"Who's fault is suicide?" is not an easy question. It's not the kind of question that can be wrapped up in a nice little neat package with a bow on top. I mean, you could argue that it is the fault of the parents because if the way they raised the victim, but parents, no matter how hard the try cant control everything there child comes into contact with. So you could say its the schools fault, but how can you expect a group of a hundred staff members to keep track if a thousand students. But you could blame the childs classmates and peers, but they are children, how are they supposed to understand what kind of affect they have on people. How about the media? That's right, blame the media! But wait, shouldn't the parents be aware of what there child is watching? And shouldnt the school be monitoring the computers?
See the question of who to blame is too complicated to be answered in most cases.
I liked the way you said "It's not the kind of question that can be wrapped up in a nice little neat package with a bow on top." It made me picture something so simple and easy to distinguish; something suicide is not. Though maybe write a little more on if it's even right to blame someone for suicide. Good use of questions and I liked how I could follow your thought process.
ReplyDeleteGood overall thoughts Jessie. I really enjoyed how you ended with a question that made the reader stop and think. To improve you may want to add more details and expand more on your original thoughts. You also may want to use a variety of senences. Good Job :)!
