The twins proved that all people on earth are both straight and crooked minded. On page 27, the right handed twin made a deer and many other beautiful animals that were harmful. These animals show how the right handed twin is always doing the right things so that he doesn’t hurt others. The two twins started to duel on another so one could rule and vanish the other. The right handed twin ended up being the one who wins the battle and destroys his devious twin (Pg.28). Him being able to kill his brother shows just how crooked minded he is along with straight minded.

I agree because they proved how all people on earth are both straight and crooked minded because everyone can be either good or bad. the twins keep fighting and violence is never the answer which makes them look crooked minded. the twins create life which makes them seem straight minded

I agree with this view on human nature because everyone has a straight mind or crooked mind. The right twin has a straight mind. The left twin has a crooked mind. The left handed twin never said what he meant or meant what he said (p.26). On the other hand, the right handed twin was the one who did everything just as he should (p.26). The twins fight to vanquish the other to determine who the better twin was

I disagree because in my opinion people can be both good and bad. There is times where good people do bad things and where bad people do good things. Sometimes peole just have to make the choice which one they want to be at certain periods of times, they can switch on and off. When you are usually a good person and you get angry you will usually yell and get mad, that is your bad side.

I agree many people who are nice have done things they are not proud of. Many people who aren't as nice have done things that make them feel a lot better about what they've done. Just because someone isn't considered nice doesn't mean they haven't done a nice gesture in their life. Or just because someone is Nice doesn't mean they haven't done something bad.

I disagree because human nature would not be balanced out if this was the case.People can have good and bad in them, its depends on the situation that they are in.On page 28 the right handed twin proved my point by after being the better twin throughout the whole story was triggered to do bad and kill his grandmother and brother.

I disagree because although many people do seem evil or others do seem nice every single person has a bit of both in them. Everyone has done things are not proud of and everyone has done things that make them evil or good. In my opinion everyone is a little bit of both, everyone has done something bad. Just like everyone has done something nice.

I highly disagree with you, while, yes a straight mind or a crooked mind may be true, it is how you have phrased having such a mind. The body and mind of one will be straight until it has done what is considered crooked to all. But, who is to define the meaning of crooked while we in ourselves are. The right twin, as you suggested, "was the one who did everything just as he should". What is incorrect, is that the neither of the twin were better than one of the other, due to the factor that they are opposites. Who is to decided who is crooked or not, is the question, but while the right twin seems to has done all he has needed to have done correctly, he does not. As said in the text when the Right twin actually lies and does a crooked task that was actually finally defined by the left twin. This definition is shot out as the left twin continues to be the opposite of his brother, the right twin. He creates this definition by being the same person he has been, his mind was never set astray and he has actually done what was needed, counter what the brother does. But, if the right twins path is reflected on how much crooked his brother has done, he decided that a lie would never be considered bad due to the harm of his brother. So in the end, is it the left twin whose mind was always on the correct path, or the right twin whose mind eventually changed to that of the wrong path.

I agree because the human nature of a normal person is not perfect. The left handed twin had more of a bad side, and the right handed twin had more of a good side, this symbolizes a person whom has two different sides to themselves. An example of why people have both good and bad in them is when the right handed twin ended up killing the left handed twin (P.28). He was a kind and gentle person normally but something in him changed his moral, and suddenly his goal was to kill his brother. All throughout the story the right handed twin was known as the good twin, but in the end the left handed twin did the good for the world and the good for his brother, and let his brother kill him (p.28).

I agree with you on multiple occasions. The mind, or human nature, of one is not perfect. The two brothers "symbolizes a person whom has two different sides to themselves" as you said. But with these two different sides come corruption that goes from the left to the right, literally. The right twin's view on evil is manipulated by the acts that his twin has previously done. Lying is put in his mind as "ok", but as long as he beliefs it is for the common good. This is a common thought of the mind that tricks the person into thinking that they have done good, while it is a bad dead that is characterized by their opposite.

I agree with this statement because everyone is both good and bad. No one is just all good or all bad. On page 28, the right twin which is the good twin killed the bad twin or the left twin. After this, he goes back to the grandma and kills her as well. This proves that good people can do very bad things. People who oppose of this statement are misguided because one person is never entirely god or entirely bad. On page 23 t grandmother knew that she was not supposed to take anything from the tree but did it anyway.

I believe all people have both good and bad in them. On page 28, the right-handled twin, who never does anything wrong, lied to his brother so he could win, then killed him. However, just because we all have good and bad in us, doesn't mean they both show equally. For example, a man who bullies somebody everyday in school would be someone who has more bad in them; however, maybe that person also volunteers for a soup kitchen on the weekends.I don't believe that someone could be 100% bad, nor could they be 100% good. Every good person has moments where they do something that is usually not acceptable, whether it be to help someone out, or just to stay out of trouble.

