  1. this say that if we would do and eye for an eye and everybody did it that everyone would be blind.

    this means that if something happened and somebody was to retaliate then most likely everything would go wrong.Meaning if everybody says that if he shoot me im gone shoot him eventually everyone will be hurt or dead.

    This matters because the way that things are done or handle in life are not turning out so well. We might be in the wrong situation at the wrong time and then the out come of the situation might not go to well such as the saying an eye for an eye and the whole world would be blind, people take that in different ways and different understandings. I can tie this quote into real life by saying that this quote is only good if the way you put it is good or its brought into a good situation.

  2. It says that it's not OK to go back and forth.
    It means that it's no reason to fight. If we fight there will be no one left in the world.
    You can apply this to your life by solving problems differently .If you go bask and fourth with someone nothing will get solved. Going back and fourth will only hurt people and it wont solve any problems.That's why this statement matters.

  3. This says that if I get you you can get me back but there was no point to it because we going to loose and have nothing. This means that if someone hits you you can get them back but the more you do that its going to be useless. you wont get nothing good from violence or bad things. This matters because revenge isn't all the things in the world. You have to deal with problems or else your going to be gone in a blink of an eye. Just learn to forgive and forget and also not do bad things to people or karma is going to get you back.

  4. 1.) I think it says that if you keep getting revenge that will not in nothing. 2.) It means that if everybody keeps plucking out eyes the whole world would be blind. That by getting revenge you cold end the world. 3.) It matters to my life because sometimes i be wanting to get revenge on people but i know that it wont help in nothing. Also, that you need to stop all violence or else everybody is going to want to kill each other just for payback. Instead of getting revenge on each other we suppose to love and respect each other and get all the violence off our mind so this world could be peaceful and safe.

  5. 1.The quote says that basically if somebody does wrong to you and you don't let it go an you have an urge to get them back then, eventually its going to keep happening and everybody in the world will have some kind of vengeance.

    2.The quote means that sometimes you just have to let things go. And, that two wrongs don't make a right. And, if we all don't see that then the world will become an even more messed up place.

    3.This applies to my life because I always want to seek vengeance on somebody that does wrong to me or my loved ones. I just cant stand for it to go by and for people to think that they can get away with something so easily. Especially when they have done something to someone who is innocent. And, basically that is how I was taught when I was growing up. If somebody does something wrong to you or they harm you then you just harm them 10x harder.

  6. It says "An eye for an eye, and the whole world would be blind."
    This means like you have the right to return something.If someone slap you, you have the right to slap them back.This also can mean like i had your back and i need you to have mine.
    This matters because you actually have rights, but the wrong side of it is that, if you go around poking everybody eyes there will be no sight. It will be a blind disaster.
    I Can apply this to my life because if someone was to lay their hands on me i`m going to put them to there graves.Ima drop ma hands, forget laying them.

  7. 1.This quote says that an eye for an eye and its going to keep going like that, until they are blind.

    2.This means that when somebody does something bad to you, you want to do the same them. This doesn't end until someone gets hurt.

    3.This matters because its true. Most people when someone does something bad to them they want to do the same to them. And they don't stop until somebody gets hurt. This just causes problems.
    I can apply this to my life by doing it but only when its like self defense. But when someone just hits you whats the point of hitting them back if they are going to hit you again. This is the reason why there is a lot of violence in the world people want to take revenge on each other.

  8. This say llikeee somethhing llike eye for an eye mean like i guesss if one person see something but if two people better thats what i thinkk it say if i wouldof seen this iwould think it say that

    _I think this mean like ummm if you do something wrong ts gin to come back on you like an exampl if somebody hit you you goin to hit them back i think ths the same thing but its just an eye for an eye

    _This matter because this is life and it apply to life its just a message for life in short words its just saying if you do something wron g its going to come back on you.

    but i think this saying can mean more then one thing because when i read t i did not think it was what the teacher said but kno i kno what it mean and life and im going to started using this saying it mean alot in life

  9. 1]I think it is say to attacking on another there is going to be nothing at the end.

    2]That people will attack people until there's no one felt to kill. That there are more than killing a person to solve a problem.

    3]It matters because at the end there might be nobody around because of one person gets shot or beat up.I can apply this to my life by not doing that. Solve your problem another way not just killing people just because they killed one of your solders or friends.And some times it does not work out some times.

  10. it says that it`s not OK to go back and forth it means that it`s no reason to fight. if we fight there will be no one left in the world.
    you can apply this to your life by solving problems differently. if you go back and forth you will end up being nobody in life you gonna end up getting shot or kill.because you are causing too many problems in your own life you are bringing the problems to yourself.
    it matters because you have to know how to solve problems yourself.

  11. 1.This quote is saying if someone do something to me than i'm going to do something back. If we keep it up then other people will be involve and we all just gone be hurt in the situation.

    2.If I poke out some ones eye and they poke mines out then it's going to keep continuing. Eventually if it keeps up then every one will be blind. No one in the world will be left to see with the violence going on.

