Groundhog Day
Read and respond in the comment section underneath the poem to either #1 and #2 or 3 of the three following questions:
1) What is this poem about?
2) Why does Rita quote from it?
3) Make three explicit links between the film Groundhog Day and Aristotle's virtue ethics.
If you are one of the first ten to respond then that is all you must do. If however, you are not one of the first ten, you must make reference to the ideas of two other students that you agree with/disagree (explaining why fully).
Make sure that you leave your full name (first, last, and period #) in the comment section.
Sir Walter Scott
Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored , and unsung.
