'No Way'

5 It's her house, she says. Her house. I'm not going to let her get away with
6 this. No way. I'm through with her! No visits. No phone calls. Let
7 her wonder where I am. Let her sweat … I know—I'll take her credit

SUGGESTIONS FOR CONVERSATION
1. In this scene, Dan has unkind thoughts toward his mother. Then he quickly controls himself and accepts the situation. But for a moment, it seems that an "evil side" of his personality takes control of him. Do you think that everyone has both a good and an evil side? Are some people born more evil than others? Do you ever have an evil wish—the desire to harm someone? Do you think that there are evil forces in nature—outside evil influences that affect us? Or is our moral behaviour always a matter of individual choice?
2. In the Bible (Genesis, Chapter 3), Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil—which God had forbidden them to do. Because of this, they had to leave the Garden of Eden. Why do you think they had been told not to eat from this tree? What is the knowledge of good and evil?
3. Capital punishment means the penalty of death for a crime. Do you agree that some crimes, such as premeditated (planned) murder, deserve the punishment of death? Explain the reasons for your answer.
SUGGESTIONS FOR WRITING
1. You have just heard Dan's thoughts. Write what Mama may be thinking now.
2. Write a paragraph in which you make a true confession.
E. Read the following selection from the Bible (New Testament: Matthew, Chapter 5). These are the words of Jesus. You may use a dictionary after you try to answer the question below.
1 "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a
2 tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, do not resist him who is
3 evil; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him
4 the other also …
5 You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbour,
6 and hate your enemy.'
7 But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who
8 persecute you."
Read the following statements and decide which one Jesus doesn't agree with according to the reading above. Cross out that statement.
1. Love everyone.
2. Treat others the way they treat you.
3. We should never participate in a war.
4. If someone tries to hurt you, don't fight against him.
FOR CONVERSATION
Tell why you agree or disagree with the main idea of this reading.
F. Listen to the song once. Then as you listen a second time, try to fill in the missing prepositions—one word in each blank. You may continue to listen as many times as you like in order to complete the song.

NOTES
1. to measure (line 3). Verb: to measure = to consider carefully
EXAMPLE: When you are at the interview, if you measure your words, I am sure that you will impress the interviewer.
2. go for (line 4). Idiom: to go for = to try to achieve (a goal)
EXAMPLE: All the athletes in the Olympic games want to "go for the gold" medals.
3. challenge (line 4). Noun: a challenge = something difficult to do—but worth doing
EXAMPLE: My psychology course is a challenge for me; it's a lot of work, but I'm learning a lot.
Besides learning English, what is a challenge in your life now?
4. beckon (line 7). Verb: to beckon = to motion for someone to come near
5. ponder (line 8). Verb: to ponder = to think about, slowly and deeply

6. tinged (line 11). Verbal Adjective: tinged = coloured a little bit
EXAMPLE: Her dark hair is tinged with silver.
7. voices who tease me... voices who sing... (lines 13 and 14).
Grammar: We usually say voices that, not voices who. Here, the songwriter is using his poetic freedom (called "poetic license") because he wants to give a strong human quality to the voices. See step J in this unit for more about who, that, and which.
8. tease (line 13). Verb: to tease = to make fun (of someone)
EXAMPLE: The young boy's classmates teased him because he was wearing his shirt inside out.
9. before (line 16). Preposition: before = in front of (coming in the future; not yet accomplished)
EXAMPLE: My final exams are next week, so I have a few days of serious studying before me.
10. amid (line 18). Preposition: amid = in the middle of; among
EXAMPLE: We discovered a photograph of our grandfather amid some old papers in the basement.
11. clamor (line 18). Noun: a clamor = a loud, complaining noise
EXAMPLE: The President ignored the clamor of the people, who were so strongly against his policies. Students demonstrated at universities across the country.
12. glamour (line 20). Noun: glamour = attractiveness because of an external quality
EXAMPLE: Many students actors like the glamour of Hollywood, but they don't realize the hard work that a performer's life demands.
13. cheers (line 21). Noun: cheers = shouts of approval
EXAMPLE: The ballplayers appreciate the cheers of the crowd.
14. sin (line 26). Noun: sin = breaking a moral law
EXAMPLE: Do you believe that it is always a sin to kill another human being?
