“Are human beings inherently good or evil”. I think throughout the play there is a lot of evil. in this play it affected my view on the world and society because it made me realize even tough someone did something bad to you, does not mean you need revenge. When Prospero was sent to sea on the boat with his child, I do not think it was fair many years later for him to get revenge and make everyone think their children, family, and friends were dead. Although it was good when Prospero approved of his daughter to be with Fernand. This was good because it would bring peace back to everyone and let them be together after Fernand did all the work to please Prospero. This has affected my view on society because even though someone did something bad to you, you can always find a way for peace again, and in this situation, it is Fernand and Miranda

Racism In Canada
There are many examples within Canada that illustrate racism in Canadian society. Canada has always had racism in its past. We know this because Canada has struggled with residential schools, and the railroad. I didn’t think racism was as big as a problem now then it was then, till the current racist attacks have happened. Its still a current problem as we discovered the graves of the Younge indigenous children, in Ontario a Muslim family was taking a walk and were then later ran over by a truck because of there race, and a few years ago in Quebec someone shot up the Mosque. After reading in the heat of the night, it really opened my eyes on the topic of racism. Because of reading in the heat of the night, I have a better view of how racism affects many induvial. It affected my view, because racism is a sensitive topic and how people treat other people based of there skin is hurtful, not just on them but their families and their community. This book really made me realize that Virgil is a strong man when he experiences racism towards him and made me realize that some of the things said made me feel uncomfortable to have to hear and listen to. After reading this novel I can now see how much Canadian society is still struggling with racism in many ways.

Heat Of The Night: The Movie
My Movie
Character, Setting And Mood
In The Heat Of The Night is full of many clues for the reader to figure out what is going on within the novel. There were many examples within the novel, that helped me figure out what Bill Gillespie’s appearance may be. In the novel on page 11, where it describes his age and a few of his physical appearances. I determine the setting was in 1960-70s USA because in the book it gives us details about the racism and where its located. The swear words within the book show us that it takes place in a older era. The mood within the book shows anger, and lots of racism. It showed racism when many hurtful words are directed at Virgil. I used my critical thinking skills I was able to put together the puzzle the author left.
Core Competency Reflection
I show others that I truly value their contributions by making sure I take every ones ideas and that we included every ones ideas and information. I also make sure that before adding to the project that everyone agrees with what is being added.
I respectfully advocate for my needs by asking for help and seeking help when needed, I use my LEC block to get help, I talk to my group members on our group chat asking a question I may have, and asking the teacher in class and outside of class of any questions I may have about the project.
If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to see what the issue is and see if there’s a good solution we all agree on.
I notice when people feel left out, I make sure they feel included by asking them there onions on the project and there ideas for it.
