"The Lady, or the Tiger?" Before You Read: Choice

"The Lady, or the Tiger?" begins with a description of a "semi-barbaric" king who rules his kingdom with a heavy hand. For punishing criminals, he has built an arena featuring two doors. The criminal must choose his own fate by selecting one of the two closed doors. Behind one door is a hungry tiger that will eat the prisoner alive. Behind the other door is a beautiful lady, hand-picked by the king, who will be married to the accused on the spot. The people of the kingdom like this system of justice, because the uncertainty of the situation is very entertaining.

    You still need to remove your picture from your blog!

    Moreover, I am unsure of which assignment this is. The directions for this homework for this date were to think of a time when you had to make a choice between something that was good for you and something that was good for someone you cared about. What happened? How do you feel about your decision?
