Ruben chose not to unload any more boats even though he had opportunities, thinking it wasn't right, yet he accepted jobs bartending, using illegal liquor. How do you think he justified this? Why was one wrong and the other apparently okay?
I really don't know... I don't think it matters whether your un-loading it, or serving it, your still in contact with illegal alcohol!!! I don't think EITHER of them are right, and he shouldn't be doing either of them!!! I don't possibly know WHY he would do even ONE of them!!!
Same here! both jobs BOTH have to do with handling illegal alcohol so I don't know why he would even choose to do one job! Let alone be a bartender! I don't see why any one of those jobs would be good! And I agree with Shannon, it DOESN'T matter if you un-loading it OR handling it, you're still doing SOMETHING with illegal alcohol!
I think that he decided to be a bartender because he wouldn't get thrown in jail by the police and so he could earn money. I don't think it is right because he is still handling illegal liquor.
I think that he chose not to unload any more boats because he didn't want his mother to be worried or his father to be dissapointed that he was breaking the law to get money.

ReplyDeleteI hope that he explains himself!

ReplyDeleteI think he decided to to be a bartender because of what happened when he first unloaded a boat.
