Which is the stronger emotion: love or jealousy? Do you think love or jealousy is a stronger emotion for the princess? Why?
I think that love is the stronger emotion. If you really loved someone, would you want them to die just because you couldn't have them and someone else could? Probably not. You would want whats best for them and whatever their decision you respect.
"Which?"
He is signaling her to give him a hint of which one is the safe choice.
What are some characteristics of the princess?
She seems barbaric from what the story tells us, but I think that on the inside she can be a good person and help her lover, even though she might never see him again.
this fair creature throwing glances of admiration upon the person of her lover, and sometimes she thought these glances were perceived, and even returned.
She thought that the other girl was trying to steal her mans.
No wonder the princess loved him!
They are saying she only loved him for his looks?
CONFLICT: What is the young man accused of?
Loving the kings daughter, which apparently is a crime to him.
never before had a subject dared to love the daughter of the king
Why is that such a crime? She should be able to love someone🥺🥺
she was the apple of his eye
He loved her a lot.
Think about entertainment as a method of control in The Hunger Games. How does the king’s method of administering justice relate?
They both aren't really fair. For in the Hunger Games, you are chosen randomly. In this, you are accused of a crime you may have not commited.
How might schadenfreude play a role in the king’s method of administering justice?
Maybe he has schadenfreude when he watches his subjects pick which door and gets excited.
Is the king’s method of administering justice fair?
I don't think so because in a real court you could explain that you did/didn't commit it, and possibly win, but here there is not really any fairness.

we have that at gcds!👏👏👏
Change it to stepfather,
Yessss
But you can say what colour she was."
Color? What is that supposed to mean?
"There was once a girl who was a little overweight and whose front teeth stuck out, who-""I don't think it's nice to make fun of people's appearances. Plus, you're encouraging anorexia."
This is a real problem in today's society and they are pointing it out!!
"There was once a middle-class girl, as beautiful as she was good-
Hah. They had to change it because she didn't like the word "poor"
poor."
Hmmm, because she doesn't like how they are describing her?
I felt that I must scream or die!
Is the person going crazy because of what they had done?
the deed so far done.
She wanted him to die
I did not move a muscle
Hyperbole
I killed him
Why did the protagonist kill him?
For his gold I had no desire.
What does that mean?
it haunted me day and night.
Why?
She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.
A day ago she didn't want life to be long, but now that is all she wants
sometimes
Why only sometimes?
She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death;
Sad :''''((((((
But she felt it, creeping out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the scents, the color that filled the air.
What does the author mean by this?
When the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone
she is so sad that she cannot even see anyone; she needs to be alone
"To the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive Tendencies."
They think he is crazy because he wanted to get fresh air?
there was no one in the front seat, no one in the car at all.
Some sort of automated self driving police car?
"Don't speak unless you're spoken to!"
Hmmm... dystopisa?
The police, of course, but what a rare, incredible thing; in a city of three million, there was only one police car left, wasn't that correct? Ever since a year ago, 2052, the election year, the force had been cut down from three cars to one. Crime was ebbing; there was no need now for the police, save for this one lone car wandering and wandering the empty streets.
Utopia or Dystopia?
And you have a viewing screen in your house to see with?"
What is that supposed to mean?
Magazines and books didn't sell any more.
Will this happen in the future? 📚Maybe some foreshadowing?

And on his way he would see the cottages and homes with their dark windows, and it was not unequal to walking through a graveyard where only the faintest glimmers of firefly light appeared in flickers behind the windows
