Do you think it is worth it to go against the greater good for your family? How is this similar/different from the events in "Death Coming Up the Hill?"
In certain circumstances, it is worth going against the greater good for family. In death coming up the hill, Ash opposes the war. He thinks it is unnecessary. When it came to provide for his mom and sister, he went to the place where the war was happening to help his family. This is so brave and is like covering a grenade for his soldier friends. Jaylen
Jaylen Conley, I agree with your opinion on going against the greater good for your family. Ash was willing to sacrifice himself, his safety and his opposition to the war just to make sure his family would be taken care of. Ash was a very brave person and didn't put himself first which are very important qualities.
I think that it would be worth going against the greater good for my family, but not in every situation. If my brother were to break the law in a minor way, I might turn my head. But if he committed a major crime, I would probably help to turn him in. This is similar to the events in the book because Ashe is avoiding going to war to stay with his family, but eventually he realizes that going to war could benefit his family.
Yes, he is fighting a war he doesn't believe in because he wants to protect his mother and new sister. He is going against the greater good so that his family will be taken care of.
