Section E- Interpretation (36 marks)

Part A: Pick any 3 of the following quotes and interpret the quote by explaining what you think it means.

1. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may"

 

Part B: Read the following excerpt from Creating the Innocent Killer by John Kessel and explain the quotation. Your answer should also touch upon the idea that the truly guilty parties escape blame almost entirely when they are, in fact, more culpable (responsible).

The doctrine(belief) that the morality of an action is solely determined by the actor’s motive rests on a significant assumption: that the good always know what their motives are, and are never moved to do things for selfish reasons while yet thinking themselves moved by virtue (good and moral character). Ender has perfect knowledge of his own motives and the motives of others. Ender never suspects himself of doing other than what he thinks himself to be doing. This issue of genocide puts the morality of intention to its ultimate test. We may forgive Ender the killings of Stilson and Bonzo, but can we forgive him the extermination of a race of intelligent creatures? If, therefore, intention alone determines guilt or innocence, and the dead are dead because of misunderstanding or because they bring destruction on themselves, and the true sacrifice is the suffering of the killer rather than the killed—then Ender’s feeling of guilt is gratuitous. Yet despite the fact that he is fundamentally innocent, he takes “the sins of the world” onto his shoulders and bears the opprobrium(blame) that properly belongs to the people who made him into their instrument of genocide. He is the murderer as scapegoat. The genocide as savior. Hitler as Christ the redeemer.
