PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!! GIVING CROWN

Journal – extended response (At least 10 sentences!)

Holling is horribly humiliated by the exposure by Doug Swieteck’s brother throughout the school. Consider the conversation he has with Mrs. Baker. What do you think she knows that he doesn’t know? Why? Will he learn a lesson from this?

Answer:In "January" of Gary Schmidt's The Wednesday Wars, one thing Mrs. Baker knows that Holling doesn't is Shakespeare is using Macbeth to say "something about what it means to be a human being." One of Mrs. Baker's most important statements of what Shakespeare is trying to teach, a statement that shapes the major theme of the chapter, is the following: ... And that compared with love, malice is a small and petty thing. ("January") At first Holling disagrees with her. He fails to see how malice, meaning the urge to intentionally hurt someone, can be such a "petty thing" since he has just been publicly humiliated by Doug Swieteck's brother, who plastered the town.
