Shiloh Chapter 4-7

In chapters 4-7 in Shiloh Marty lies to his friends and family so that he can protect Shiloh from Judd Travers. Answer the following opinion questions.

1. Is it ever OK for people to lie?

2. Is Marty doing the right thing by lying, or is he making things worse?

3. If Shiloh could talk, what would he tell Marty?

4. If SHiloh could talk, what would he tell Judd?

5. Is it OK for Judd to abuse his dogs because he was aboused by his father? Why or why not?

If there is time, read someone a friend's post and respond to them (I also agree because... No, I don't agree because...) and post it in Shiloh Student Response.