I agree with the statement because the left handed twin represented the world by being very stubborn and the right was normal. The twins were very different and they both represent two sides of the world. On page 26, it describes the twins arguing with one another. There wasn't any peace between them, the right handed twin wanted to be normal but the left didn't agree with him because he wanted to be normal as well. They were never on the same page.

The mind of all men has been corrupted and shows in the text. The minds of many or often moving to the right path, but when this path is interrupted, the mind may find another way around. This is proven when the husband abdicate his wife with the wants she desires. She herself, has a block in her path, this leads to her needed to find a way to receive what she wants even if it is common knowledge that what she is doing, is wrong(Page 24). Only once she is saved by the creatures, does she realize what she has done. While what she did was wrong, it has also improved how she lives for when she begins to create the world with the roots, so it makes out to be a good deed in her mind.

I think that all people are not just straight and crooked minded. I believe this to be true because in the beginning of man kind people came up with thoughts and ideas. Eventually these ideas and thoughts were opposed by other people with their own ideas. Even though we believe some things are right and some are wrong , we never were truly told the exact way of life and how we should live it. On page 26-28 on The World of the Turtles back an example would be the right twin. Even though he was characterized as a good person he killed his brother and his grandmother.

I agree with the statement that everyone has a "crooked" or "straight" mind. I think this because everyone has different mind sets and nobody is the same, and we all make different decisions. We have our opinions on things we believe are right or wrong. Everyone has good and bad things in them. For example, the right-handed twin never does anything wrong, but on page 28 while the twins were playing a game the right-handed twin selected a deer antler that he knew would destroy his brother. He picked it so he could win. Even though the right-handed twin was good, he had some bad to him.

I agree that everyone has a crooked or straight mind. I agree because people mind sets are different, everybody are not the same. People have bad ways inside of them and have a good ways. My example for my statement is how in the book on page 28 to the end, the right twin always was the good one and the left twin was always the evil one. The right twin never lied but when he played this dangerous game with his twin another side of him came out. In order to win the game he had to put his two different personalities together in order to trick his brother so he could win.

I agree with Angel's statement especially when she said everyone's mind set is different for example on pg.24 when the woman took the bark for the tree and she knew she wasn't supposed to do that that shows right there that she was more inclined to doing more deviant acts the upright ones so that shows that no everyone's the same that's what makes us so special

I agree because we all are like the right and left hand brothers just like Cane and Abel. Abel was the good brother he did everything God told him to do as for Cane even though he tried to do the right thing he still did the opposite and he killed his brother just because he was jealous. So you see no one in this world is completely good or bad because at the end of the day were just all human so we make mistakes.

I disagree with the point that someone can be a straight minded person or a crooked minded person. For example The right twin(page 28) being the "normal one" killed his left handed brother. Since he killed him he can't be just a straight minded person. Emotions have a role in the conversation if you're really mad or sad you could do something crooked and you won't be able to take it back. This goes the other way around too, if you're considered crooked and you're feeling happy and you help someone out and do something good then you're not just a crooked person. Everyone is crooked and Normal, you can't be one or the other

I agree because the way the human nature is set up, nobody is perfect. There is both good and bad in people. The right hand was considered the normal one and the left hand was known as the stubborn one. On page 28, it tells how everything had changed. The right hand lied to the left hand while the left hand for once told the truth and ended up killing the left hand. In addition, the right hand killed the grandma.

I agree because not everyone is perfect everyone makes mistakes and does wrong things at one point. You arent born with a bad mind or attitude its just the way people choose and turn out to be. There can be a lot of good in people and there can also be a lot of bad in people. Sometimes you will have to make the "wrong decision" maybe if it is for a good reason like to save somebody.

I agree because there is always a way someone thinks and how they act. All people on the world be either bad or good based on their mindset. The world on the turtles back showed me that the twins are the evil and good side of people's or example when the right handed twin made prey and the left handed twin made predators. In addition the right handed twin killed the evil twin showing that the good side ruled over. Every person in the world is either good or bad based on how they act and the things they do.

Furthermore is the left handed twin was evil but good at the same time while the right handed twin was good and evil also so they both had there flaws.

I believe that everyone no matter who they are have some good and some bad in them. An example would be like on(page 29) where the right handed twin lied to the left handed twin just so he could defeat and kill him. Even though he was the one who never did anything wrong he did what he thought was needed to defeat the left handed twin. Another example would be like if a man had been caught stealing something got in big trouble, but actually he is the one who is always donating to charities all around and looking to make the world a better place. Even though somebody does something wrong doesn't mean they're crooked minded. No matter who you are people will eventually make mistakes, nobody is perfect.
