Performance Review

Name: Michael Obi
Job: Headmaster
Assessment: Mr. Obi's enthusiasm is through the roof which is great! His skills in communication and compromise with the village people is poor. The maintenance of the school is atrocious it looks like a a tornado came whirling threw here. 

I would give him one more chance but if he messes up again he is gone.

Civil Peace

1. After reading the story i think after everything that has happened to Jonathan he still has an optimistic outlook on life.
         - Jonathan acquires his money from taxiing people to the closest tared road.
         - Jonathan's money gets stolen by thieves

3. Jonathan has an optimistic outlook on life. Even after he lost one child, encounter thieves, and gets his money stolen, he's just thankful that he has most of his family, and a room over their heads.

4. "Nothing puzzles God" means that things may happen and you don't understand why but God knows why it happened,

5. After the war, ordinary citizens are left with nothing, no jobs, no money and if they have money it will more than likely be stolen by thieves,and no house.

8. I think Jonathan was just happy to be alive and have as much as he did in the end of the war. Most people would be gratful for what he had in the end.

Dead Men's Path

1. I predict that Michael Obi will be fired after the supervisor files his report.
        -the path through the school grounds lets the dead depart by it and ancestors visit us by it, its also the path of children coming in to be born.
        -the school grounds are vandalized after Obi refuses to reopen the path.

2. I think the villagers were justified in doing what they did because they thought that path was how their village stayed connected to their lost loved ones and for the future children to go into the village.

6. I think that if that young woman didn't die the school grounds wouldn't have been vandalized.

7. "let the hawk perch and let the eagle perch" the school headmaster should let the villagers keep their foot path even though he doesn't believe in its relevance.

Ramayana

1. My reaction to the battle between Rama and Ravana was surprised. I was surprised because of the way Rama fought in the battle, he was very level headed, and he wanted to have a fair fight with Ravana, unlike Achilles from the Iliad.
        -Rama only used his bow and arrows to protect himself from in the battle and Ravana used every possible weapon he had. He used a trident, "maya", "thama"
        -Rama defeated Ravana with a weapon called the "Brahmasthra"
        -Rama treats Ravana with respect after he kills him

2. I believe Rama was able to Beat Ravana (even though Ravana had the advantage of 20 arms and 10 heads) because he was level headed throughout the battle and made smart decisions.

4. Rama's heroic code is to let his opponent have a fair fighting chance. He would never stab someone in the back as their retreating, he would want to fight the person face to face.

5. I don't think Ravana is heroic because he lacks certain qualities i believe hero's should have. Would not fight honorablely, if he got the chance he would stab Rama in the back, but Rama would want Ravana to have a fair chance.
