Essential Question: Discuss the feeling that Alexa is having and connect the story to other fiction story.

Since the conversation of Alexa and Warvold. Alexa has been wondering if the stories told about the outside is true. The story of Alexa corresponds to the story of Rapunzel. Rapunzels "step mom" told her thats the outside is full of evil and nothing but darkness. This relate to Warvold as the "step mom" telling everybody that reason why build the wall is to protect everyone from evil. When Rapunzel finally left the tower, her emotions scrambled in fear and excitement. This connects to Alexa, reaching outside the wall was once in a lifetime opportunity. The two difference between the two characters were their emotions and ability to leave. The first difference is that Alexa only wanted to know what the whole truth about the outside, so her emotions and action is very initiative. She never think about the punishment and the consequences that she would receive if she get caught. Meanwhile, Rapunzel was very worried and happy when she left the tower.

Essential Question: Does the use of Animals for entertainment constitute animal cruelty.

Claim: These activities cause animals to suffer.
 
 
Reason: Circus animals are being forced to perform under sick condition. In the article The cruelest show on earth from SIRS, an Asian elephant bled during an important circus show in Jacksonville. His owner clearly knew that the elephant was sick and unabled to perform, however the owner  forced the poor elephant to perform anyways. Afterwards, an audience member who was a Veterinarian jumped in the stage and helped the elephant, instead of resting the elephant the owner chained him on a pole and forced it to stay there. Almost 99% of all circus animals lived there lives in caged and chains. This proves that circus acts are inhuman and should be stop.
