Responses to the Parable
I think that the bat was just going to be used and he did the right thing. He didn't belong to either group and he didn't change either.
You need to figure out who you are to find your place in the world. You need to belong to a group and have friends to be respected.
The bat pretty much doesn't want to pick sides. He doesn't want to get involved if it will end badly. It's just like being racist-- don't put other people down. It won't end well.
I feel bad for the bad because he isn't a bird or a beast so he can't join either group. He doesn't have friends because he isn't either one. Lying gets you nowhere. If you're not one of two things then you don't have friends.
I think the bat did good and that he should go find his own group of bats to hang with.
I guess that relates to what's happening lately in our school.
It's sort of amusing in some ways, but also depressing.
The bat should've stayed neutral and then neither of the groups would've been mean to him. If he wouldn't have said anything to either group he could have had more friends. The bat should just find his own friends and leave the birds and beasts alone.
I think it's saying that if you're not like anyone else you're a lone ranger... you try to fit in but you're always a little different.
I believe that this could be like many real life situations. I think that if something is going to happen and someone doesn't pick a side they will be abandoned.
It's obviously about being different and not fitting in, but I think the moral of the story is that just because you're different people shouldn't hate you or shun you. Accept those for who they are-- don't hate them for what they look like. I feel bad for the bat.

Update on Yesterday
PA: Began vocab posters...
12ers: Story maps for action/suspense. Finish novel, fill out map, and start planning your own story!
FW: Read 3.1 and 3.2 of The Tempest and begin filling out the packet! I don't know if our discussion went anywhere or not...
Study Hall: Let's just focus on NOT using racial slurs. Words don't simply mean whatever you decide they mean... historical context is important.
SS: Theme, Symbolism, and Irony in The Birthmark. Make sure you know your definitions for the "pop" quiz tomorrow. Haha Carver.
Crew: Essay responses due at the beginning of class on Monday for GM. Let's focus less on hiring/becomming assassins... and more on analyzing literature (although it WAS interesting, it was less than productive).
HUNGER GAMES anyone?

Hour 2: What happened to the two missing posters? So weird that large pieces of tagboard can go missing in this classroom.
| The Bat, the Birds, and the Beasts |
A GREAT conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts. When the two armies were collected together the Bat hesitated which to join. The Birds that passed his perch said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Beast.” Later on, some Beasts who were passing underneath him looked up and said: “Come with us”; but he said: “I am a Bird.” Luckily at the last moment peace was made, and no battle took place, so the Bat came to the Birds and wished to join in the rejoicings, but they all turned against him and he had to fly away. He then went to the Beasts, but soon had to beat a retreat, or else they would have torn him to pieces. “Ah,” said the Bat, “I see now,
