1. Bugs Bunny: What is his deal, in terms of Justice?
Bugs Bunny flouts Justice professionally. I think someone should investigate him, as I have to wonder if these Looney Toons types are a gang of organized Justice flouters. I mean, think about it: A bunny, a duck, a guy with a red handlebar moustache, a befuddled hunter, a cat who can't tell the difference between a mouse and a baby kangaroo, and a Mexican mouse all get together in the name of flouting Justice and making sure Mischief reigns. It's probably the only thing they have in common.
Though that Sailor Duck guy without the pants and the chipmunks in his backyard? I wonder if he's got a similar organization going. The coincidences are eerily alike otherwise.
2. Imagine two puppies quarrelling. Would your usual methods of negotiation/force to stop the fight still be applied? How would things change?
Maybe the puppies are quarrelling for a reason. Maybe they used to be best friends until one redheaded puppy realized the other blonde puppy didn't actually respect her opinions and thought it was okay to try to keep the redheaded first puppy locked inside where she wouldn't be able to get hurt or injured or do anything, for that matter. And maybe the blonde other puppy needs to understand that the first redheaded puppy is going to do whatever the hell she wants because she can make her own decisions based on her own criteria, thank you.
Janet stared at what she'd written, scratched it all out, and wrote instead: Maybe the puppies should just stop talking to each other. Maybe it's better that way.
3. Explain the difference between Vengence and Justice with a metaphor involving the common farm animal of your choice.
Justice is like a chicken, scratching for truth in the barnyard, but Justice can turn into Vengeance when the chicken is looking for a particularly tasty worm and it won't give up scratching until it has what it wants, and it doesn't care who else it hurts in the process.
EC. Please write a brief descriptive paragraph using a comparison between Justice, squirrels and the color blue.
Janet frowns. Her metaphor-writing abilities are horrible.
Squirrels hunt for nuts to store them away for the upcoming winter. Maybe instead of hunting for nuts to store for food, they're hunting for nuts as weapons to use against evildoers. Say, if it's the middle of winter and there is evil afoot in the park, a squirrel can don a little blue spandex superhero uniform but without the cool antennae or the very professorly tie hidden in its nest, and dig into its store of winter nuts. Then, suddenly, the evildoer is pelted with nuts in the name of Justice! And possibly the evildoer will get hit with a nut at just the right angle and repent evil. Or get a soul. But really, how often does that happen? Just driving away evil in the midst of winter is enough.
