Right or Wrong?

Was it okay for the girls to dig up human bones, or was it morally wrong for them to take the bones from the graves?

Defend your answer.

  1. I think that it was right (well ok) for them to dig up bones, because:
    #1: They need to do it to survive
    #2: I bet the dead person wouldn't mind being in a hospital then in an old grave stone!
    #3: They again wouldn't mind; it is the girls.....I mean.....Tea boy & Kaseem's sacrifice for being grossed out.

  2. it was ok to dig up the bones because the bones arent going to do anything and they need the money.

  3. I thought that it was not okay for them to dig up bones, because there are land mines in the grave yards.

  4. I think it was wrong for them to dig up human bones because you never know who's family the person belonged to. It could be your family, a friend's family, or anybody else's. Overall, digging up your own kind just does not seem right.

  5. I think it is okay depending on the circumstance. Since Parvana's family is in need of help, it is okay. But, if they had enough monney to function and had extra it would be wrong.

  6. I think that it was okay for them because they needed to survive, and get the money for the food that they need to eat.They did make a sacrafice for the family by being grossed out.

  7. I think it was wrong because who wants their bones to be dug up and sold after they die? And also it's disrespectful to the dead. So unless they agreed to letting someone dig up their bones I think it's wrong even if they're mean people.

  8. I think it was so wrong for young girls like them to dig up other human bones. One I don't think the humans who are down there would enjoy them digging them up, because when you are buried I think you don't to come back up again. I also think that they weren't at the appropriate age to be doing that.

  9. I think it was wrong because:
    1. it was disrespectful to the person they are digging up
    2. it wasn't their property
    3. they weren't related to the person
    4. they can make money other ways
    5. it was morally wrong to dig up dead people because, they are making cash from the remains of the dead

  10. I think it is wrong for them to dig up bones because the people that are dead wouldn't like it if they were alive today, and their families won't like their relative's grave being dug up.

  11. It's not completely right, but it isn't exactly wrong. It pays good and both families are in need of money.Plus, if they ever want to get those trays, finding a good paying job is a good idea. And if I was a skeleton, I wouldn't mind being disturbed if it was for a good cause, but otherwise, digging up bones of your own kind just doesn't seem right. It'd also be akward and -in my opinoin, kind of dangerous to dirty my hands with the dead. It could have been someone you knew.

  12. I think it was wrong and okay.
    They wrong part was they never knew whose bones it belonged to. They did not have the right to dig the bones because the person might have not wanted them to. the okay part is if they REALLY need money and they have no food maybe it is okay for one day

  13. I don't think that digging up your own kind's bones just to earn more money is a very practical idea. When somebody dies, let them rest in peace. Don't dig them up like you don't care about who they were or what they did. Everybody, even the dead, has a purpose in life. Would you enjoy a complete stranger digging up your bones for the sake of their own life? Isn't that a little greedy?

  14. Honestly, I don't see why anyone, even if they were nearly broke and very desperate, would take up bone-digging as a job. I really don't think that digging up someone's bones with an old wooden board because you need the money is okay at all. If that someone had a spirit, they would no longer have the feeling of safety that they should have; they should rest in peace. How would you feel? Your bones would be sold to a BLACK MARKET! That, under any crisis, is unacceptable!

  15. I don't think that digging up other peoples bones is ok at all. All they are trying to get out of it is to earn money for their family which is ok but i'm sure they can find more of a practical job. I wouldn't want people to dig up my bones they should let dead bodies alone and have nothing to do with it. Also, that wouldn't make me feel happy being in a graveyard all day it actually would make me kind of depressed. I think Parvana could of made a better decision based on who she is.

  16. I think that it depends on what point of view you are looking at it from because it did help Parvana and Shauzia get more money, but digging up bones of your own kind is wrong. Why else would bone distribution be outlawed when India was trading bones with us because it is not a healthy or good thing to do on other peoples land.

  17. There is nothing left for them to do they have to provide for their families.Maybe I would if I had too.

  18. I think it was both wrong and right. I don't think it was okay that they went behind their parents' backs. Also, the thoughts they could have after digging up the bones could really frighten someone for a long time. I thought it was okay because they really needed some money and it turns out that it was all for a good cause-to feed their families.

  19. I think it is okay to dig up the dead bodies because-
    1.Parvana and Shauzia need the money to survive
    2.When someone is dead they are dead; it is not like they know they are being dug up
    3.Pretty much all the dead bodies there are not getting any visits
    4.No one cares for the bodies so why not use them for something

  20. I don't think digging up graves and profiting from the dead is a good thing to do. I know it's for many for their families, but still, they're not respecting the dead corpse's resting in peace. Maybe if they had asked the people before they had died, but no. They're just stealing their insides, body parts, which THEY were given for their Life-Span and taking them to sell them to who knows what this man is going to do with them. If he wanted to he could use people's bones as tooth floss.

    you do not have the persons permission

    right

    they get money from it to buy the resorses for their families.

  22. I think it is wrong for them to dig up bones because everyone should have a proper grave. Also, the girls could be digging up the bones of their family members or family friends. Another thing is everyone derserves the right to Rest In Peace. Why else would they have R.I.P. on peoples graves(even though the girls probaly don't see the graves because of the destruction of the graveyard).

  23. It is morally wrong to dig up human bones. People who have passed on need to be honored and be left to rest in peace. Digging them up is disturbing and disrespectful to their memory and family. To me, it is not cool.