    3.With the gang violence going on someone shoots some one else then they homies and family gets involve. Next thing you know they after that person and killed him or her then they family and hood people after the family and gang that killed they relative or homie. Once that happen then it's never going to stop so basically everyone gone end up dead or hurt in the situatuon.

  12. I think that this say if you do something to me iam going to do that thing that you did to me back to you, for you can see how it feel.
    This mean that if you don't want something done to you then do do it to somebody then you wont have no mess.
    This matter because some people don't know how it feel when they do something mean to somebody but if it happen to them and they see how it feel they want do it a gan.

  13. 1.This quote says that if someone does something wrong that everyone will go ahead and do it also(to get revenge)and if they keep it up everyone would be involved.

    2. This quote means that at times you just have to let things go before it goes bad,do things right and not do the worse. It means that the world will worsen and they will be a lot of violence.

    3.It matters because the community is part of the world and what you do or act is whats going to be happening around you.If you have violence around your neighborhood anyone can get involved in a bad issue and even end up dieing.If someone does something bad the other person will worsen the situation. You can apply this to your life by thinking about your problems differently and trying to stay away from your problems.

  15. It's saying that if we could only get bitter sweet revenge what can happen. What this means is that if we avenge for the people we have lost there can major issues. There can be little population if we avenge for the lost and even if you do something like kill another person because they killed some one you loved how can that bring them back that's not the solution.It matters to me because I have lost someone in my family because of something that can happen to everyone I just don't want to say it but if I do something about it I can't bring them back. I can apply this to my life by never trying to avenge for someone. I must be in peace with others. With this I can learn whats gone is gone. Finally, to be strong and let it be.

  16. I think this is saying that if every one is in the eye for an for an eye situation then eventually the whole world would be blind.

    I think this means that if you snitch on me then I'm going to snitch on you. That's like saying if I go to jail I;mgo make sure you go to jail too.

    I think this matters because if someone lies on you doesn't mean you have to lie on them. It also matters because its like everyone is here for themselves and its neither ride or die. Everyone is on their own. It applies to me because if someone puts their hands on me I'm go do the same thing to them. All in all it can be situated differently not by doing something to them just because they did it to you

  17. - In my opinion , this quote means if someone does something wrong to you , your allowed to get them back , but if we live our life trying to get revenge and do to someone what they have done to us , we would get nowhere in life because well be constantly going at it.This means if we keep doing to someone because of what they have done to us , you will get nowhere in life because your constantly trying to seek revenge.
    - This quote can be used in life by simply teaching you to let things go. If your constantly trying to get someone back because of what they've done to you , you will not get anything else done in life. Let that person do something to you wrong and just leave it alone. Karma comes to bit you in the butt , so if they thought they got away with doing something wrong to you , let them think it , because sooner or later their time will come. A quote for me that I use that's opposite to this is and backs up what I'm am trying to get across to the reader is , " Every dog has its day ,and you will lay in the bed you have made!"

  18. 1- This says that one person is for themselves, then no one is united.

    2- This means that as long as people choose be selfish and ungrateful then the entire human race will never be one. We can't help you if you can't help yourself.

    3- This matters because you have to eventually come to terms and realize what makes you-you in life. One day you're going to need help from someone but no ones going to be willing to help you if you can't or have not helped yourself yet. Being in this world is a blessing, being alive, but if all you care about is yourself then you might as well be dead to the rest of the people. "An eye for an eye", is a horrible tactic to have. It gets you no respect, no help, and basically your determined to make an a** out of yourself.
    If you can't help you then who can, who would even be willing to? You're for self and self only then that's what people are gong to look at you as when you ask for anything. You can't expect anything from this world if you're not willing to put out. That would be out of line for you to even think about trying to ask for any type of handout if all you care about is benefiting for yourself. Help me once, and I'll help you twice

  19. It says that if someone does something you have the right to get them back.It means that if their is violence it not only harms the person who is being harmed but the person who is being violent.

    This is important because if everyone got revenge for what a person did to them then everyone would be dead.It really maters because everyone should not take it in their hands. That's why there is the law to take care of violence.If every one took it in their hands every one would be dead by now.So its important to not take it in your hands because you can regret it.

  20. What does this say?
    I think that it says that is you do something bad to someone you have the right to punish them back however you want, its either the same way or a different way but the point is, to get them back for what they did to you.

    what does this mean?
    I think that this means that, someone messes with you, you have a right to do something back to them. Or if they do something to you, they will let you get back at them, or get pay back.

    why does it matter or simply, how can you apply
    this to your life?
    I think that this matters because that is telling us that we have a right. That right is about how we can defend our self's when someone messes with us. Even if its something little and simple you can still do what you want to them because they accused you for something you didn't you didn't do. Also you can get pay back in the justice system but i think if you do it personaly

  21. This says revenge is not a good thing. Whatever it may be just for get about it its not worth it to seek revenge. Sure it is going to bug you but some one is going to eventually get hurt and why put your health/life at risk over something stupid. although that's what this means I do not believe in this simple if your being messed with revenge can be sweet I know I've try to get revenge and it felt good!
