Ilunga's Pride
When Mikel first meets Ilunga, he seemed to be a true warrier -stepping out into Mikel's path in all of his splendor. Later, the village thinks Ilunga is embarrassing himself by picking up garbage at the market - something the dogs and goats do. Do you think there are things people shouldn't do - jobs that are belittling or do you think honest work is simply honest work?

You should always do the right thing no matter how remedial it seems, but you should also try to do your best.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stevie, no matter how much people look down on you, you should always try to do the right thing, and it always helps to try your best.
ReplyDeleteYou should always follow your heart on what you want to do. Nobody should tell you you can't.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you, you should always try to do the right thing. Who cares what other people think.
ReplyDeleteI think you should do whatever you can to stay alive in this world. Honest work is honest work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christine, Abbie, and Sara, you should do whatever you think is right and not care what everyone thinks. The only opinion that matters is yours.
ReplyDeleteI think that you should do what you need to do to stay alive.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you really need it, who really cares what the others think. You need what you need.
ReplyDeleteI think that if you believe that it is right then you should do it. Even if others are telling you that you look bad.
ReplyDeleteI think that it doesn't matter what you do for a job, if it keeps you alive and it's legal what's wrong with it? Somebody has to do it eventually.
ReplyDeleteI think that if you think that it is the right thing to do you shouldn't be worrying about what other people think.
ReplyDeleteI think you should do whatever you think is right. If no one wants to do the dirty work then the job will never get done. Ilunga was just doing what he thought was right.
ReplyDeleteI think that no matter how many people make fun of you or look down at you. You should do whatever it is that you think is important. You shouldn't be scared of doing something because other people don't agree with you. Its your opinion and that's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteI think you should do what you believe in and it doesn't matter what other people are saying, because their opinion sucks.
ReplyDeleteI think that in world honest work is dwindling, and it makes me sad. If you can find honest work, it is more rewarding as a person than to simply go for the quickest money, in my opinion. It makes you a healthier person to feel good about yourself, whereas the others frowning down upon you would seem to make you feel insignificant, but there is no feeling like completing honest work, whether or not you earn as much money.
ReplyDeleteI agree with most of the people that commented. You should do what you think is right and don't let anybody tell you that you can't do it or your not capable of doing it.
ReplyDeletei think that people shouldn't have judged Ilunga just because he was trying to survive.
ReplyDeleteDo what you think is right. Plain and simple, even if people lose respect for you.
ReplyDeleteHonest work is honest work. You shouldn't care what other people think. If you think it's belittling, though, don't do it.
ReplyDeleteI believe that an honest living is an honest living. Sure some things can be embarressing to do, but you have to remember that your looking out for family and yourself! Do care so much about what others think, care about how you want to live and act.
ReplyDeleteI think you should do what your heart is telling you to do and to do the right thing. No one can tell you, you can't.
ReplyDeleteI think that honest work is honest work. I think that you should do whatever you believe is right and not do what others think is right. You should, care about how you want to live your life and what your values are.
