responses** and post them __**on the Discussion page**__ following the instructions on the "Discussion Expectations" page
 * 2) Complete the "REQUIRED" topic indicated, and then you can either respond to two of the posted topics **OR** create one of your own. It should tie to the concept of hubris and the myths in some way, however. (Read: "Who's the greatest Star Wars character?" as a topic doesn't count!!)
 * 3) Read **at least two classmates' responses** and respond, __thoughtfully__ to what they have to say.

For all responses, please remember to include:
 * correctly cited quotation(s) for support,
 * and a counterargument (since strong persuasive arguments always do!)

In an attempt to preempt disaster, if that's possible, here are some examples of responses that do not count:
 * One last note...**
 * "Oh wow, that's a great comment, Joe. I agree. What happened in AP US yesterday? I fell asleep..."
 * "Yeah."
 * Anything that screams, "I didn't read this chapter, so I'll just pretend by agreeing with everyone..."

**__Remember__**  This is a chance to type whatever your reactions are...and respond to those around you. Proper lingo is not required, but note that I can see all of these, as can your parents, the principal, the Pope...rilla, rilla important people, basically. So have fun, but be smart. And nice. And insightful.

Think. Engage. Learn. Enjoy.
