No, actually he says some thing along the lines of, "War is like a new boss that demands three times the work and doesn't bother to thank you for your efforts."

I think that it is similar to America, but we definitely are not as much nationalistic as Nazi Germany.

I like how you used Liesel and Hans as two of the main points of morality. It is true that what they do throughout the book can be viewed as immoral, but I like how you say they are justified. I think you could have mentioned the Nazis a little more, as they are pretty much the most immoral thing in the book. For the most part, you raised good points and were able to support them with evidence from the book. Good post!
To Cody Davey
Right at the beginning I liked the quote from Winston Churchill. It grabbed my attention and was very relevant considering he was a very influential figure at the time. I really liked how you raised the point that people twist their morals to fit their lifestyles. One thing I disagree with is that you said the people only felt justified in killing during combat, but what about the mass murder of Jews? I think you could have mentioned that a little more to clarify. 
To Mariah McKenna
I really liked the points you raised with the three major characters, especially what you said about Hans. He was very compassionate and selfless throughout the book. You also had good supporting evidence from the book. One thing you could have improved was your conclusion.
To Daniel Justice
I liked the questions that you raised at the beginning, you could easily relate them to things that occurred in the novel. I also like what you said about being willing to die for your country. I think that a lot of people say they would die for their country, but sometimes I wonder if they really would when put in the situation. I like to think that I would, but if the situation presented itself I think I might not have the courage. You raised good points and provided evidence to support it. Good post
To Chris Cummings
I thought this post was excellent Chris. You never got sidetracked and you kept to the form of a persuasive essay. You had a good introduction and a strong conclusion. Also you provided good quotes and were able to provide support for each example. I also like how you chose a book that was very different from the social norm just like Antigone. Other than a few grammatical errors, I thought this post was great. Good job Chris
