Haper Lee


          Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird, is suing her agent for copyright.
          "Lee claims that Samuel Pinkus, the son-in-law of her longtime agent, Eugene Winick, tricked her into signing over her copyright in 2007 when she was in an assisted-living facility after having suffered a stroke."She was not well and the fact that she is elderly and had physical infirmities, which made hard for her to see, meant that she could not read the paper Pinkus had given her to sign over her copyright.
           "Lee aims to stop Pinkus from receiving any more royalties from the hit novel, which has sold more than 30 million copies to date." This was such a good book that it is placed top 1 of all time. Who would not reclaim the book after being top best. You wrote it so why just give away a creation of yours.          I agree with Lee on suing her agent. She wrote the book and that makes it her own ideas therefore I would reclaim it. She has problems with her sight and she had just past a hard situation, and someone decides to take what's hers, I would sue just as she did

Forgiven


A dying Nazi soldier asks a Jew to forgive him for the killing innocent Jews during the holocaust. Does the Nazi deserve to be forgiven or does he deserve to die knowing that he regretted what he did and yet they still did not forgive him. I think he does deserve to be forgiven. If I had to be the one who had to forgive the Nazi I would do it. I believe that if I want to be forgiven then I must first forgive. I think if the Nazi really was sorry for what he did and regretted it then he should be forgiven. If you where almost dead, you look up and you see the Pearson you hurt and not just him/her but the whole family, and you ask for forgiveness, regretting what you had done to their entire family, and they say no to you and look at you with hate. I forgive the Nazi because you never know if you will be put in the same position, even if you say it will never happen.
